Title: Discovery Channel Forum Plans European Vacation
Body: The Travel Channel is soliciting suggestions on where to send a team of travel journalists when they visit 7 European cities with only $50 a day. The travelers will visit Berlin, Athens, Venice, Prague, Barcelona, Amsterdam, and Paris. The program and its Web site were recently recommended on the FLTEACH listserv as a good source of information for anyone planning either their own European trip or a lesson on the culture of one or more of these cities. http://travel.discovery.com/fansites/5takes/5takes.html

Title: Activity for Teaching Questions
Body: Here's an activity I did today to practice asking questions and using interrogative expressions: I told the class that I had a letter from a boy (although it could also be a girl) called Claude Dumas. Unfortunately Claude is not particularly bright and doesn't write very well. His sentences are very choppy and sometimes he just seems to lose control and his words end up as scribbles. Here's what I wrote by hand on the overhead (the scribbled parts are indicated with xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx): Je m'appelle Claude Dumas. J'habite à xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. En xxxxxxxxxx je joue au tennis. Je joue assez xxxxxxxxxx. Je joue avec xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. Je joue au tennis parce que xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. Après l'école je regarde xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx à la télé. Je regarde ce programme à xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx heures. Xxxxxxxxxxxxxx prépare le dîner. Plus tard je téléphone à xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. They were to write back to Claude, asking him about the information that they couldn't read. The answers I was looking for were: Où habites-tu? Quand joues-tu au tennis? Comment joues-tu? Avec qui joues-tu? Pourquoi joues-tu au tennis? Qu'est-ce que tu regardes à la télé? A quelle heure regardes-tu le programme? Qui prépare le dîner? A qui téléphones-tu? The students enjoyed it and a couple of boys picked up on the "Dumas" - remember that commercial where the interviewee mispronounced the boss' name? Freeman, M.A. Activity for questions (French).

Title: Ideas for Cognate Activities
Body: A recent request on the FLTEACH listserv for activities for learning about cognates received the following reply from a Spanish teacher. This type of activity might be useful for teachers of beginning learners of any language which shares similar vocabulary with English. ---- 1. Use the Pledge of Allegiance to introduce cognates and show the students that they can understand. http://www.secstate.wa.gov/flag/pledge.aspx 2. Get pictures or clip art of different people/animals: actor, actress, doctor, student, detective, elephant, gorilla, etc. Give each person a name and make a list of the professions/words in Spanish. Have students match them and write a sentence in Spanish. You can make this into a worksheet, do a paired or group activity, or post pictures around the room, have students match sentences or the words and then write the sentences. 3. Bulletin Board: Have the students bring in the words or picture/word. 4. Adjectives: You can use a Venn diagram to use cognates to describe themselves and a friend and characteristics they have in common. 5. Pronunciation practice: Divide class into teams to practice pronunciation/spelling. 6. Dictionary practice: Pair the students and have them discover the cognates. 7. Find a simple reading, have the students make a list of the cognates and then draw the content to show their understanding. Stolbach, E. Cognates. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv.

Title: Materials Needed for Relocated Immersion Students
Body: We send our condolences to our colleagues in Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana who are dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. The concerns we all face at the beginning of the school year have given way to simple survival for many of you now. Many of you will not have a school to return to once the water subsides. Our hearts are wrenched by reports of the devastation across the southern United States, and the desire to help if possible. For now, we can only sympathize, and hope that you and your students are safe. *********** One school we know a little about is one that has an award-winning French Immersion program, the Edward Hynes Elementary School in New Orleans. The program offers K-6 partial French Immersion. http://www.hynesschool.org/faq/index.php#FIgeneral A parent from Hynes writes: “At this time, I am unsure as to what exactly can be done for the Hynes community. We are spread out over about five or six different states, from Florida to Texas. Unfortunately, several of the schools where we are temporarily enrolling our children have absolutely no elementary foreign language resources. Many families still in Louisiana are trying to move to schools in areas with French Immersion programs. We operate a e-group at Yahoo, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/hynes-pto/ and I will send out a message on it tomorrow to see where and what our teachers and parents recommend. We certainly don't want our children to lose their language skills and practice because of the storm. We might use books and tapes in French, software, games, etc. ANYTHING that can keep our children's skills sharp will be useful. I will try to compile a list of addresses to send the stuff to, but right now, it looks like we will all be displaced for six months to a year.” Angel Dean Collins, temporarily relocated to Tuscumbia, AL ************ Please let us know (email nclrc@gwu.edu) how your school fared if you are in an area affected by the hurricane. If you’d like to convey a message to the foreign language teaching community, we’d be glad to hear from you. If you’re looking for a school in which to place your child, you might contact your state association to find out where foreign language programs are in schools you are near. A list is available here: http://www.valdosta.edu/scolt/state_assoc.htm NCLRC. Special Message from NCLRC. nclrc@gwu.edu (2 Sept. 2005).

Title: Recommended Textbooks for Teaching Turkish
Body: A recent request on the LLTI listserv for recommended Turkish textbooks received the following replies: ---- Yale's Turkish teacher tells me that she uses: (1) Kayip Canta by Eser Taylan and Didar Akar, distributed by Bogazici University Press (available through Amazon.com) and (2) a grammar workbook (Workbook for Hikmet Sebuktekin's Yabancilar icin Turkce) Eser Taylan and Muammer Serin, also Bogazici University Press. The Language Materials Project at UCLA http://www.lmp.ucla.edu has a database that lists, by language, all the materials that the Project staff has actually seen -- textbooks, audio, software, reference grammars, etc. LLTI-Editor. Re: #7978.3 Textbooks for Turkish (!). Language Learning and Technology International Information Forum. LLTI@LISTSERV.DARTMOUTH.EDU (1 Sept. 2005). ---- One of our grad students recently put together a dozen lessons (4 each for beg., int., adv) of media-rich and culturally interesting material. It's not real polished yet, but it did show how easy the U. Wisconsin tool, Multimedia Lesson Builder, is to use. His site is at: http://babel.uoregon.edu/YLC/selfstudy/turkish/lessons Also, at FLEAT, Mike Bush mentioned that his research group was going to be coming out with more material to go with their DVD project, Sevgili Murat, the Turkish Film project. http://www.nmelrc.org/index.php?module=pagemaster&PAGE_user_op=view_page&PAGE_id=8&MMN_position=35:34 LLTI-Editor.
