Title: Business English Resources
Body: I have put together a web site for my Business English students and thought I would share it: http://web.cortland.edu/ponterior/english/reading.html It points to some good online business news sources and suggests things that students can do on their own to improve their reading proficiency. The basic ideas, of course, should be useful for any language. Ponterio, B. Business English reading online. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (1 April 2005).

Title: Family Tree Activities
Body: The following ideas were posted to the FLTEACH listserv during a recent discussion on how to design a family tree activity with sensitivity regarding students who may not feel comfortable talking about their families. ---- Family trees can be cartoon characters, different kinds of cars, superheroes, and do not need to reflect the student's actual family at all. The point is to learn the different possible family members. Some kids want to talk about their own and use actual photographs, and that may horrify others, but it all depends on how you present the project. When we do this project, I like to encourage kids to create their own imaginary family (would you like to have Johnny Depp or Carmen Diaz as your older brother/sister/cousin? Does Uncle Fester from the Addams Family sound like a good relative to have? Maybe 50 cent is your dad.) There are a lot of ways around one's own family problems, and I can relate. As a child, mine would have been problematic, too. Twedt, L. Re: family trees. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (25 Sept. 2005). ---- I did something very similar to this--gave the kids magazines to find pictures of people to use--and the kids loved being able to choose their own relatives. Pongracic, C. Re: family trees. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (25 Sept. 2005). ---- Just keep them away from the National Geographics! I once had a student use "natives" to represent his mother and grandmother. Luckily, the students had a good sense of humor. Freeman, M.A. Re: family trees. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (26 Sept. 2005).

Title: Job Posting: HS ELL Teacher, WI
Body: The high school where I teach German has an immediate opening for an ELL (was ESL or English as a Second Language Teacher) teacher. Most of the students are level 1, many of the students are Hmong speakers, recently arrived from southeast Asia. There may be some Spanish-speaking kids too, and maybe a few other languages represented. In any case, if you are interested, or know of a candidate who'd like to start teaching in northeastern Wisconsin...tomorrow....please contact the associate principal Dave Pynenberg at Appleton North High School: PYNENBERGDAVID@aasd.k12.wi.us Despres-Berry, B.

Title: Texas Bilingual Preschool Boom
Body: Enrollment in state-funded bilingual preschool programs in Texas has increased 60% in six years. Many districts are struggling to fill teaching positions, while student waiting lists grow. Some of the strongest growth is in areas which until recently saw little demand for such classes.

Title: Games for Beginning Learners
Body: The creators of the Guess Who? game (popular with first level language learners to practice descriptive adjectives) have developed a Guess Where? game. It involves basic members of the family and rooms of the house. With some adaptations (notably, changing the labels on the game to reflect the TL terminology), the game would be fun for beginning learners. Toys R Us has a current offer with a package of both Guess Who? and Guess Where? that saves you approximately 5 dollars. Bove, B.N. Guess where? game. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv.

Title: Uwe Kind in New Jersey
Body: I am in the last stages of hiring Uwe Kind for a concert at Newton High Schoolin, Newton, Sussex County, NJ on Dec. 1, 2005, most likely. This is our German contribution to the Year of Languages 2005 at our school. Uwe has asked me whether to put on a workshop for German teachers as well which would be held in the afternoon that day. We are a very small German department and would need participants (German teachers) from other schools in the area, i.e. Sussex, Warren, Hunterdon, Morris Counties, or even Western PA etc. The Goethe House NYC would then sponsor the workshop and thus the workshop fee would be greatly reduced; I am guessing around $20 per person depending on the number of participants. Anyone who is interested in either the workshop or in taking their students to the concert, please e-mail me off-list a.s.a.p. so that I can let Uwe know whether there is enough interest in a workshop. I am very excited to be able to have him perform and am hoping that I will get some response from you "out there"!! Hannig-Eisenberger, P. [AATG-L] Uwe Kind Workshop/Concert in NJ.

Title: Open a German Immersion Cafe at Your School
Body: This is an idea that is going over so well I thought I would share it. Every two weeks, I am inviting students to come to my trailer (my classroom is being renovated) after school for a German Immersion Café. I bought a 60-cup coffee maker (Office Depot) with our German Honor Society funds, and then I e-mailed all parents, asking them to donate packets of beverages, cups, stirrers, etc. for our café. The response has been incredible, with parents donating hot chocolate, instant cider, cappuccino, cups, and everything we need and more. Some want to come to practice their German even though they haven't had it since high school! The German exchange students will be coming too. I hope to get a good group out every two weeks. Once we get all the supplies, I'll invite students to come with the requirement that they speak German while they are at the café. The lower level kids will do mostly listening, but at least they are getting more exposure to the language. Williams, R. [AATG-L] German immersion cafe. American Association of Teachers of German listserv. AATG@listserv.iupui.edu (4 Oct. 2005). ---- I have a small program at my school and am concerned that my students don't have friends to practice vocabulary or study with, especially in the tender first semester of German study. So I am starting a German Study Club. Our school has built in time (twice a week) that students can go to their teachers for tutoring or make up work. I am going to put in a hot water dispenser and supply the hot chocolate, students can have the free hot stuff if they a) bring their own mug to hang on the wall, a la a German Kneipe, and stay for at least 20 minutes to do practice or conversation in German during one of these 'Access' periods.
