Title: French Songs for Days of the Week
Body: The following suggestions were recently posted to the FLTEACH listserv in response to a request for a French rap for teaching the days of the week. ---- "Poutine... Fries with an Attitude" (CD) has a good one -- it's not rap but it's really cute and catchy. Lescourret, D. Re: French rap song for days of the week. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (2 Nov. 2005). ---- Etienne has a version that uses the Flintstone's theme. My elementary French students enjoy it. The chorus is simple enough for lower elementary students. The verses are a little more of a challenge, but fun for middle to upper elementary students. I got the CDs through Educorock. Their web address is: http://www.educorock.com/ . "Les 7 Jours de la Semaine" is on the CD "Chez Moi." Hecker, R. Re: French rap song for days of the week. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (2 Nov. 2005). ---- It's not a rap song, but my elementary students like the traditional French children's song "Lundi matin." It's available on many compilation CDs as well as on iTunes. Harington, C. Re: French rap song for days of the week. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (2 Nov. 2005). ---- High school kids like it too, especially with the gestures!! It's also on momes.net ( http://www.momes.net/comptines/illustrationscompt/lundimatin.html ). Blaz, D. Re: French rap song for days of the week. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (2 Nov. 2005). ---- This isn't rap, but I use it with 6th graders and they like it because they don't have to learn a new melody, just the lyrics (vocab). I write a lot of songs, but this is one I obviously didn't write. To the tune of "Mary Had a Little Lamb" lundi, mardi, mercredi, mercredi, mercredi jeudi et vendredi, samedi et dimanche Pabst, R.

Title: Kentucky Considers Foreign Language Mandate
Body: Kentucky only requires students to study a foreign language if they plan to go to a state university or want to graduate with honors. The state Board of Education is mulling over a proposal to require all public high school students to demonstrate proficiency before graduating, but critics worry that more effort should be directed toward other concerns, such as first-language literacy.

Title: Difficulty of UK Test Criticized by Teachers
Body: As of November 1, 2005, immigrants to the United Kingdom are required to pass an examination which measures not only language proficiency but also awareness of life in the UK. Teachers are concerned that the test is too hard, complaining that even they were hard-pressed to answer some of the questions.
