Title: Ideas for Practicing Numbers
Body: A recent request on the FLTEACH listserv for activity ideas using numbers received many good suggestions. The ideas below may be useful for very basic practice with beginners. ---- When I teach numbers (to adults), I use games a lot. We play Bingo, Snakes & Ladders and a Steeplechase game. I carry game boards on laminated cardstock. They fit easily in my binder. I bought 10 sided dice from a games store. My students have so much fun (acting like kids). They get competitive and focus on winning. For them, it feels like the accidentally learned numbers while fooling around with cards and dice. Bingo is great for listening practice. I do that first. I made my own blank cards. They write in their own random numbers (first column anything from 1-20, 2nd 21-40 etc., up to 100). I got a random number generator for my Palm PDA to call out the numbers, but you could use 10 sided dice (less than $4.00 CAN). With Snakes & Ladders, my students count each move and then announce the number of the square they land on. Steeplechase is similar. I also use flash cards made for primary school children. They each read three cards to the person next to them. This lets them practice both speaking and listening. If the accuracy is poor, they find out right away. We keep doing this until the accuracy is pretty good. I follow up with number based topics to reinforce the new vocabulary (telling time, prices, reading menus etc.). Swayne, K. Re: Italian - Teaching numbers. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (31 Oct. 2005). ---- The kids always know the "famous" phone numbers that are particular to the area in which they live, such as the local pizza parlor, the school, the attorneys on tv, the local car dealers, the emergency numbers, operators, etc. They have fun guessing which number their classmate is saying. I have them tell me the numbers in the target language and the others have to guess what it is. Most times they all know the local numbers! L. Re: Teaching numbers. Re: Italian - Teaching numbers.

Title: Immigrant Children Lacking Early Education Opportunities
Body: A quarter of children under age 6 in the U.S. are children of immigrants, and more than half of these are from poor families. While many middle- and upper-class Americans assume that preschool attendance is the norm, many families cannot afford to place their children in early education programs which can reduce the need for special education and increase chances of graduating from high school. This Christian Science Monitor commentary describes the benefits of government-funded programs, already in existence in a few states, which are linked with the public education system. http://search.csmonitor.com/search_content/1107/p09s01-coop.html

Title: Arizona's English Language Learners Struggle to Graduate
Body: High school students in Arizona who are learning English are joining their peers in other states who may only graduate after passing tests written in English. Even students in advanced English courses grapple with the possibility of being held back as they try to master content such as math and biology as well as the language in which those classes are taught. Several states allow students to take exams in their native languages. A lawsuit currently pending in Arizona would exempt thousands of students from passing the English-only exam, charging the state with inadequately preparing its English language learners.

Title: REALIA Project Seeks Contributors
Body: The REALIA Project (http://www.realiaproject.org) is actively seeking contributions of image collections by faculty and faculty/student collaborations to support the teaching of language and culture based in the following languages: Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Russian, and Spanish. The National Endowment for the Humanities has provided a three-year grant to the National Institute for Technology and Liberal Education (NITLE) to enable The REALIA Project to transform its prototype REALIA collection into a sustainable online archive of royalty-free materials for teaching foreign languages and cultures. The collection focuses on digitized realia (objects that convey the essence of a culture) and serves a wide population of foreign language instructors and learners. This searchable collection, launched in 2001, contains images with accurate English and vernacular descriptions, cultural commentary, and suggested pedagogical applications from faculty contributors. Images and descriptions are reviewed by peer seven editorial boards with members from more than 16 liberal arts colleges and universities. Metadata for each image are enhanced by library catalogers. If you are interested in contributing to this project or are in contact with faculty who may have collections to contribute, please contact Alan Boyd, Managing Board Coordinator, (alan.boyd@oberlin.edu) or visit our website: http://www.realiaproject.org for more information making a submission.
