Title: New Book Review: Teaching English to the World
Body: From http://linguistlist.org/issues/16/16-3452.html EDITOR: Braine, George TITLE: Teaching English to the World SUBTITLE: History, Curriculum, and Practice PUBLISHER: Lawrence Erlbaum Associates YEAR: 2005 Ingrid Piller, English Department, Basel University, Switzerland This book is a kind of reference to English teaching in a number of countries. The editor has collected 15 articles which are all structured in the same way. Each article begins with a brief introduction to the country, usually of a geographical, demographic or historic nature. This is followed by an historical account of English Language Teaching (ELT) in the country under discussion. The third section is devoted to the ELT curriculum in that country. The next main section is devoted to a biography of an English teacher in that country - in most cases the author's autobiography. Each paper ends with a short conclusion, mostly mentioning challenges or problems for ELT in the nation under discussion. Read the complete review at http://linguistlist.org/issues/16/16-3452.html .

Title: Songs for Learning Spanish-Speaking Countries
Body: A recent request on the FLTEACH listserv for songs which help students learn the names of Spanish-speaking countries received the following suggestions. ---- Tacos 2 has the song "Los Países Hispanos". Stavrou, M. Re: Spanish speaking countries song. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (22 Nov. 2005). ---- I am from Ecuador, and I remember a song that I used to sing on Columbus Day in school. The name of it is "Cantos a las America." It contains almost every Spanish speaking country. You can include Spain and Puerto Rico. It also mentions Canada and the United States, which I think is great because the Hispanic community is growing a lot in both countries. http://www.simon-bolivar.org/bolivar/canto_a_las_americas.html is the Web site, and it also has the music. If you have speakers, you will able to hear the music. Mieles, J. Re: Spanish speaking countries song. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (4 Dec. 2005).

Title: Chinese Character Database Project
Body: I'd like to point out a project that we here at Colby are working on, in conjunction with the LRC at the University of Connecticut. The Bihua Project (http://studio.colby.edu/chinese) is a free resource, a searchable database that returns links to quicktime movies demonstrating stroke order and native speaker pronunciation of hanzi characters. Our inventory is far from exhaustive, but it's growing. If you or your school is using Integrated Chinese as your primary text, you'll find that our inventory closely matches that of the IC text, and we are working on the ability to sort/search by IC chapter #. Unfortunately this project has lost some of its early momentum, largely due to demands on my time supporting other areas of the curriculum at my institution, but there is interest here in bringing it back to life. I should mention that Bihua is an open-content project, and we welcome co-developers. We give away for free all the content we have made, and reveal our methodology. Our developers page needs to be updated as we have streamlined a lot since then. One recent advance is that the bar for participation is lower: you need some student labor (native Chinese speakers), a Mac (OSX), and a Mimio board _or_ Wacom tablet. Any interested party can drop me an email offlist to join the project (zechandl@colby.edu). If we add another development partner, or get more vocal users (tell us what needs fixing), maybe we will get up the steam needed to get this project moving again.
