Title: Call for Reports: Language Preservation Projects
Body: Please allow me to bring to your attention once more the ongoing Call for Submissions to the 'Register of Good Practices in Language Preservation,' a database project that was launched by UNESCO's Endangered Languages Programme in the summer of 2005 (www.unesco.org/culture/endangeredlanguages/goodpractices). The purpose of this Register is to collect and make accessible experience reports concerning any kind of language preservation effort, from speaker communities, governmental and non-governmental organizations, academic experts, etc. Our goal is to provide a free online practice-based source of information as an aid and encouragement for future language preservation projects. To this end, I would like to invite you to submit any language preservation-related projects that you or your organization are / have been involved in to our Register, in order to share the knowledge and experience gained with other current and future project agents. Please consult our website (www.unesco.org/culture/endangeredlanguages/goodpractices) for further information about the Register, as well as to download the Register submission form for entries; or contact me at the E mail address given below for any questions.

Title: New Edition: Formal Spoken Arabic
Body: From http://linguistlist.org/issues/16/16-3596.html Title: Formal Spoken Arabic Basic Course w/MP3 files, 2nd Edition Series Title: Georgetown Classics in Arabic Language and Linguistics Series Published: 2005 Publisher: Georgetown University Press http://www.press.georgetown.edu Book URL: http://press.georgetown.edu/detail.html?id=1589011066 Author: Karin C. Ryding, Georgetown University Author: David Mehall, University of Maryland Paperback: ISBN: 1589010604 Pages: 400 Price: U.S. $ 39.95 Comment: w/MP3 Files Abstract: This new edition, updated and with additional exercises, equips those who work, travel, and study in Arab countries with an educated form of spoken Arabic that functions flexibly in the face of various regional colloquial variants in the Arab world. Because the Arabic language has a number of very different spoken vernaculars, being able to speak and be understood in all Arab countries has become a challenge for English speakers. Ryding and Mehall have designed a course that teaches a standardized variant of spoken Arabic that is close to, but more natural than, the literary Modern Standard Arabic. Not intended for self-instruction for beginners, Formal Spoken Arabic Basic Course with MP3 Files assumes some previous knowledge of Modern Standard Arabic, Arabic script and phonology, and previous or simultaneous instruction in orthography. This new edition includes a CD of MP3 audio exercises that are keyed to the text and drill students on listening and speaking.

Title: Authentic Web-based Listening for Young Learners of English
Body: I'd like to recommendYouth Radio at http://www.youthradio.org/indexx.shtml. The site is produced by young Americans under the direction of media professionals. It contains hundreds of listening clips, with scripts, in categories including Arts & Entertainment, Education, Environmental, Health, International, Jobs & Money, Lifestyle, Politics, Relationships, Society, Sports, and more. There is also a Podcast option. Many of the contributors are immigrant teenagers, which makes the content especially interesting to ESL/EFL users. Of course the segments are not written for L2 learners, so the level is rather high, but some segments are short and easy enough that you could use them as is with intermediate-level learners.

Title: Teaching Tu Commands in Spanish
Body: A recent request on the FLTEACH listserv for activities for teaching the affirmative 'tu' command form in Spanish received the following suggestions. ---- My favorite has always been the "blindfold game" ("buscadulces"), although due to its nature I would never force a student to participate against his/her will. I hide a piece of candy or other goody somewhere in the classroom while the student subject is out of the room getting blindfolded by a classmate. The student re-enters, and the rest of the class gives him commands directeing him/her to the "treasure", with the one classmate staying with the "blindfoldee" to make sure (s)he doesn't bump into anyone or anything. Amdur, J. Re: Teaching the affirmative tu commands. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (7 Dec. 2005). ---- My informal command irregular song is to the tune of "10 Little Indians": haz pon ten ven se sal di ve (1 little 2 little 3 little Indians) haz pon ten ven se sal di ve (4 little 5 little 6 little Indians) haz pon ten ven se sal di ve (7 little 8 little 9 little Indians) si si si si si (10 little Indian boys) You can do the negatives as well: no hagas no pongas no tengas no vengas no seas no salgas no digas no vayas no hagas no pongas no tengas no vengas no seas no salgas no digas no vayas no no no no no Gates, N.
