Title: Number Activity for Any Level, Any Language
Body: Get yourself a children's dot-to-dot activity book. Pick a couple of pictures. White out the numbers and add your own. Make them random, and add similar numbers around the one needed to draw the picture. For example, put 60, 66, 16, & 76 all within the same vicinity. Scatter other numbers around the picture so it's not obvious where to go. Very important: As you add the numbers needed to create the design, keep yourself a list in order. Label one picture A & the other B. At the bottom of A, put the number sequence necessary to draw picture B, and on the bottom of B, the sequence necessary to draw picture A. Pass out an A & B sheet to each 2 partners. A reads the number sequence on the bottom of her sheet, while partner B draws lines on her sheet from the numbers A is reading; then they switch roles. It's fun; it's noisy because half the class is talking at the same time, and it's easy to see if the students have said correctly & understood the numbers, based on what the final picture looks like. It takes a few minutes to create these sheets, but then you have them for years. Plus because they are not language specific, you can share/switch them with all your language colleagues. Howard, S. Great activity for practicing numbers. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (10 Sept. 2005).

Title: More Ideas for Extra Class Time
Body: Here are some more activities to keep in mind for those times when your class finishes early. This week's ideas require no preparation ahead of time. ---- I write a word on a piece of paper and they have to guess the word. I give them the category: Colors, Animals, Adjectives, Vegetables, Fruits, Furniture, etc. Sometimes I help them: It's a word that starts with an "a," has 9 letters, and ends with an "a." Olivos, H. Re: What to do when you finish early. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (23 Jan. 2006). ---- About 3-4 minutes before the bell rings, I tell them to pack their stuff up. I tell them to stand, push their chairs in, pick up any trash around them.... Then, once the housekeeping is done, for the last 2 minutes of class we do a "sponge" activity like many of you have suggested. (Word train, etc). Sometimes I would ask questions about that day's lesson, and whomever answered correctly could stand by the door and leave first. Sometimes we would do math arithmetic (dos mas quince menos siete, etc).. Just google "sponge activities" and you'll get enough! Then, I taught my students when the bell rings, they wait a second, and I dismiss them, and they're off! They love it because they know they get to leave when the bell rings, they don't have to hurriedly pack their stuff up and rush off; I like it because I don't have to battle with the students to not pack their stuff up before the bell rings, my classroom stays neater with them pushing their chairs in, straightening tables, picking up trash. I also like it because it's just a very calm, structured way to end the class - - my principals were always impressed! Walker, A. One of my favorite tips: used to be "What to do when you finish early". FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (26 Jan. 2006).

Title: 2nd Symposium on Portuguese for Spanish Speakers
Body: From http://www.stanford.edu/dept/lc/portuguese/index.htm March 17-19, 2006 Stanford University Welcome to the Web Site for the 2nd Symposium on Portuguese for Spanish Speakers: Acquisition and Teaching! Portuguese for Spanish Speakers is the fastest growing field in the teaching of Portuguese, both in the United States and abroad, and has been the subject of an increasing number of publications and conference presentations. It is, however, far from possessing an established and unified body of knowledge based on research. Aiming to start mapping this body of knowledge, the First Symposium on Portuguese for Spanish Speakers took place from March 21-23, 2003, at the University of Arizona, in Tucson. Two years later, the time has come to meet again. The goal of the Second Symposium on Portuguese for Spanish Speakers: Acquisition and Teaching is to give scholars in field an opportunity to come together to continue to work on the development of a organized body of knowledge on the acquisition of Portuguese by speakers of Spanish and to generate a coherent and successful approach to the teaching of Portuguese to this population. For more information, visit http://www.stanford.edu/dept/lc/portuguese/index.htm .
