Title: Practicing Following Directions
Body: A couple of years ago I tried an activity where two students paired off and at random chose a card. Each card had directions for a particular place in the school (I teach in a big school). The students would go with their card, follow the directions, and return to my classroom after they found their destination. They had to let me know where they ended up and I would check my sheet and let them know if they were correct. I made about sixteen cards for students and numbered them. I had a sheet numbered with the correct destinations. For example: the cafeteria the auditorium the library the principal's office another teacher's room etc... Of course the kids would never see my paper. If they were correct they could grab another card. That particular year (all eighth graders) the students were pretty wild and unmotivated. I told them plainly that if I received one complaint from any teacher or anyone in the building the activity was over. I received one complaint and stuck to my consequences. I did this activity the day before spring break and most other teachers were showing movies. The kids were happy to move around instead of sitting for another forty minutes. It worked very well.

Title: Conversation Analysis & Language Learning Seminar
Body: From http://nflrc.hawaii.edu/prodev/si06c Seminar on Conversation Analysis L2 Learning as Discursive Practice University of Hawaii at Manoa, Honolulu, Hawaii August 7-11, 2006 Conversation Analysis (CA) is increasingly adopted to examine second language interactions as sites for and evidence of L2 learning as a discursive practice. The purpose of the seminar is to further advance this ongoing effort. Topics will include: - Interactional competence as resource and under construction - Interaction & cognition - Interaction & grammar - Interaction & learning - Membership categorization & social identity The seminar does NOT offer an introduction to CA. Rather, it addresses itself to researchers with a background in CA whose work focuses on, or includes, CA as an approach to L2 learning. We hope to welcome veteran CA analysts as well as graduate students with relevant training. Selected participants are encouraged to contribute data to data sessions and give informal presentations on their work-in-progress on a seminar topic. We plan to publish an edited collection of reports from the seminar as a volume in the new NFLRC series Pragmatics & Interaction. Invited seminar leaders: Gabriele Pallotti, University of Modena and Reggio Emilia Johannes Wagner, University of Southern Denmark Registration deadline: April 30, 2006 For more information, visit http://nflrc.hawaii.edu/prodev/si06c
