Title: Reading Aloud to Your Students
Body: Did you know that last Thursday was Read Across America Day? This post to the FLTEACH listserv describes how one French teacher finds that her high school students seem to enjoy observing this day each year as she reads children's picture books to them. ---- I always take this day to read a book to my students!! They are high school students, but they love to sit on the floor in a circle like in grade school (and I never ask them to do this; they always ask if they can). Hey, in level one, they learn colors and numbers and lots of other little-kid things, so this is another. In case you wonder what I read, let me see... This year I'm reading Betty and Rita go to Paris to my level ones. This is a WONDERFUL book. http://www.janmag.com/artcult/bettyrita.html . I've made transparencies of the illustrations because it's too big a class to have them gather round and see it (but they still ask to sit on the floor). Im reading André François Villeneuve to level 2 (an old book, a classic story about the adventures of a dog who fights dragons, rescues a princess, etc. -- about on the level of Spot, Dick and Jane stories, with big pictures), Qu'est-ce qu'on dit, mon petit to the 3's, And Il pleut des hamburgers to the level 4/5 class. You should ALL try to read to your kids on Thursday. It's always really a good experience for all, and kids' books don't really take long to read. Blaz, D. Re: Teaching with big books.

Title: Activity for Practicing the Preterite
Body: A recent request on the FLTEACH listserv for an activity to practice the Spanish preterite which would be suitable for learners of diverse abilities received the following suggestion. ---- One activity is to write a letter and cut it into strips every few sentences. Students have to put the letter back together in the right order (using context clues) and then answer the questions about the contents of the letter. Use whatever vocabulary you are doing currently with the preterite and ask the questions in the preterite. I had a student teacher aide make several sets. Hagan, S.

Title: Language Acquisition & Bilingualism: 2006 Conference
Body: From http://www.psych.yorku.ca/labconference/index.html Language Acquisition and Bilingualism: Consequences for a Multilingual Society May 4 7, 2006 Venue: The Courtyard by Marriott Downtown,Toronto The conference will examine the impact of a multilingual environment on childrens linguistic development. Research on childrens language acquisition normally assumes that the environment offers only one linguistic choice and that childrens early experiences will proceed in a predictable manner as language is incrementally built up and cognition is increasingly boosted. In some countries, such as Canada , the existence of two official languages means that the linguistic context for language acquisition is more complex. The purpose of the conference is to explore how the factors that are part of the landscape of multilingual societies affect the way in which children learn language and establish the linguistic and cognitive concepts associated with successful participation in society. The conference will include presentations in 4 areas: - language acquisition in bilingual environments - cognitive implications of early bilingualism - bilingual language acquisition for special populations - bilingual development in different social contexts The audience will be researchers, educators, and practitioners who work with bilingual and multilingual children. The presentations will describe current research by leading scholars, representing a wide range of countries. For more information, visit http://www.psych.yorku.ca/labconference/index.html .
