Title: More Animal Activities
Body: Here are some more animal-themed sites and activities recently suggested on the FLTEACH listserv. These can be used with learners of any language. They may be most appropriate for younger learners, but some come from high school teachers. bzzzpeek -- recordings of children in various countries making animal sounds http://www.flat33.com/bzzzpeek/index1.html Sounds of the Worlds Animals -- photos and soundfiles http://www.georgetown.edu/faculty/ballc/animals Brief article on animal sounds around the world http://www.gbarto.com/languages/animasounds.html ---- You can play individual animal sounds and ask the kids what the animal is; they respond in Spanish. I have also played a type of "blind man's bluff" where each student receives a card with an animal on it. You need to have at least two of the same animal, and they don't share what animal they are. Make sure you clear the room of desks, chairs, etc. They are blindfolded and have to make their animal noise until they find their partner. Charades are also good, as is a game of what do you see at the zoo or I am going to the zoo and I am bringing... Kent, K. Re: Teaching animals... Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (3 Apr. 2006). ---- I just did a mini-unit on animals with my 1st years. I have an interesting website with animal sounds that you could use. Basically, it is about what sounds animals make according to the language the people speak. For example, American cows say "Moo" while French cows say "Meuh". It's a great discussion on how animals make the same sounds no matter where you are. It's the language that changes the interpretation of those sounds. Another thing that I've done in this unit is to show two French music videos from TF1, "Un Monde Parfait" and the current "Papa Pingouin". With "Un Monde Parfait" you could have the kids name what animals they see. With "Papa Pingouin" (the preferred one for my kids) you can have them describe in simple sentences what activities are going on in the video. My kids actually learned the cute little dance on their own because they loved the video so much. (These are 15/16 yr olds!) I've also had them make up children's books (colors, numbers, letters). Doerner, J. Re: Teaching animals... Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (4 Apr. 2006). ---- We sang "Old McDonald" in French using each of the animals we were learning and the noises they make: Vieux McDonald a une ferme E I E I O (letters pronounced in a French accent) et dans la ferme il a une vache E I E I O avec meuh meuh ici et meuh meuh là-bas etc. It was a lot of fun, reinforced the animal vocabulary, and helped students to learn the noises they make.

Title: 'Living Sentences' Gets Students Moving
Body: This activity, recently submitted to the FLTEACH listserv by a French teacher, may be useful in classes of various languages and levels with students struggling to understand word order. ---- Thank you, Todd Bowen and Paul Weil! They taught me a great activity called "Phrases vivantes" or "Living Sentences". You give the kids cards with the subjects, verb stems, verb endings, and other words in the sentence. You call out a sentence in English and then go from there. The kids form the sentence and then you can change it as you wish. The kids "push each other out of the way in order to show how the sentence changes. I love using it in French when we start conjugating verbs and when we use irregular verbs and compound tenses. This one is especially useful for passé composé with être. Its also good for direct objects, indirect objects, etc. Kids have told me that it helped them become better at writing and at knowing where to place things. Each student gets one card. One student gets "Je, then another one gets "regard". Others get "-e", "la", "télé", Tu", "-s", and Luc. Then you call out "I watch TV." The kids go up and form the sentence "Je regarde la télé." For speaking practice, have a kid in the class who is not up there read the sentence. Then say, What If I want to say "Luc is watching TV" or "Luc watches TV"? The kid with "Luc" has to go up and replace the Je. Have another kid read the sentence for speaking practice. Then say, What about "You are watching TV"? The kid with Tu and the one with the -s go up... Have the kids in the rest of the class decide if the sentence is a good one. Have another one read the cards, etc. It's a great "keep 'em on their toes" activity. Levasseur, M.A. Re: ideas for hands-on verb practice. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv.

Title: U.S. and China Announce Language Initiative
Body: Last Wednesday an agreement was signed by the director-general of China's National Office for Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language and the president of the College Board of the United States which addresses the need for more Chinese programs, teachers, materials, and professional development opportunities in the US.
