Title: Chloé ou Les aventures d'une Parisienne
Body: The site mentioned here features readings, audio, and learning activities based on stories about a young French woman living in Paris. ---- My French III class read Chloé ou Les aventures d'une Parisienne this year and they loved it! We read it mostly for the listening comprehension portion, learning new/commonly-used French vocabulary, French culture, and simply for pleasure and interest in the language! I highly recommend it! http://www.ur.se/chloe/frame Perrotta, D. Chloé ou Les aventures d'une Parisienne. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (4 May 2006).

Title: Spanish-Speaking Capitals Songs
Body: Recently several teachers posted to the FLTEACH listserv about how much their students enjoyed songs which teach the names of the capitals of Spanish-speaking countries. One such song is available at http://www.color-connection.com/Catalog/MainCatalog.htm ; read on for information about another. ---- My students loved this song too. Sometimes at the end of class I would say one of the capitals at random and students would shout out the country. I did this with the freshmen. I had teachers who then got these students as seniors and told me they were amazed that these students still retained the capitals and respective countries in their heads after three years. The power of songs/music/rhythm is nothing short of amazing. May, J. Re: capitals rap (Spanish) - ideas for the song. ---- There is another song, "Himno de Las Americas", which has the names of Latin American countries. You can find the lyrics at http://www.musicaperuana.com/letrasx/americas.txt . You can download a free (legal) MP3 from the Radio Atlas website: http://www.atlasdeladiversidad.net/jsp/radio_15.jsp Scroll down to where it says "4.- Himno de las Americas. Cantado por el coro de primero y segundo grado del Emil Friedman de Venezuela". Perez, R. Re: capitals rap (Spanish). Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv.

Title: Spanish Activity: Direct Object Pronouns
Body: I'll share a really simple/fun idea that worked well for DOPs. I had each student select 5 items from a list of vocab words (all nouns). They then had to find other students who wrote down the same items on their lists by asking "?Tienes _____?" The response would be “Si, lo/la/los/las tengo” or “No, no ___ tengo...” Once they got all the items on their list, they found me and said "las tengo", and they won a prize. They loved this.

Title: Recommended English Readers for Adult Learners
Body: Penguin Graded Readers have adult titles such as Gladiator and Braveheart. You might want to have a look at the novels of John Grisham -- The Firm, The Client, for example. They have exciting plots, but incredibly simple language. In our program the low intermediate students read the Penguin readers, the high-intermediate students read Grisham at the beginning of their semester. Snoke, J. Re: Graded readers for adults. Teachers of English to speakers of other languages electronic list. TESL-L@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU (3 May 2006). ---- Are you familiar with "Kids Discover" magazine? It's very high-interest, high quality earth/physical science, history/archaeology, engineering/architecture magazine. The photos are spectacular, the articles often have glossed vocabulary, and it is very multi-national in scope. The word "kids" on the cover is written very small and the topic of that magazine issue, for example "Pyramids" takes the focus, so your adult learners will hopefully not be offended by the intended audience. Its on-line readability list shows that the articles are at U.S. 3rd-6th grade basal reading level. In addition, check out the publisher "New Readers Press" which specializes in adult literacy and has high-interest, low-level titles for adults. Spelleri, M. Re: Graded readers for adults.

Title: Songs in the English Classroom
Body: I just found a great site for ESL teachers, called Teaching with Songs. It has activities for current, popular music. http://www.isabelperez.com/songs.htm Larsen, B. ESL site: Teaching with Songs. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (12 Apr. 2003). ---- There is one from U2: “I still haven’t found what I’m looking for”. It’s perfect to teach and work with present perfect. It shows the idea of the structure, it permits us to teach the formula (subject + have/has + past participle). It’s in the negative! And besides, U2 is a very famous band, adults and teenagers like them. It’s a great option. Sousa, E. Re: Learning with songs. Teachers of English to speakers of other languages electronic list. TESL-L@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU (2 May 2006). ---- Check out http://www.musicalenglishlessons.org . It identifies the grammar feature for the song and has pre-written activies you can use. Bibi Baxter has also written instructions on how to create your own worksheets, based on the lyrics of songs. Lisher, L. song lyrics and grammar.
