Title: More Suggestions for Teaching Young Learners
Body: Here are some fun games for children from a generous French teacher on the FLTEACH listserv. Again, although these were suggested for use in classes with younger learners, many of them may be appropriate for less inhibited adults... More of these to come next week! ---- Do TPR pretending to put on clothes. When you sing songs always have motions or gestures to go along with the words. That gives them something to do with their hands while singing, plus it helps them remember. Play la Professeur contre la classe (the teacher vs. the class). Hold up something (piece of clothing, picture of family member) and say a word in French. If it's the right word, they have to all repeat it for a point. If it's the wrong word, they have to be absolutely silent to get a point, otherwise you get the point. Tally up the points on a little paper or whiteboard and count them at the end. They will win by a mile and practice counting and love it. Play Hatschi Patschi. Sit in a circle, each kid on a little rug or an X made out of masking tape. There is one less spot than people (including you if you're going to play, or not including you if you're going to supervise). Ask each child the same question. Qu'est-ce que tu portes? They answer a piece of clothing. One child has secretly hidden a little card or toy that represents "Hatschi Patschi". When you ask that child the question (you don't know who it is) that child says Hatschi Patschi! Everyone must get up and find a new spot. The one who doesn't find a spot must go hide their eyes while the next Hatschi Patschi person is chosen. Then they have to come and ask everyone the question. (You can help them say the question until they get it.) And so on. This is a fun game you can do with any vocab and it helps in learning to ask questions as well & you can do it with or without props/cards. It's nice to start out with something easy like "Ca va?" Stop playing while they're still wanting more. Use this game as a reward because they love it. Play 4 corners. Put an object in each corner. Ccount to 10 in the middle of the room with eyes closed while the kids all choose a corner to stand in. Call one of the corners with eyes still shut. Those kids come and help you count in the middle. The other kids change corners as you count again. Continue until one person is left (or more if it takes too long). That person is the king or queen of something. Like the king of colors, or the queen of fruit, etc. Everyone bows and says "votre majesté". Allow no running. Once they get the hang of it, a kid in the middle can hide his eyes and call a corner. This is one of the best games for introducing new vocabulary. Do a cakewalk. Set out objects or pictures in a circle. The kids walk or hop or swim or whatever around them while music is playing. Say an object, and someone near it picks it up and holds it for the remainder. You can try to time it so everyone gets something. There are lots of variations possible. Margaret Kohler, M.J.

Title: New French-English Student Exchange Site
Body: I am looking for teachers of French here in the US and teachers of English in francophone countries to try out a new website. The idea of the website comes from a technology consultant in Georgia and we have been collaborating on this since March. We are both doing this in our free time and it is offered free of charge to any teachers. Le principe: a virtual classroom open to two classes - an American group learning French and a francophone group learning English. This classroom uses forums and blogs to stimulate the exchanges between students. In addition, it offers such features as a chat room, the possibility to upload images, documents, videos, sound files, etc. All of this in a secure environment since it is open only to the students YOU register in your class. Throughout the summer, online training will be available for interested teachers. You also have access to teacher forums to share your ideas on how best use this website. You bring your partner to the experience or post an announcement to find one. What got me interested in this? I love the idea of pen pals but each year, I face the same problems: finding a group with the same number of students, matching students in a satisfying manner, waiting for all students to turn in their letter for their pen pal... I have looked into other sites offering online exchange but they got stopped by my district's filter. So, I was very enthusiastic to start this venture. I already had a partner in Belgium interested in doing this and so it started. This allows my students to talk to all their Belgian counterparts, so no problem if the numbers don't match up and they all can find something in common with the other kids. Another big advantage is the possibility to create wikis (for those of you familiar with them). I'm looking forward to developing activities with them. So, if you are interested, please stop by our website at http://www.sitenous.com . Tzanetatos, A. Looking for French Teachers. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (23 June 2006).

Title: Meaningful English Reading for Learners of English
Body: A recent request on the TESL listserv for ways to make literature meaningful in an English classroom received the following helpful suggestion. If you want to bring meaning to the students' study of the language and you want to incorporate reading, find some modern novels that feature teens or characters in their 20s. At least the language will be contemporary and there is more of a chance the students will be interested in the story. You don't have to read teen romance pap. There is some excellent Young Adult (YA) fiction out there. You may even be able to find online teaching guides for some of most noteworthy. This is a link to the American Library Association page for book awards. http://www.ala.org/Template.cfm?Section=bookmediaawards . You can find titles and descriptions under "Young Adult" and "Newberry Awards." Spelleri, M. Re: How can I combine langauge teaching and literature.

Title: French Body Parts Practice

Title: New Culture Lessons Available Online
Body: A recent request for suggestions for incorporating culture into Spanish classes at the college level received the following reply. ---- We have recently been adding new topics to our "Cultural Notes" section. The latest are all accompanied by audio, and are on the whole quite compelling, I think. They are presented in both Spanish and English. The latest have two versions, a short version and a long version, and the long version is accompanied by comprehension questions, along with links to related sites. One possibility for using these is to intensively "teach" the short version, and then have the students listen to, and/or read the long version, and see how much they can understand. The complete list is located here: http://www.studyspanish.com/comps/index.htm . The latest all have the "loudspeaker icon" beside them. We have 40 more of these "in the can" and will be releasing them over the months to come. Ryan, K. Re: culture at the college level? Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv.

Title: Call for Papers: Spanish in the US
Body: From http://spanishintheus.org Founded in 1980, the Spanish in the US Conference brings together researchers from various disciplines such as linguistics, sociology, anthropology, education, and legal studies investigating a wide range of topics related to Spanish and Spanish-speaking communities in the United States. Since 1991, the Spanish in the US Conference has been held in conjunction with the Spanish in Contact with Other Languages Conference, allowing productive connections between researchers focusing on the US context and researchers investigating the entire Spanish-speaking world. In recent years, interest and participation have increased dramatically, thanks to both the growing public and scholarly recognition of Spanish-speaking communities in the United States. These two conferences will be held March 15-18, 2007 on the Arlington Virginia campus of George Mason University, approximately one mile from Washington DC, with easy Metro access to downtown Washington. Submissions are invited for papers on original, unpublished research on any area related to Spanish in the United States or Spanish in contact with other languages including but not limited tothe following: bilingualism, educational policies and practices, formal aspects of US Spanish, heritage language learning and teaching, language and identity, language and the law, language change, language contact, language ideologies, language in politics and politics of language, language maintenance, language planning, language policy, language rights, linguistic variation, mass media and Spanish, Spanish in the professions, and Spanish and the economy. Deadline: September 15, 2006. For more information, visit http://spanishintheus.org .

Body: From http://apling.public.iastate.edu/conf/tsll/2006 Technology for Second Language Learning (TSLL) 4th Annual Conference Learner Stategies in CALL Friday, September 22 and Saturday, September 23, 2006 Memorial Union, Iowa State University Keynote speakers Professor Andrew Cohen, University of Minnesota & Phil Hubbard, Stanford University The strategies that learners use to direct their second language learning are critical when students use multimedia CALL, the Internet and other electronic resources. These tools give students access to a large range of learning resources and opportunities, but for the most part leave learners on their own to decide how to best use them. How can teachers help to teach learners strategies for effective use of electronic materials for second language learning? What does theory, research and practice tell us about effective use of resources? Papers presented at this conference will address these questions by exploring the intersection between learner strategy training and CALL including implications for language classrooms, teacher education, materials development.
