Title: Tips for Parents and Students
Body: In a recent discussion on the FLTEACH listserv of how parents of foreign language students can help their children succeed, the following Web site and homework tip were posted. These suggestions may be useful for learners of any age who are unsure of how to study on their own or with others. HOW TO LEARN A FOREIGN LANGUAGE http://www.themaxfacts.com/shareddocs/studytips.html ---- I've told parents that they don't have to know the Spanish language in order to be able to help their children. In order to review grammar, the parent can say the word in English and have the child give them the word in Spanish. The parent should be able to tell immediately whether or not the child knows that vocab word. Also, I've told the parents to have their children try to explain the grammar concepts to them; after all, in order to be able to explain something, you must "own" it first. Kotecki, J. Re: Advice to parents- How to help students in FL classes. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (14 July 2006).

Title: Resources for Teaching about German Festivals
Body: Here are some ideas for preparing hands-on activities about German holidays. If you're looking for decorating advice for your classroom or if you want to get your students involved, you may find some helpful tips here. German Festivals and Celebrations http://www.billanookps.vic.edu.au/German/Resi.htm ---- I have really enjoyed having this site as a resource. Since I am "craft disabled", it is a relief to me to be able to do the crafts she has. I have used her crafts with my exploratory classes. The instructions are easy to give (in German), the projects can be done in a class period, and they make nice classroom decorations or presents for Mom. I make her star craft at Christmas time. It's a big hit with the students. I enlarge the stars to make different sizes. Leu, B. [AATG-L] Resi Schwarzbauer's German Festival site. American Association of Teachers of German listserv.
