Title: New Book: Linguistic Landscapes
Body: LINGUISTIC LANDSCAPES A Comparative Study of Urban Multilingualism in Tokyo Peter Backhaus German Institute for Japanese Studies “In this study of the linguistic landscape of Tokyo, Peter Backhaus clearly demonstrates that Japan is not as linguistically homogeneous as is commonly thought. His fascinating account is based on a large empirical database of multilingual signs He describes in detail the increasing importance of English as well as other languages. His book proves that the study of the linguistic landscape is a valuable new development in the analysis of multilingualism around the world. Durk Gorter, Professor of Frisian sociolinguistics, Universiteit van Amsterdam/Fryske Akademy Linguistic Landscapes is the first comprehensive approach to language on signs. It provides an up-to-date review of previous research, introduces a coherent analytical framework, and applies this framework to a sample of signs collected in Tokyo. Linguistic Landscapes demonstrates that the study of language on signs provides a unique research perspective to urban multilingualism. King, K. New book by Peter Backhaus, Linguistic Landscapes.

Title: Ideas for Practicing Physical Descriptions
Body: One thing I've done this year is have the students cut out people from magazines and use some of the description words to describe them. That way, they use the vocabulary as well as make sure the adjectives agree with the person in the picture. I also gave them the option of drawing someone. You might have them bring in pictures from home with family members or friends if you want. In Español 1 the book suggests doing a fashion show with cooperative groups. That might add some variety to your class also. Hanson, D. Re: clothes, colors, personal characteristics (en espanol 1.2). Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (17 Oct. 2006). ---- Another idea for physical descriptions is to put names of famous people in a hat. Ideas are Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Chelsea Clinton, Brad Pitt, Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Osama bin Laden, Britney Spears or even Santa Claus. Students go up to the front, pull out a name, and describe the person to the rest of the class. Whoever guesses correctly gets to go up next. Students really enjoy this! Haak, R. Re: clothes, colors, personal characteristics. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (18 Oct. 2006).

Title: Ideas for Guest Speaker Visits
Body: I give extra credit points for active participation. My students usually have more than enough questions when I have speakers. I just make a photocopy of my seating chart and then each time a kid asks a question I put a little check next to their name. My speakers rarely have enough time to answer all the questions. Flaskrud, P. Re: Guest speaker ideas. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (25 Oct. 2006). ---- I go a step further and have them write the question(s) down on a note card that they turn into me, and then I review them and add secondary questions as well that they could ask. I also have my students practice writing a thank-you letter to the speaker in which they have to say what was one thing they learned from having this speaker, a comment or story that they liked, and a personal connection they made with the speaker's message. Not only is it a reflection for the students to think about what was said, it is also a wonderful gift to give your speaker. Hagemeier, L. Re: Guest speaker ideas. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (25 Oct. 2006).
