Title: Commands in Spanish
Body: A recent request on the FLTEACH listserv for activities for teaching commands in Spanish received the following suggestions: Songs: --- I use the song "Provócame" by Chayanne. Graham, D. Re: Commands. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (7 Jan. 2006). --- Here are some songs that come to mind to teach commands: No me ames (Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony) Salta (Amaral) Dígale (David Bisbal) Otro día más sin verte (Jon Secada) Pop (La oreja de Van Gogh)... good song for contrasting presente tense (tu form) with the informal command Watson, G. Re: commands songs. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (1 Nov. 2006). --- Atrévete by Calle 13 has a bunch of tú commands. Wilson, S. Re: commands songs. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (1 Nov. 2006). Activities: --- After teaching commands, I had students write down commands for a scavenger hunt around the school. The next day they placed sticky notes around the school and the sheets of commands were exchanged with another group. So then, not only were they able to write commands they were also able to read them and act on them. Depending on your school size and how well-behaved your students are, this may be an activity you do outside in a gym, or just in your classroom. Haak, R. Re: Commands. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (9 Nov. 2006). --- 1. Play Simon Says or "Diego Dice." The teacher can do it first, and then have the students form groups and one student in the group gives commands while the others physically respond. 2. Have the students write down directions on how to make something or give directions on how to get to their house from the school. Then, those students are paired up with others. They read their list to the other student and that other students traces with their finger how to get to that person's house from the school on a generic city map. You could also create info gap activities where the students give each other directions in Spanish on how to complete some classroom task. Hanson, D. Re: Commands. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (9 Nov. 2006). --- When I was at the OFLA Convention last spring, I heard an idea about using Spanish exercise videos, which of course would have lots of Spanish commands in combination with physical movement. Calco, M. Re: Commands. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (9 Nov. 2006). --- After we have practiced commands a bit, we do a skit called "El Ángel y el Diablo.” There are three kids in each group. One is the angel and one is the devil and one is the student. I have devil horns (all sequins) and angel halo (tinsel) and angle wings which slip on with eleastic. This is a short skit. The student makes a statement such as "No quiero hacer mi tarea esta noche." Then the devil and the angel give advice in the tú command forms. They may also add a short comment so an example might be (in Spanish of course) - Don't do the homework, Sra. will never check it tomorrow. Angel - Do the homework, if Sra. doesn't check it, there will surely be in a test soon. etc. I have a rubric which I pass out so they can see what they will be graded on and I grade them right while they are presenting the dialogo.

Title: Dancing with Words: Strategies for Learning Pragmatics in Spanish
Body: From Dancing with Words, http://www.carla.umn.edu/speechacts/sp_pragmatics/home.html The Dancing with Words website was designed as a “self-access” website for students to learn Spanish Pragmatics independently. The website is also a great tool for teachers to learn more about pragmatics themselves and get ideas for how to add more pragmatics to their classroom instruction, through a combination of independent work by students and in-class activities and discussion. The website contains a total of nine modules. Supplementary information has also been incorporated throughout the website. The modules available are: *Introduction to Pragmatics (to be completed before any of the other modules) *Compliments and Compliment Responses *Gratitude & Leave Taking *Requests *Apologies *Invitations *Service Encounters *Advice, Suggestions, Disagreements, and Reprimands *Considerations for Pragmatic Performance (a reference module) The content within each module varies based on the empirical research available; however, each unit consists of six basic sections: 1) Introduction to the communicative act, 2) Interaction with the communicative acts, 3) Presentation of pragmatic strategies specific to each communicative act, 4) Exploration of social factors, 5) Navigation of language variation, and 6) Summary. You can visit the Dances with Words site at http://www.carla.umn.edu/speechacts/sp_pragmatics/home.html .

Title: What to Do with Songs, Part 2
Body: What to Do with Songs, Part 2: Highlighting Grammar and New Vocabulary This is just what we do before reading any new piece--poem, news article, short story, recipe. Most of the time this comes AFTER the listening activities posted last week. Decide ahead of time which grammar items need to be pre-taught, especially if they are new grammar. Obviously you can choose to remind about past grammar items, too. Present all new vocabulary. Have students scan certain songs for any cognates or any derivatives of known vocabulary and try to guess the meaning. Compliment all serious attempts to guess even where wrong. Even adults I teach will make mistakes like saying "descubridor" means discovery--until they get a good handle on suffixes; so I like to tell them that they're really close and remind them that it takes a while to recognize suffixes and use them accurately. Coming next week, Part 3: Treating Songs as Literature Barabe, B. WHAT TO DO WITH SONGS. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (4 Nov. 2006).

Title: New Book: Theories in Second Language Acquisition
Body: From http://linguistlist.org/issues/17/17-3405.html Theories in Second Language Acquisition: An Introduction Edited by Bill VanPatten and Jessica Williams Theories in Second Language Acquisition surveys the major theoretical approaches currently used in second language acquisition (SLA) research, providing a systematic and coherent presentation in a single source. Each chapter follows a consistent chapter model constructed around the same set of questions, including "What is the Theory?" "What are the major constructs?" "What counts as evidence?" "What are the common misunderstandings about the theory?" The answers to these questions are written at a basic level by a leading expert in the respective theoretical model. As a result, the volume as a whole presents complex ideas in an accessible manner. Intended to serve as an introductory textbook for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students, "Theories in Second Language Acquisition" is an exceptionally thorough resource that effectively expounds the theoretical foundations of the field.
