Title: Activity to Practice Por and Para in Spanish
Body: An FLTEACH user recently asked for ideas to practice the use of por and para in Spanish. Here is one described activity: I wrote 15 sentences trying to cover all the different uses of the two, then wrote them out in large print on long strips of paper. Then I cut them in half, just before the por/para. I randomly distributed them to the class, and instructed them to find their "match." You have to be very careful when writing your sentences so that they can't have more than one match. Once they found their match they stood with them and all formed a large circle around the room. We went through each pair, and they had to read their sentence and explain why they thought it was correct, based on the por/para. Many find that they are incorrectly matched of course once we go through, but it's nice how they figure it out on their own once they see the sentences together. Henman, B. Re: POR/PARA Project or Activities. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv (FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU, 14 Apr 2007).

Title: States to Get Guides on ELL Test Methods
Body: From http://www.edweek.org/ew/articles/2007/03/14/27biling.h26.html? States to Get Guides on ELL Test Methods Published: March 14, 2007 By this summer, as part of its LEP Partnership initiative, the U.S. Department of Education expects to publish several guides for states on how best to include English-language learners in testing. The program was announced in July by Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings as an effort to help states improve the testing of students with limited English proficiency, which has been a contentious issue in the implementation of the No Child Left Behind Act. The partnership invited state education officials to meetings in Washington in August and October. Kathyrn M. Doherty, a special assistant to Deputy Secretary of Education Raymond J. Simon, said last week that she has been lining up researchers and other experts to write several guides that can be used by states. The guides will cost about $25,000 to produce.

Title: New Book: Learning and Teaching Languages Through Content
Body: From http://linguistlist.org/issues/18/18-1232.html Learning and Teaching Languages Through Content: A counterbalanced approach By Roy Lyster Published by John Benjamins Abstract: Based on a synthesis of classroom Second Language Acquisition (SLA) research that has helped to shape evolving perspectives of content-based instruction since the introduction of immersion programs in Montreal more than 40 years ago, this book presents an updated perspective on integrating language and content in ways that engage second language learners with language across the curriculum. A range of instructional practices observed in immersion and content-based classrooms is highlighted to set the stage for justifying a counterbalanced approach that integrates both content-based and form-focused instructional options as complementary ways of intervening to develop a learner's interlanguage system. A counterbalanced approach is outlined as an array of opportunities for learners to process language through content by means of comprehension, awareness, and production mechanisms, and to negotiate language through content by means of interactional strategies involving teacher scaffolding and feedback.
