Title: Website Launches New Resource for English Teachers Worldwide
Body: From http://www.emediawire.com/releases/2007/5/emw524147.htm English teaching site www.englishbanana.com launched its new "English Banana.com Schools" project in May 2007, which is aimed at making life easier for English teachers around the world. The new materials include staple forms that every English teacher has to either find or make themselves in the course of their daily teaching life, such as: ILPs (individual learning plans), blank lesson plans, initial assessments and schemes of work at different levels. By using the materials provided for free on English Banana.com, teachers can spend less time making their own templates - thus reinventing the wheel - and more time working with their students. The materials are provided as both .pdf and Word .doc files, so that they can be easily adapted. There is also a support forum where teachers can ask questions, make suggestions and swap ideas. Visit the English Banana website at http://www.englishbanana.com/index.html .

Title: Vocabulary Study Idea for Students
Body: Here is a suggestion from an FLTEACH user for a way students can study vocabulary: I call this study technique a word fan. Visualize a sheet of notebook paper, landscape format (wider than it is tall). On the right-hand edge, make a column about 2" wide. In that column write the list of English translations for the French words you want to learn to spell. Flip the page over. Exactly on the other side (a 2" column on the left side, now, au verso) write the French on top of its English prompt on the other side. They should line up so that if you held the paper up to the light the French and English would be written over each other to match. Fold the paper so the French is covered by the English-list "flap" and you can read the English words. To the right of the flap, try to write the French for each of the words in the column. Flip open the flap to expose the original French versions, which will now be side-by-side with what you just wrote. Check for spelling. Draw a line through misspelled words and study the correct spelling under the flap. Say the word, spell outloud, write it in the air, put it into a rhythmic chant, spell by syllables, whatever it takes. Refold the flap so that it covers what you just wrote and checked, and the English is next to blank paper again. Try again to write the French for each English word. Open and check against the answer key under the flap. Keep this up until you can write each target word 3 times correctly. At that point you can put a check by the English word on the list and focus on the ones you haven't got yet. When you have checked off all the English words, try writing the French again for all the English words on a clean sheet and see how well you have retained the ones you mastered first. Maybe even start at the bottom or the middle to challenge yourself a bit more. Young, M. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv (FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU, 20 Jun 2007).
