Title: Podcasts in the Second Language Classroom
Body: What can you do with podcasts in your classroom? Here are some ideas from language teachers and organizations: --- An FLTEACH user writes, I went to visit/observe a different school. They have 20 ipods with mikes -school property- that they carry into a transformed tool box. It is like a portable lab. One example is that you can record the theme of the week online, put it in a special folder that you keep for the class on the school hard drive. Kids listen and record their answers on their ipods. They can tell stories, interview each other... it depends on the assignments. If they are advanced technologically, they can do a powerpoint presentation backed up with music from the ipods. Obydol-Alexandre, K. Re: ipods. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv (FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU, 25 Oct 2007). --- Apple has a website with suggestions for using iPods in the classroom at http://www.apple.com/au/education/ipod/lessons . One especially useful lesson plan for foreign languages is available for download at http://images.apple.com/au/education/ipod/pdf/iPod_WorldLanguages.pdf . --- An article called “iPods and 2nd Language Acquisition” from the 2007 CALICO conference is available for download at https://segueuserfiles.middlebury.edu/achapin-ipod/iPods_and_2nd_Language_Acquisition.m4a ; an overview of the article is available at https://segue.middlebury.edu/index.php?&site=achapin-ipod§ion=8212&action=site . --- An MFLResources listserv user suggests reading his article, “Practical Podcasting: From idea to iTunes” from the Isle of Wight Conference 2007, available at http://joedale.typepad.com/integrating_ict_into_the_/2007/10/practical-podca.html . --- An FLTEACH user says, I have my upper-level kids listen to CBC Radio's C'est la Vie: Word of the Week (available at http://www.cbc.ca/podcasting/index.html?arts#wordoftheweek ) as a sort of dictee, and then they have to use that week's word as their Ticket Out of class. They write the phrases given (the show chooses one word and tells all the different uses and meanings it can have) and then we check for understanding, and they choose one to use. Blaz, D. Re: iPod. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv (FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU, 24 Oct 2007). --- Podcasts of French Lessons are available from http://www.podcastfrancaisfacile.com . --- The National Capital Language Resource Center has a new podcast area which currently includes an interview with an Argentinean about her life and clips from the 2007 Global Career Opportunities & Languages forum; the podcast area is available at http://nclrc.org/about_teaching/podcast_training.html . --- Spanish Professors.Pod has to do with "Podcasting" and "Videocasting". The basic idea is to invite other Spanish faculty members and their students to make an audio recording in Spanish between 2-15 minutes on a topic/subject/theme of their choice, and then share it with other colleagues and students of Spanish all over the world. The website is available at http://faculty.weber.edu/tspanos/podcasts/mypodcasts.htm . --- Spanish teachers can use Podcuentos del Profe as a source of Spanish input. Each episode contains one story with questions covering grammatical concepts and general comprehension. The website is available at http://podcuentos.edublogs.org ; there is also a YouTube channel available with videos since September 2007 at http://www.youtube.com/mrtejeda . --- There are lots of podcasts in Latin, including the following: -Latinum, an online Latin course, at http://latinum.mypodcast.com -Talking Vulgar is a source of comprehensible Latin input, at http://talkingvulgar.blogspot.com -FSI-based Latin and Ancient Greek content is available from Lingua Latina et Graeca at http://lingualatinaetgraeca.mypodcast.com --- An annotated list of oral Latin resources is available at the LatinTeach website at http://latinteach.com/Site/RESOURCES/Entries/2007/9/13_Communicating_in_Latin.html .

Title: Rich Internet Applications: Free Resources
Body: The Center for Language Education and Research is working on an ongoing project entitled Rich Internet Applications. Four of the new products available in this category are Audio Dropboxes, Conversations, Viewpoint, and Mashups, each described below. In the physical world, a drop box is where students can turn in papers, homework, or other assignments for teachers to collect later. In cyberspace, an Audio Dropbox is a virtual dropbox for audio recordings. Using this new tool, you can put a drop box for speaking assignments on any web page. From within that web page, students record themselves, and their audio files are automatically put into your drop box. Teachers can then access their drop box from anywhere and listen to the recordings. Put a drop box on your home page, mashup, wiki, or blog. Using the tool is as easy as copying and pasting. You do not have to upload or download anything, and it works on any computer from anywhere. Conversations is a program that allows teachers to record prompts or questions for their students to answer. The program can be used to simulate conversations, role plays, or virtual interviews. Create a conversation to ask questions and collect responses. Join a conversation to listen to and respond to questions. Students can work in practice mode or respond to questions spontaneously. The program runs from your web browser and works without downloading or uploading. Viewpoint is a video repository that allows you to record your videos online using your webcam or upload existing videos. These videos can then be linked from other sites or embedded inside your own web pages. Surpassing the functionality of YouTube, Viewpoint lets you add subtitles to your videos. The term mashup refers to the combination of data from one or more web services with customized functionality or data. In the case of CLEAR’s Mashups, the term refers to the combination of an audio or video clip with a SMILE exercise and additional text. The idea is to combine media elements to create a new resource for language teaching. For more information about these products, visit the CLEAR store at http://clear.msu.edu/store/products.php and click on the product name.
