Title: Central Asian Language Materials Available As Podcasts
Body: From http://www.indiana.edu/~celcar/podcasts.php The Center for Languages of Central Asia (CeLCAR) is adapting its collection of on-line Kazakh, Pashto, Tajik, Uzbek and Uyghur language materials for mobile devices. In this first phase, texts are available in spoken and written formats along with basic vocabulary items glossed in English. CeLCAR selects news articles from a number of news sites and composes a summary in simplified standard language of the preceding week's news read by a native speaker. We also compose our own texts on various contemporary topics in Central Asian cultures. The level of language of these texts varies and will be be appropriate for learners at all levels, including those currently enrolled in language courses and those seeking materials to maintain their previously-achieved competency. Exercises for these texts are available at the CeLCAR website and will soon be incorporated into the downloadable material itself. Language Learning Podcasts are updated regularly on Friday afternoons from the CeLCAR offices on the campus of Indiana University, in Bloomington, Indiana. CeLCAR’s Central Asian Language Learning Podcasts are available free of charge at the Apple iTunes music store or directly from CeLCAR at http://www.indiana.edu/~celcar/podcasts.php .

Title: Using Refranes in Advanced Spanish
Body: An FLTEACH user describes the following activity: My Level IV students and I have had a lot of fun this week using Spanish proverbs and sayings. After introducing about 30 different sayings, contrasting the Spanish saying with equivalent expressions in English, discussing literal vs. figurative meaning and examining advertisements which use sayings (or variations of the sayings), the students made up pair dialogs illustrating a situation which ends with one of the characters concluding with a refrán using the words "Como dice el refrán..." ("As the saying goes...") and then letting the class guess the refrán that was being illustrated. Each dialog had a minimum of six exchanges. To put a little twist on it, I had the students make stick puppet characters. Some used photos of pop or sports icons, animated characters, original drawings, and even photos of themselves and classmates. They printed out the pictures at home, cut them out, I cold laminated them, and then they taped tongue depressors to the back of them. To make it more interesting, a student brought in a puppet stage she had in her attic that we mounted on two desks. We spent parts of three different class periods brainstorming, writing, and practicing and then did presentations today (which took about half the class period). The nice thing about the stick puppets is that they take little time to make, so that the precious class time is primarily spent on composing, revising and perfecting the Spanish and not on the "craft project." Heller, B. Activity Idea: Refranes. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv (FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU, 6 Nov 2007).
