Title: Language Activity Idea: Broken Telephone
Body: From http://teachingenglish.org.uk/try/activities/broken-telephone Here is a game idea from the Teaching English website of the BBC: This is a little game to help students with their listening practice and it develops pronunciation awareness. The name of this game is 'broken telephone'. * First the class is divided into a few groups, with about 10 in each group. I hand one person in the group a sentence, which he or she must then memorise and pass on to the next person, by whispering. * The next person will pass the sentence down the line to the next and so on until it finally gets to the last person in the group. That person in the group will then have to stand up and say what the sentence is. Teachers can construct sentences with words that may sound similar to others, like working (walking), lazy (lady), grass (glass) and so on. It's really funny hearing the sentence at the end because it is often a mad distortion of the original. The students often have a good time laughing at how ludicrous it all became in the end, and more importantly, realise the value of proper pronunciation.

Title: Book: The Globalisation of English and the English Language Classroom
Body: From http://int.narr.de The Globalisation of English and the English Language Classroom By Claus Gnutzmann and Frauke Intemann Publisher: Narr Francke Attempto Verlag GmbH + Co. KG Summary: The English language is the medium of globalisation and it is itself deeply affected by globalisation. As a result, the teaching and learning dimension of English as a tool for global communication needs rethinking - especially in the traditional English language classroom, which is still largely based on Anglo-American language norms and contents. The articles of this volume reflect the ongoing international discussion with regard to the use and acquisition of English in a world-wide context. The contributions cover four essential domains of this discussion: 1. Political, Cultural and Sociolinguistic Dimensions, 2. Teaching and Learning English in a Global Context: “Old” and “New” Standards, 3. Learners in Primary, Secondary and Higher Education: Focus on Europe and 4. Teacher Education.
