Title: Making Dictation Fun, Part 2
Body: Last week’s InterCom featured ideas for making dictations more meaningful, communicative, and fun. Here are some more suggestions: --- Dictation can be made much more accessible and enjoyable if done on computers. Dictation practice can start with things like inserting the spaces in a continuous stream of letters. Then listening and re-ordering chunks of text - starting from large chunks, moving towards individual words. Then things like typing in the missing letters. And finally retyping the whole text. The Mix&Gap component of the TaskMagic software, for example, can be used for dictation, as it creates several activities for each of the types of activity mentioned above, based on your own text/sound. There is a free (not time limited) demo of just the Mix&Gap component of TaskMagic at http://www.mdlsoft.co.uk/otherdownloads.htm#mixandgapdemo It contains several ready-made exercises, of which the 2nd in the list includes sound - so you can get an idea of how the activities mentioned above work. Lapworth, M. Re: [FLTEACH] How to Make Dictation Fun??. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv (FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU, 2 Oct 2009). --- One FLTEACH contributor uses this idea that he learned from someone else: Divide the class into groups of 4 or 5. Tell the class that the objective is for the group to write down the sentence you will say correctly. The first team to do so will earn 1 point. Then give out one sheet of paper to each group. Explain that each student will write down one word of the sentence. For example, if I said "Le professeur aime jouer du piano" (The teacher likes playing the piano), then the 1st student in the group would write "le", the second would write "professeur", etc. Each group member will pass the paper around until the sentence is finished. Then, the group would decide together whether the sentence is written correctly or not. Once the group decides that the sentence is written correctly, all group members would raise their hands. Chametzky, B. Re: [FLTEACH] How to Make Dictation Fun??. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv (FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU, 1 Oct 2009). --- To make the dictation more interesting and relevant, try the following: 1. A response dictation, where you give sentence number one, perhaps in question form (e.g., "What is your name?"). For sentence two, students have to write an appropriate response ("Now answer that question with a complete sentence in Spanish"). 2. Use of expressions and vocabulary that the students have practiced in the unit. 3. Create silly sentences ("Francisco drinks twenty cups of coffee every morning."). Bricault, D. Re: [FLTEACH] How to Make Dictation Fun??. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv (FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU, 2 Oct 2009). --- Making the sentences outrageous is usually fairly entertaining. We have been working on a unit that has a lot of food vocabulary in my level 2 class and I started off with some bizarre sentences, like "I ordered tuna and cheese soup last night," among other odd combinations of food. The students enjoyed it, and started making their own bizarre sentences. Sheldon, A. Re: [FLTEACH] How to Make Dictation Fun??.

Title: Book: The Bilingual Reform
Body: From http://www.narr.de/details.php?p_id=4730 The Bilingual Reform: A Paradigm Shift in Foreign Language Teaching by Wolfgang Butzkamm and John A. W. Caldwell Publisher: Narr Studienbücher Summary: With this book, change has come to foreign language teaching. The mother tongue taboo, which has been the perceived didactical correctness for so many years and in so many countries, is swept away. At the same time, this book combines theory with practice, advice and guidance to teachers. Since the mother tongue issue touches upon all the major domains of teaching – vocabulary, grammar, texts, communication, emotional aspects - a new synthesis of theory and practice has been developed.

Title: Fall MFLL Technology Roundtable (Tennessee)
Body: Fall MFLL Technology Roundtable -- A tale of two bloggeras: How to use blogs to engage language students. Date: Thursday, November 12, 2009 Time: 2-3:30 PM Presenters: Lori Celaya and Rossy Toledo, Lecturers in Spanish Place: 207 the Humanities and Social Sciences Building (HSS), the University of Tennessee-Knoxville Contact: Doug Canfield, Coordinator of LRC (dcanfie1@utk.edu) If you are interested in fostering class and language community, improving students' critical writing skills, supporting informal and social language learning , or promoting collaborative learning, blogs can help you achieve these goals.

The discussion will also give participants the chance to use their own materials to create or enhance their own instructional blogs, and to brainstorm applications and best practices with the presenters. Please come prepared with materials, questions, and experiences as we discuss how to leverage this important digital tool to enhance student use of target languages.
