After several years of study, many English as a foreign language (EFL) learners have a large enough vocabulary and sufficient reading fluency to silently read English stories and books outside class. Once students have reached this threshold, teachers can introduce and encourage independent reading in EFL courses, as there is rarely time in class for extensive reading. Teachers can select graded readers, printed books or e-books (some of which are available online for free), and shorter readings found on websites. The goal is to help students develop their English vocabulary, reading fluency, and reading comprehension through out-of-class reading. This article offers ideas for locating reading materials and suggests classroom activities to support students' independent reading and help them enjoy reading.

Music is universally pleasurable and important, and no known society is without it. Flutes have been found around the campfire in Neanderthal cave sites in artifacts that date back 53,000 years (Leutwyler 2001). Young adults in particular listen to music almost nonstop, and their playlists form an important part of their identities. It only makes sense to use students' interest in music as a motivator for their English studies. The brief overview presented in this article shares effective ideas for using music to teach English, followed by a selection of reliable online resources for accessing music and songs.
Using the Linguistic Landscape to Bridge Languages

In this article Vanessa Mari describes how she uses the linguistic landscape to bridge two or more languages with students learning English. The linguistic landscape is defined by Landry and Bourhis (1997, 25) as &quot;the language of public road signs, advertising billboards, street names, place names, commercial shop signs, and public signs on government buildings.&quot; Making use of the linguistic landscape provides opportunities for students to engage in contextualized authentic language discussions--in English--about their first language (L1) and English. Through the activity described in this article, the teacher makes use of multiple languages to help students learn English; additionally, students become critical thinkers about language use throughout their community. This analysis creates a bridge between the L1 and English because students use both simultaneously as they analyze the languages they know or are learning. They also see their L1 portrayed in their classes, which makes it easier for them to see how both languages connect in the same space.

An auction is a process of buying and selling goods or services by offering them up for bid, taking bids, and then selling each good or service to the highest bidder. Participants bid openly against one another; each bid must be higher than the previous bid. In the activity described rather than goods or services, English teachers sell sentences! The activity can be an effective and enjoyable way to finish a lesson, to check students' understanding, and provide a review at the beginning of the next class. The main goals are to review a targeted grammar structure (or vocabulary or, at lower levels, numbers) and to give students a chance to work together and have fun.

This article promotes the strategic use of music in L2 classrooms to motivate learners as they practice and produce the target language and actively participate in the lessons. First, the authors briefly examine the decision to use music in the language-learning process from a psycholinguistic viewpoint. Second, they outline several benefits of music-based instruction, namely that it: (1) reinforces the prosody (e.g., rhythm, stress, and intonation) of the target language; (2) authentically educates learners about the target culture and other cultures; and (3) encourages learners to express themselves. We also mention perceived drawbacks of music-based instruction. Third, they consider general learning strategies in listening and speaking classes and provide three sample music-based activities that we have successfully used in our own classrooms. Fourth, they offer an example of how music can motivate learners. Finally, they share a few takeaway points to keep in mind.

The writing conference, an opportunity for composition instructors to exchange class time for individual or small-group meetings with students, is a popular tool among writing teachers. However, students who come unprepared for their scheduled meetings--or miss them altogether-- will miss as much as a week's worth of instruction and receive little benefit in exchange. In this article first-year English composition instructor Gracie Forthun describes how she holds a workshop day rather than cancelling class and requiring each student to meet with her to discuss his or her writing. On workshop days, students spend the majority of their time in the classroom, where they independently revise their drafts based on feedback they have gotten from their peers and from her. Students who want individualized feedback have the opportunity to join Forthun one by one outside the classroom, where they can ask questions about the commentary they received, about their drafts in general, or about how they can improve holistically as writers. Those who do not wish to ask questions can work quietly on their own. This approach ensures that personal attention is available to students who can utilize it, while also ensuring that students who choose not to engage in one-on-one discussion have a productive alternative: revising their work.

In cultures where there is a danger of losing face by making a mistake, students prefer activities in which their errors may not be so apparent. The speaking skill is challenging for language learners, necessitating activities that support oral interaction in the classroom. The adaptable radio drama activities presented in this article promote student collaboration in a low-stress environment that encourages speaking and integrates reading, writing, and listening skills as well.

The technique provided in this article offers an integrated-skills activity. Students should be able to read the description of a visual image, describe their own visuals, read and collect information from other students' writing, and speak about what they have found. This activity can be adapted for nearly any language level. The activity can address a wide range of targeted grammar points, as learners practice using the targeted grammar as they carry out the activity. The example given uses the simple past tense as an illustration of how the technique works in practice in an elementary-level class.

During a recent English class at the Universidad Tecnológica El Retoño (UTR) in Aguascalientes, the teacher, Celeste Fernández, asked a student a question. When the student paused for a few seconds, other students shouted out answers. Ms. Fernández reminded those students, &quot;Give her time to think, please!&quot; This short moment shows the heart of Ms. Fernández's teaching philosophy. She wants students to try their hardest and participate, even if they are unsure. She encourages them to think for themselves. She wants every student to have a chance to participate, and she wants each one to feel a part of the classroom and feel excited about the lesson. This brief article discusses the circuitous path Ms. Fernández took to becoming an English teacher in Aguascalientes and how her passion and encouraging attitude at school impacts her students.
