• CAPL: Culturally Authentic Pictorial Lexicon

  Welcome to the Culturally Authentic Pictorial Lexicon, CAPL, the source for authentic images for language learning. As a language teacher and learner, I always seek to connect language, culture, and meaning. This site represents my interest to not only write about language learning, but provide concrete examples.

• Breathings of the Heart...: Project 365

  Interesting ideas -- this teacher is setting off on a journey - scrapbooking 365 days of her life. Interesting idea. For me, it may be just another thing to get behind on. It would be interesting to have a school do this and perhaps pass around a scrapbook between classes -- even better, each class has a page. Interesting idea!
