| Tom Wool (thomaswool@nypl.org) gives us a short summary of some of the new We Speak NYC shows (formerly We Are NY) that have health as a theme. Thanks Tom! Here's the website: We Speak NYC
Shumi's Pantry—This one focuses on Shumi, who wants to be a nutritionist and gets a job at a supermarket. She wants to talk to the customers throughout the episode about health, and sometimes gets in trouble for advising them about choosing healthy food. There is a lot to talk about in terms of physical health, a healthy diet, customer service, and more. She ends up finding out more about food pantries and the SNAP program in the episode as well.
Making New Friends—This one features a few elderly characters who make use of the senior center, and also has two characters who are home health aides. Possible topics include senior centers and community centers, the job/career of a home health aide, exercise, eating well, health for senior citizens, aging in the City, etc.
Rafaela's Test—Focused on a young woman struggling with depression and anxiety. Mental health issues are the main focus of the episode. This one is more difficult to find other topics to talk about, besides the main focus.

CLASSROOM SHOWCASE
From our NYPL Intake Team:
Here are some pictures of HL’s and AG’s Holiday potluck. We like to come together twice a year and have some quality time before intake begins!

Please send me pictures, and be sure to include the branch name and level. I need them by the end of the business day on Wednesday. If I already have enough submissions for the week- that just means your pictures will be published the next week. Personally, I think the pictures that you share are the best part of the blog.
Thank you! elizabethschade@nypl.org
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
American Language Program (ALP) Winter Conference
American Language Program (ALP) Winter Conference
The conference will begin with a plenary address by Lesley Painter-Farell, Director of the MA TESOL program at The New School. The plenary for the 2018 conference on vocabulary, given by Dr. Frances Boyd can be watched here. This address will be followed by four concurrent sessions and one hour of mini-presentations, as well as a networking/happy hour. Breakfast and lunch are included with admission.
We welcome proposals from our colleagues at all New York area universities, colleges, and schools, and we are interested in receiving proposals that focus on either practical approaches and techniques or research-informed presentations that demonstrate how students learn, remember, and use the language skills and knowledge they have studied and practiced in the classroom. To submit a proposal use this form; proposals will be accepted until January 14, 2019. We are especially interested in presentations from which attendees will take away practical classroom applications and ideas.
