The Wufong Project
Interactile Learning is sponsoring the Wufong Project. This is an awesome group of teachers and volunteers here in Taiwan that are aiming to help a local Atayal tribe. If you are in Taipei, be sure to attend the auction to help them out!
The Atayal Tribe in Chingchuan Village, Hsinchu County is the site for The Wufong Project. This project is a joint International effort to raise funds for a long needed Communiy Center. Photographers, artists and the Atayal children have worked in concert to create a cohesive spirit through photography and painting workshops designed for the renewal of the creativity that has been one aspect of tribal culture and lifestyle for many generations. Now there is an opportunity for you to join us in this project. The Exhibition and Fundraiser Auction Event will be at the Pavilion of Aroma of Flowers (Aboriginal Cultural and Creative Works Venue) 風味館（原住民文創商品旗艦店).
新竹縣清泉社區的泰雅部落是五峰計畫執行的主要地區，這個計畫結合了國際力量籌募社區中不可或缺的活動中心。藉著攝影及繪畫，結合攝影師、藝術家和泰雅部落孩童們的凝聚力，社區內文化生活創意產業的更新與重建已進行多年。現在，你也有機會參與這個計畫！展覽會及資金籌募活動將舉辦在風味館（原住民文創商品旗艦店)，竭誠歡迎您前來共襄盛舉。
The children's photos and group art projects will be on display to be auctioned off to raise money for this project. Please join us as we work together to make a meaningful and positive change in the lives of these children.
展覽會裡有泰雅孩子們的攝影及團隊繪畫作品，這些作品也會在拍賣會上進行拍賣。請加入我們，並和我們一起為這些孩子打造更有意義的美好人生！

Composition Construction
Our newest product is almost here! Composition Construction Book 1 is the first in a series of three composition books aimed at the pre-intermediate level.
We had two main aims in creating this series of books. The first was to take away the pain of writing a composition. Too often, us teachers hear students moan and complain as soon as we tell them that they need to write a composition. We aimed to break down the composition building process into small bite sized chunks that are easily managed and therefore don't appear too daunting.
We also wanted to change the dictionary definition of 'composition'. How often have your students been asked to write a composition with a topic like this:
Why is learning English so important?
Why is recycling so important?
Describe a role model.
These topics really have been overdone. And what defines 'composition' anyway? Surely composition just means writing. With that in mind we tried to think about all the different kinds of writing we need to do in English. Things like; writing a note for the refrigerator, writing a diary entry, writing a letter of apology, and writing a lost animal sign. These topics are rarely seen in composition books but embrace all the skills of English writing.
Composition Construction Book 1 will be available within the month. Here's a sneak peak at the cover.

New stuff!
We hope to have two new products on the market before the beginning of the new semester.
The first one is the first in a series of three composition books entitled Composition Construction. This series of books will make writing compositions a very step by step process that will take a lot of the pain and difficulty your students face out of it. We also wanted to redefine what a composition is. Too often we ask our students to write compositions about their ‘favorite holiday’, ‘Why is it important to learn English’, and ‘Your daily schedule’. These topics have been covered so often we tried hard to come up with some completely different and really interesting ones. And who says that composition should be a formal written exercise handed in to a teacher? Why can’t a composition be a refrigerator note to your mom, or a CD review, or even a secret diary entry? All these topics, and more, will be found in this new series.
We’re also publishing a new vocabulary review notebook. This notebook will make it very easy for your students to review the previously taught words and get ready for their spelling tests or just to increase their vocab power.
As soon as both of these products are available, we’ll let you all know!

The Spelling Hive 2 - Dictation
Hi everybody,
Time for another free worksheet. This should accompany The Spelling Hive Book 2. Aim to use part one once your students have completed Unit 9, and part two once they have completed Unit 18. You can decide yourself how many times you want to dictate it to them. Or you could use it as a supplementary test.
