Title: Middlebury Japanese School
Body: From the Middlebury Japanese School – An eight-week immersion program in Japanese language and culture: June 10-August 5, 2011 • Mills College Campus, Oakland, California ****************************************************************** Japanese School to celebrate inaugural summer at West Coast location in 2011 Next summer will mark a milestone when the Japanese School moves to the Language Schools' West Coast campus, at Mills College, in Oakland, California. We're very much looking forward to bringing the same magic to the West Coast that we've created here in Vermont for the last 40 years! ****************************************************************** Three-Week Graduate Technology Course (July 1–22, 2011) The Japanese School offers a three-week non-degree graduate technology course for pre-service and in-service teachers of Japanese as a foreign language. Participants improve their IT skills in order to enhance course management and materials development, and training is provided in a variety of areas including word processing, spread sheets, graphics editing and the use of digital photo, sound and video recording technology. Because this course is offered as a part of the Japanese School, participants will have opportunities to observe language courses during the session. Please Note: For the summer 2011 session, the dates of the three-week technology course have been scheduled so that students will be able to participate in Rakugo Week and attend a presentation by Shigeko Sasamori, a hibakusha (atomic-bomb survivor) of Hiroshima. ****************************************************************** Full scholarships available for intensive Japanese language study at the Middlebury summer Language Schools We are pleased to announce the continuation of the Kathryn Davis Fellowships for Peace for the fifth year in a row. The fellowship will cover the full cost of one summer of language study—from the beginner to the graduate level (including the three-week technology course)—in any of six languages, including Japanese. For more information, please visit http://go.middlebury.edu/ls/kwd Need-based financial aid available to all students The average grant awarded in 2010 was $5,454.

Title: German-Style Christmas Markets in the United States
Body: From http://www.germany.info/Vertretung/usa/en/07__Culture__Lifestyle__Travel/06/09__Advent__Christmas/Markets__in__America.html One of the most memorable experiences for anyone in Germany is savoring the winter holiday season at one of the country's myriad Christmas markets. Ringing in the holiday season, cities across the US are celebrating with their own reincarnations of the traditional German Christmas market. Not unlike the Christmas markets in Germany, each of its American cousins has a flair that is unique to the city or region where it takes place. See a list of some markets in the United States at http://www.germany.info/Vertretung/usa/en/07__Culture__Lifestyle__Travel/06/09__Advent__Christmas/Markets__in__America.html For a taste of an authentic German market, visit the Nuremberg’s Christkindlesmarkt website, available in several languages: http://www.christkindlesmarkt.de

The Fellowship is intended to recognize secondary-school teachers of Greek or Latin who are as dedicated to their students as the Coffins themselves by giving them the opportunity to enrich their teaching and their lives through direct acquaintance with the classical world. It will support study in classical lands (not limited to Greece and Italy); the recipient may use it to attend an educational program in (e.g. American Academy, American School) or to undertake an individual plan of study or research. It may be used either for summer study or during a sabbatical leave, and it may be used to supplement other awards or prizes. Candidates for the Fellowship must have been teaching Latin or Ancient Greek at the secondary level (grades 9-12) in North America as a significant part of their academic responsibilities for three years out of the five prior to the award. The amount of the award for 2011 will be $2,500. Application deadline: Monday, January 31, 2011 For more information go to http://apaclassics.org/index.php/awards_and_fellowships/individual_awards/call_for_nominations_for_2011_coffin_fellowship_for_travel_in_classical_lan

Title: Book: The Mental Lexicon and Vocabulary Learning
Body: The Mental Lexicon and Vocabulary Learning: Implications for the foreign language classroom by Saskia Kersten Publisher: Narr Francke Attempto Verlag GmbH + Co. KG Summary: Lexis was, for a long time, paid scant attention to in foreign language teaching. Over the last 20 years, however, vocabulary acquisition has become a focus of academic research. In particular, the Cognitive Linguistic perspective on foreign language learning offers a rich theoretical framework for research in this area, since it encapsulates both ease of learning and a more profound knowledge of the target language. Learning vocabulary in school contexts, however, is still strongly associated with rote learning in many parts of the world, that is, the repetition of items, usually using lists with little or no contextual information. The implications of Cognitive Linguistics form the basis of an intervention study carried out in German primary schools. This investigates whether lessons enabling learners to elaborate on words and thereby process the vocabulary more deeply lead to better long-term retention of these items. The results of this empirical study are used to evaluate the relevance and benefits of the theoretical implications of vocabulary research for primary school learners of English.

Title: Book: Corpus-Based Approaches to English Language Teaching
Body: From http://www.continuumbooks.com/books/detail.aspx?BookId=132867&SearchType=Basic Corpus-Based Approaches to English Language Teaching edited by Mari Carmen Campoy, Begona Belles-Fortuno, andMaria Lluisa Gea-Valor published by Continuum Description: Corpus-Based Approaches to ELT presents a compilation of research exploring different ways to apply corpus-based and corpus-informed approaches to English language teaching. Starting with an overview of research in the field of corpus linguistics and language teaching, various scenarios including academic and professional settings, as well as English as International Language, are described. Corpus-Based Approaches to ELT goes on to put forward several chapters focusing on error analysis using learner corpora and comparable native speaker corpora. Some of these chapters use translations and their original sources, while others compare the production of learners from different L1 in multilingual learner corpora. Also presented are new tools for corpus processing: a query program for parallel corpora, and the provision of tools to implement pedagogical annotation. The last section discuss the challenges and opportunities that multilayered and multimodal corpora may pose to corpus linguistic investigation. This book will be useful to those teaching in higher education and wishing to develop corpus-based approaches, as well as researchers in the field of English Language Teaching.
