Title: Chinese School Launches Online Tutoring Program
Body: From http://www.stamfordadvocate.com/news/article/A-Far-East-movement-Chinese-school-launches-1470070.php A Far East movement: Chinese school launches online tutoring program by Nicole Narea July 17, 2011 Seven-year-old Madison Kung barely looks up from the screen of his iMac computer when his mother, Terri, calls his name. The Looney Tunes-like sound effects coming from the laptop speakers would suggest that he is engrossed in a video game. On the contrary -- it is his Chinese homework. The Chinese Language School of Connecticut has taught Mandarin as a second language to non-native students ranging from toddlers to adults since its creation in 2002, but, as it enters its 10th year of operation, the Riverside-based school is launching a new online learning system called iVuChinese. The iVuChinese curriculum utilizes Better Chinese, an independent study website that provides homework assignments and lesson plans that correlate to textbooks for students ages 8 and above. It centers on interactive learning rather than simply rote memorization, offering games, stories and songs for each lesson.

Title: Discussion: 'Duzen' and 'Siezen'
Body: From http://german.about.com Deciding between 'Siezen' and 'Duzen' can be tricky at times. If you 'siezt' someone too long, you may come across as too stiff, on the other hand if you 'duzt' someone too quickly, you risk sounding impolite. Well, certain German groups have this dilemma covered. It's been a growing trend in the German business world to 'duzt' your colleagues. In fact, some companies have a clause in your contract that states that you agree to address others in the company with 'du.' One pioneering example is the Swedish chain IKEA that insists that this familiar form of addressing people be used, even towards customers! The same trend exists in many artistic venues as well. To read and join a discussion of this usage question go to http://german.about.com/b/2011/07/11/duzen-and-siezen-poll.htm?nl=1 and scroll down to read people’s comments.

Title: Online Project: What Will the World Look Like in 1000 Years?
Body: From http://www.esletc.com What will the world look like in 1000 years? This is the question posed by Sibylle Machat via her website, where she displays drawings of people’s imagined answers. She invites people to submit their ideas via postcard. This would be a great class activity, and the images Sibylle has already collected would make great writing or discussion prompts. Plus, students would probably get a kick out of seeing their work displayed online. This would obviously fit in well with a global issues class, but it would also work as part of a unit on community or activist art. Read the blog post with this teaching idea at http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ESLetcALL/~3/UQ0pnY81jNc The Wie sieht die Welt in 1000 Jahren aus? / What will the world look like in 1000 years? website is in English and German and is available at http://www.in1000years.com

Title: Using Blogs to Engage English Language Learners
Body: From http://www.edutopia.org/blog/ell-digital-divide-jon-schwartz Using Blogs to Engage English Language Learners By Jon Schwartz 7/14/11 "Robbie doesn’t write," his mom told me. When he first came into my fourth grade class, asking him for 20 words was like pulling teeth. He actually scribbled a number on top of each word to keep track so he wouldn’t write any more than the absolute minimum. Four months after I introduced him to blogging, he’s consistently writing more than 100 words per post. Not only that, Robbie turned from a shy, introverted kid to a source of inspiration and information for his peers. He sees himself as a writer.
