Title: Review of Paideia's "Living Latin" Program
Body: From http://www.slate.com/id/2302020/pagenum/all/#p2 Vivat Latinitas! My lively summer speaking a dead language. By Ted Scheinman August 22, 2011 I boarded a plane to Rome this summer to join the small network of scholars dedicated to preserving Latin by actually speaking it. I found myself in the company of 16 other twentysomethings, puttering about the center of the ancient world chattering not in English or in Italian but —ecce!—in Latin. The Paideia Institute's "Living Latin" program is an immersive, spoken-Latin summer course based in Rome. The mornings are spent at the St. John's University campus reading poetry and prose and commenting on the texts in Latin; the afternoons are spent doing the same thing at various sites of literary or archaeological significance. While Paideia's "Living Latin" is technically a new program, it derives from Aestiva Latinitas Romae ("summer Latinity in Rome"), an iconic course taught for over 20 years by Friar Reginald Foster. An American Carmelite monk, Reginaldus served for more than 40 years as the Vatican's secretary of briefs to princes. More simply, he was the Pope's chief of Latin letters, a role that found him translating papal bulls into Latin while overseeing the Vatican's Lexicon Recentis Latinitatis, which offers helpful neologic Latin for such items as popcorn (maizae grana tosta) and pornography (pellicula cinematographica obscena). Reginaldus' eight-week summer Latin course, meanwhile, achieved legendary status among classicists, early modernists, archaeologists, and any number of other scholar-types.

Title: Book: Parler des Mots, Apprendre à Lire
Body: From http://www.peterlang.com/index.cfm?event=cmp.ccc.seitenstruktur.detailseiten&seitentyp=produkt&pk=58528&concordeid=430499 Parler des mots, apprendre à lire: La circulation du métalangage dans les activités de lecture by Corinne Gamila published by Peter Lang International Academic Publishers Summary: Prenant en compte des recherches fondamentales sur le métalangage et son fonctionnement en discours, et adossant son travail sur la description d'un imposant corpus de séances de lecture recueillies sur plusieurs années, l'auteur met au jour l'organisation du discours métalinguistique de la classe de lecture. Au premier rang de celui-ci figurent une terminologie naïve prolifique, le recours à l'autonymie qui permet de parler du langage sans employer de catégories, et une première nomenclature technique attachée à des savoirs sur la langue plus pratiques que théoriques.

Title: Idea: Using Google To Get Ideas for Particular Structures
Body: How can you find authentic sentences using a particular structure, and how can you get ideas for a story or other comprehensible input using a given structure? A MoreTPRS listserv contributor shares this idea: --- When you want to teach a certain structure and you want to get ideas for class stories, you can just put it on Google to get many examples. Then you can pick up those you think you can manipulate to get a TPRS story. As an example - for an advanced structure- I've just typed in the phrase "quiere un perro que" (wants a dog that) on Google and I picked all these ideas very quickly: Obama quiere un perro que no sea ... quiere un perro que no ladre (easily changed to 'que no hable mucho' if you don't want to teach "ladrar") quiere un perro que le haga compañía quiere un perro que juegue con los niños quiere un perro que sea fuerte quiere un perro que le acompañe a hacer "jogging" … que sepa convivir … que le salte encima y que le lama la cara. … que cace jabalíes=wild boar … que sorprenda por su tamaño. ... que sepa sumar y restar. ... que se porte mal constantemente (maybe you want to give the dog to your worst enemy) Ignacia A. [moretprs] using google to get ideas. MoreTPRS listserv (moretprs@yahoogroups.com, 26 Aug 2011).

Title: Book: Becoming Multilingual
Body: From http://www.peterlang.com/index.cfm?event=cmp.ccc.seitenstruktur.detailseiten&seitentyp=produkt&pk=61812&concordeid=430687 Becoming Multilingual: Language Learning and Language Policy between Attitudes and Identities Edited by Cecilia Varcasia Published by Peter Lang International Academic Publishers Summary: Research into the complex phenomenon of multilingualism is rapidly increasing. This book looks at multilingualism through its interfaces with language policies, language attitudes and issues of language awareness and identity. The aim is to examine the dynamic processes that lead or hinder the development of such phenomena. One of the scopes of the volume is to represent the complexity of the multilingual speaker by shedding light on different multilingual settings in the world. The chapters of this volume tackle the topic from a sociolinguistic perspective by showing how multilingualism is dynamically constructed. They provide empirical research on language learning in different multilingual environments in the world as well as practical suggestions for the investigation of multilingualism and the improvement of its education.
