Title: 2012 Heritage Language Teacher Workshop
Body: From http://nhlrc.ucla.edu/events/startalkworkshop/2012 2012 Heritage Language Teacher Workshop Workshop Dates: July 16-20, 2012 Application deadline: April 15, 2012 This workshop is designed to help language teachers face the challenge of teaching heritage language students. It will prepare them to understand the differences between teaching L2 and HL learners, the issues involved in heritage language teaching, and how to address them. Participants will explore ways to design their own curriculum and select materials and assessment tools. They will learn how to involve students as ACTIVE participants in the learning process. The five Cs recommendations from the National Standards will be implemented throughout the workshop. The workshop will include information on how to research a heritage language community and create a community-based program. A grasp of demographic data will give teachers an advantage in both teaching and promoting heritage language instruction in their own departments, institutions, and districts. The workshop will address these issues to better prepare teachers for the classroom. The workshop hopes to develop a cohort of language teachers who will be leaders and mentors in the field of heritage language instruction. The StarTalk sponsored languages are: Arabic, Chinese, Hindi, Persian, Portuguese, Russian, Swahili, Turkish and Urdu. Instructors from K-16 programs and community schools are invited to apply. Additional spaces are available for other less commonly taught languages. There is no charge for this workshop. A limited number of stipends will be available to cover travel and accommodations for out of state participants. For full details go to http://nhlrc.ucla.edu/events/startalkworkshop/2012

Title: Northwest Indian Language Institute
Body: From http://pages.uoregon.edu/nwili/summer-institute Northwest Indian Language Institute Summer Institute 2012 “Reclaiming Daily Conversations” Summer Institute: July 9 - 20, 2012 Teaching Practicum: July 23 - 27, 2012 “Reclaiming Daily Conversations” is the theme for the 2012 Summer Institute. Our thought behind this theme is to teach participants strategies on how to reclaim daily conversations from English. For example, instead of greeting someone in English with “Hi,” one could say, “He'ba'lo',” which is a Wiyot greeting. You could then ask after a person’s family by saying “ʔəsxid s(ə) adsyayayəʔ” in Lushootseed or tell someone that it’s cold, “dret khul alta” in Chinuk Wawa. This may seem a small thing, but when we begin to use our ancestral languages in daily life, it becomes easier to make room in other areas of our lives for our languages. This year we are excited to bring a third week of Teaching Practicum. During the third week we’ll offer intense applied teaching practices, peer reviews, teaching demonstrations, strategies for teaching conversation, and ways to motivate adult language learners. We hope you’ll take advantage of the third week! Daily core classes include: linguistics classes (beginning, intermediate, and Sahaptin); language classes (Chinuk Wawa, Lushootseed, Sahaptin, Tolowa Dee-ni'); teaching methods; and materials development. Please note, classes are subject to change, so please keep updated by visiting the Summer Institute website. The Scholarship Application is available online and the deadline is Saturday, March 31, 2012. For updated information, Scholarship and Registration forms, please visit the Summer Institute 2012 site here: http://pages.uoregon.edu/nwili/summer-institute If you have any questions or would like more information, please contact us. We look forward to seeing you in July!
