Teachers may apply for the Distinguished Fulbright Awards in Teaching for one of eight countries (Argentina, Finland, India, Israel, Mexico, Morocco, Singapore, South Africa and United Kingdom). Teachers must have at least five years of experience, a B.A. degree and be currently employed in a full-time teaching position at a U.S. primary or secondary school.

Title: Article: Children’s International Summer Village in Maine
Body: From http://bangordailynews.com/2012/07/01/news/bangor/children-from-12-countries-gather-in-holden-to-learn-about-other-cultures-embrace-peace Children from 12 countries gather in Holden to learn about other cultures, embrace peace By Nok-Noi Ricker July 1, 2012 A monthlong international children’s village, designed to teach young people from around the world that peace is a better alternative to war, is sponsored every four years by the Maine Chapter of Children’s International Summer Village. This year’s village is dubbed, “Artists of the World: Creating a MasterPeace.” Children’s International Summer Village is an independent, nonprofit, nonpolitical, volunteer organization that offers children, youths and adults the opportunity to make new friends worldwide and learn about different cultures. The program started after World War II when Allen was a University of Cincinnati psychologist and decided to found an international organization to bring children together in fellowship. The first Peace Village was held in 1951 in Cincinnati. The program has grown significantly since and includes a number of local events, including minicamps, a Passport to the World program, Spanish immersion camps and a community-service project called Plant to Plate.

Title: Book: The Top 1,300 Words for Understanding Media Arabic
Body: From http://press.georgetown.edu/book/languages/top-1300-words-understanding-media-arabic The Top 1,300 Words for Understanding Media Arabic By Elisabeth Kendall Published by Georgetown University Press The Middle East is a key region for politics and business and it is essential that scholars, journalists, government workers, military personnel, businesspeople, and diplomats familiarize themselves quickly with Arabic/English translations for many key words and phrases used in the media. Media Arabic—the language of printed or broadcast news items—emphasizes contemporary terms like "multiculturalism" or "globalization" that are not covered by most Arabic dictionaries. This practical vocabulary reference provides concise and accessible lists of the most relevant vocabulary, providing key terms for translating from and into Arabic. The Arabic terms are organized by topic and the book now includes an index of English terms to help readers more easily find what they need. These word lists furnish readers with an invaluable knowledge of basic vocabulary used in the media to comprehend, translate, and write Arabic. Audio MP3 files of all vocabulary words in English and Arabic—available as a free download at http://www.press.georgetown.edu/languages —allow the reader to hear the words, check pronunciation, and test themselves.
