Title: 31 Reasons To Learn a Foreign Language
Body: French teacher Carrie Gold recently posted on FLTEACH: I get a big kick out of memes and those tumblrs with hundreds of reasons or examples of things. I decided to follow the format of the latter, and typed up a list of 31 reasons for learning a foreign language. I threw in a couple of "just because" things I could think of (like learning about other countries), but the majority of the reasons I pulled from research articles, books, or governmental publications (the citations are included). I included memes in a bunch of them, as well. I plan on talking about one reason in class about once a week during the next school year, and posting them on the classroom wall to keep up there during the year. I'm pleased with how the little project turned out, and I wanted to share it with whomever would like to use it. I've posted the document on my Wiki. http://goldlanguage.wikispaces.com/Why+Take+French%3F . Please feel free to download and use the document, and to adapt it/add to it according to your needs.

Title: Book: Speech Acts and Politeness across Languages and Cultures
Body: From http://www.peterlang.com/index.cfm?event=cmp.ccc.seitenstruktur.detailseiten&seitentyp=produkt&pk=59647&concordeid=430611 Speech Acts and Politeness across Languages and Cultures Edited by Leyre Ruiz de Zarobe and Yolanda Ruiz de Zarobe Published by Peter Lang International Academic Publishers Summary: Speech Acts and Politeness are among the main areas of interest in pragmatics. These communicative phenomena can be considered universal and at the same time language and culture-specific. It is this latter dimension that has been at the centre of recent developments in pragmatics, and it is also the focus of this book. The aim of this book is to reflect this development, providing evidence from four main areas crucial to pragmatics across languages and cultures: a description of a variety of speech acts and politeness strategies in different languages and cultures, a cross-cultural comparison of several speech acts and patterns of politeness, an in-depth analysis of issues concerning the learning and teaching of speech acts and politeness in second/foreign languages, as well as some methodological resources in pragmatics. This book is intended for researchers, scholars and students interested in the field of pragmatics, in general, or in the fields of cross-cultural and second/foreign language pragmatics, and specifically for those interested in speech acts and politeness. It will also be useful to any scholar interested in how communication and culture are related.
