Title: Freie Universität Berlin Invites Undergraduate Applications
Body: Freie Universität Berlin invites applications for its undergraduate FU-BEST (Berlin European Studies) program for Spring 2013 and beyond. Based on the U.S. academic calendar, FU-BEST offers a strong intensive German language program as well as an exciting menu of content courses taught mostly in English but also in part in German. There is no language prerequisite for participation in this program, but all participants are obligated to enroll on-site in German language training at their particular level. The content courses cover topics from a variety of disciplines, ranging from political science, history, philosophy, and sociology to music history, architecture, film studies, marketing/management, environmental studies, sociology, and art history. The program has hosted participants from a wide range of mostly U.S. colleges and universities, featuring a growing number of formal institutional partnerships. Student feedback has been very positive. Every semester features a week-long off-site excursion (in the case of Spring 2013, the participant group will be divided in two and will travel to Belgium and to Nuremberg/Prague, respectively), as well as local field-trips and cultural events. · Participants are housed in homestays or single-occupancy apartments, but may also opt out of these choices if they set up their own housing sufficiently in advance of the program. The application deadline for participation in the Spring 2013 semester is October 15, and April 1 for the Fall 2013 semester. Students may apply directly to FU-BEST (after approval at their home institution) or via their home college/university (especially where an institutional partnership exists). For full details on courses as well as other features of the program and application materials, please visit http://www.fubest.org and click on the many links to all the information and documents (including course syllabi).

Title: Make Service Learning Global: Steps To Get Started
Body: From http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/global_learning/2012/08/make_service_learning_global.html?cmp=ENL-EU-VIEWS2 Make Service Learning Global by Heather Singmaster August 15, 2012 As service learning has taken root in schools and afterschool programs, its primary focus has been local and national. However, examining global issues can motivate a greater understanding of and involvement in local issues, and vice versa. If you already have a service component to your program, look for the global implications of the issues you already address. Or, help youth identify causes that are inherently global, such as protecting the environment, rebuilding after natural disasters, assisting those in poverty, or expanding educational opportunity, and create local projects that take into account broad perspectives and implications. It is also important to provide structure, focus, and clear learning objectives for knowledge acquisition as young people embark on international service projects. Remind students always to respect the people and causes you are taking on. Youth should see themselves not as heroes who set out to rescue a victim, but as citizens who share an equal part in the challenges and responsibilities of a global age.

These can be easily adapted by using the target language. http://teacherbootcamp.edublogs.org/2012/08/03/10-getting-to-know-you-activities-for-teens-adults --- Larry Ferlazzo has a list of helpful links, The Best Resources For Planning The First Day Of School, on his blog: http://larryferlazzo.edublogs.org/2011/08/08/the-best-resources-for-planning-the-first-day-of-school --- Mr. Ferlazzo has also asked several “guest” teachers on an Education Week blog what they recommend for getting off to a good start. The three-part series is available here: http://blogs.edweek.org/teachers/classroom_qa_with_larry_ferlazzo/2012/08/response_several_ways_to_get_the_new_year_off_to_a_good_start_--_part_one.html http://blogs.edweek.org/teachers/classroom_qa_with_larry_ferlazzo/2012/08/response_several_ways_teachers_parents_can_start_the_new_year_well_--_part_two.html http://blogs.edweek.org/teachers/classroom_qa_with_larry_ferlazzo/2012/08/response_dont_wait_until_christmas_to_smile.html --- Edutopia shares some ideas from on online panel, "Connected Education and the First Six Weeks”: http://www.edutopia.org/blog/connected-educator-month-collaboration-suzie-boss --- The French About.com website has put together teachers’ suggestions for the first day of French class (but these suggestions apply to any language) at http://french.about.com/od/teachingresources/a/firstday.htm?nl=1

Here are some more: --- Rob Jenkins offers some generic advice for post-secondary instructors at http://chronicle.com/article/Day-1-of-the-Semester/133167 --- You may want to start early in explaining language proficiency levels to your students. Spanish teacher Megan Johnston tells how she does it in a blog post here: http://creativelanguageclass.wordpress.com/2012/08/08/explaining-proficiency-levels-to-students --- See what Ms. Johnston does on her first day of class at http://creativelanguageclass.wordpress.com/2012/08/06/first-day-back --- Ellen Shrager has first day “Tech Guides” for Spanish and French available as free downloads at the Teachers Pay Teachers materials sharing site.
