Title: Google Launches Street View of Mesoamerican Archaeological Sites
Body: From http://googleblog.blogspot.ca/2012/08/tour-brazil-and-prehispanic-mexican.html Less than two weeks ago Google introduced Street View imagery of 30 Mesoamerican archaeological sites in Mexico. Start your adventure by exploring Kukulkan’s Temple, a 1,100-year-old pyramid whose peak is reached by climbing 365 steps, one for each day of the year. When visitors clap their hands, the architectural acoustics at the base of the pyramid’s steps are designed to mimic the sound of the Quetzal, a bird that the Mayans regard as representative of their gods. Find hundreds of magical stories like this one by visiting the colossal pyramids of Teotihuacan, emblematic sites for the Mayans such as Chichen Itza or seaside archaeological jewels like Tulum. For links to these sites, read Google’s press release at http://googleblog.blogspot.ca/2012/08/tour-brazil-and-prehispanic-mexican.html

Title: Article: Graduate Students Work on American Accents
Body: From http://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/29/education/college-helps-foreign-students-get-through-to-american-ears.html?_r=1 Smoothing the Path From Foreign Lips to American Ears By RICHARD PÉREZ-PEÑA August 28, 2012 It is a complaint familiar to millions of alumni of research universities: the master’s or doctoral candidate from overseas, employed as a teaching assistant, whose accent is too thick for undergraduate students to penetrate. And it is an issue that many universities are addressing more seriously, using a better set of tools, than in years past. In some cases, university action has been prodded by politicians. Louisiana, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and Washington have laws requiring that instructors be intelligible, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures, and similar bills have been introduced in many other states in the last decade.

Title: Annenberg’s September 2012 Curriculum Focus Is Foreign Languages
Body: From http://www.learner.org/about/news/updates/september12.html This month’s curriculum focus at Annenberg Learner is foreign languages. Here are some example resources to help you stay in the target language: Tap into students’ interests and provide activities to explore those interests in the target language. In the Teaching Foreign Languages Library, program 5, “Mapping Planet Earth,” teacher Stephanie Appel says, “When you’re trying to decide what to teach as a world language teacher, you really need to think about what subjects catch the interest of your students. Why not steal the energy they get from learning those topics?” She uses visuals and physical movement to get her second graders talking about science and geography. Watch as ACTFL’s 2012 Teacher of the Year Yo Azama’s class uses familiar and new vocabulary to learn Japanese regions and landmarks. Students visibly enjoy the assortment of activities and feel comfortable talking with each other in program 23, “Promoting Attractions of Japan.” In program 6, Debra Terry’s fifth-grade, first-year French students talk about what is important to them -- their families and homes. They start the unit by cutting pictures of families from magazines while using vocabulary about relatives with each other. As the unit progresses, watch Ms. Terry use pictures and classroom objects to aid students’ understanding of French and to help them communicate with each other at this basic level. Access these and more resources at http://www.learner.org/about/news/updates/september12.html (scroll down for foreign languages).
