Title: Editorial: Rethinking the Bottom Line for Internationalization: What Are Students Learning?
Body: From http://chronicle.com/blogs/worldwise/rethinking-the-bottom-line-for-internationalization-what-are-students-learning/31979 Rethinking the Bottom Line for Internationalization: What Are Students Learning? by Madeleine F. Green March 21, 2013 For many, if not most, institutions, “success” in internationalization is a bit of a numbers game. It is defined by the number of students going abroad, the number of international students and the amount of revenue they generate, and the number of campuses abroad or courses offered with an international focus. But what do these numbers mean for student learning? Although many colleges and universities cite producing “global citizens” as a goal, few have a clear set of learning outcomes associated with this label, a map of the learning experiences that will produce this learning, or an assessment plan in place to determine what students are actually learning and what that means for curricular improvement.

Title: Pennsylvania Deaf and Hard-of-hearing Students Sign Nursery Rhymes
Body: From http://www.eveningsun.com/news/ci_22834993/liu-deaf-and-hard-hearing-students-sign-nursery LIU deaf and hard-of-hearing students sign nursery rhymes The students narrated 10 stories for their film project in sign language By KATY PETIFORD March 20, 2013 Landon Sharp is one of four students in Lincoln Intermediate Unit No. 12's deaf and hard-of-hearing class who are performing nursery rhymes for this year's film project. Every other year, kindergarten through third grade students silently act out various stories on camera and the school's older students, grades four through 12, narrate them in sign language. This is the project's 10th anniversary and the school's fifth film. Apart from learning new stories, the project gives students an opportunity to expand their sign language vocabulary and get a glimpse of the filmmaking process, Educational Interpreter Tanya Chmilewski said.

Title: Article: The Expansion of Slavic Studies
Body: From http://postsovietpost.stanford.edu/discussion/expansion-slavic-studies The expansion of Slavic studies Slavic PhD programs in the US are seeing an increase in applicant quality and quantity, but the job market presents new challenges by Gabriella Safran March 20, 2013 Many are well aware that a conversation about the career paths of graduate students in the humanities has been taking place in the US academy. It’s true that even while we in the Slavic Department at Stanford have always been very proud of our placement rate – the majority of our students have gone on to excellent teaching jobs – we see that the economy is changing. A number of professions that used to have the ability to absorb a lot of educated workers, and used to be reliable sources of high salaries and good benefits are not this way anymore. And along with other professions, we are seeing a shift in teaching at all levels, from elementary school to higher education. It used to be the case that most higher education instruction was done by tenure-track faculty who had middle-class salaries, benefits, and lifelong employment. Now, universities are shifting away from that model and increasingly employing contingent faculty. So it is more and more likely that our college students will be taught by someone with a lower salary and possibly fewer or no benefits. This cannot but affect our graduate students, not just in Slavic, of course, but in all fields. We used to feel that our best graduate students would get teaching jobs, and those jobs would be middle-class jobs. We can’t be sure about that anymore.

Title: Exhibition: Albrecht Dürer: Master Drawings, Watercolors, and Prints from the Albertina
Body: From http://www.nga.gov/exhibitions/durerinfo.shtm Albrecht Dürer (1471–1528) has long been considered the greatest German artist, uniquely combining the status held in Italian art by Michelangelo in the sixteenth century, by Raphael in the 18th and 19th centuries, and by Leonardo da Vinci in our own day. The finest collection of Dürer's drawings and watercolors is that of the Albertina in Vienna, Austria. One of the largest in the world, it is distinguished by many of the artist's most stunning masterpieces: watercolors such as The Great Piece of Turf, a sublime nature study of the Renaissance; chiaroscuro drawings such as The Praying Hands, surely the most famous drawing in the world; and the amazingly precocious silverpoint Self-Portrait at Thirteen, perhaps the earliest self-portrait drawing by any artist. This groundbreaking exhibition is a culmination of decades of acquisition, study, and exhibitions of early German art at the National Gallery of Art. It presents 91—including most—of the superb Dürer watercolors and drawings from the Albertina and 27 of the museum’s best related engravings and woodcuts. It also includes 19 closely related drawings and prints from the Gallery’s own collection. Schedule: National Gallery of Art, Washington, March 24–June 9, 2013 For more information go to http://www.nga.gov/exhibitions/durerinfo.shtm

Title: Comparison Shows Weakness of Online Translators
Body: From http://french.about.com From the About.com French language area: To demonstrate some of the problems inherent in machine translation, I've run three sentences through the top six online translators. In order to check the accuracy, I then ran each translation back through the same translator (reverse translation is a common verification technique of professional translators). I've also provided my own translation for each sentence. Keep reading to find out how the online translators held up. http://french.about.com/library/bl-onlinetranslators.htm?nl=1
