Title: Spanish assessment pilot program needs you
Body: ATTENTION COLLEGE-LEVEL SPANISH TEACHERS WITH SUMMER COURSES! Language Program Directors around the country have identified assessment and placement as key issues in managing language programs. Most of us would like to measure our students' proficiency and real-world language ability, but existing tests are so expensive and time-consuming that few of us can manage to fit them in. Now, the Center for Applied Second Language Studies (CASLS) at the University of Oregon, is developing an integrated online assessment of speaking, listening, reading and writing. Having your students participate in a pilot version of this new assessment will help our profession develop a better way to measure student performance and will directly benefit your students by helping them to understand the skills they need in order to be proficient. We are looking for teachers willing to pilot this new online assessment immediately. The current pilot will run through the Summer. The test, called STAMP 2, measures interpretive (reading and listening) as well as presentational (speaking and writing) proficiency. The current pilot focuses on the interpretive mode given that we are researching the accuracy of reading and listening test questions. The test will take approximately one hour of your class time. STAMP 2 is innovative both pedagogically and technically. Real-life tasks assess student proficiency using national standards. The interpretive section is computer adaptive, and test results are available immediately after the test is completed. Human graders evaluate and grade presentational sections. This test uses streaming video and audio technology to record and deliver sound files over the Internet. To take the test, students need a recent browser and QuickTime, both of which can be downloaded for free. In this pilot, we would like to get data on listening, reading and speaking items for students in the Novice-Low to Intermediate-Mid proficiency range. If you are interested, please reply to: sppilot@uoregon.edu After receiving your reply, we will contact you immediately to answer any logistical or technical questions you have about STAMP 2 and to discuss possible dates for piloting at your institution. Thanks for considering participation in the pilot. Your collaboration is necessary to ensure that STAMP 2 becomes a reliable and valid measurement of proficiency.

Title: German Film at Cannes: The Edukators.
Body: German film's political message resonates at Cannes Politics took center stage at the prestigious Cannes film festival this week as a German film about youthful idealism and its power to change the world became a top contender for the Palme d'Or best film award. Director Hans Weingartner's "The Edukators" ("Die Fetten Jahren Sind Vorbei") was a hit among audiences and critics alike, winning both a 15 minute standing ovation at its official premiere on Monday and glowing reviews in the industry's most important papers. The influential Hollywood Reporter, for example, called the movie a "rare beast, a terrific movie that boasts intelligent wit, expert storytelling, delightful characters and grown-up dialogue plus suspense and a wicked surprise ending." The first German film to compete at Cannes in over a decade, "The Edukators" follows three 20-something radicals who raid wealthy homes, rearrange the furniture inside and leave behind notes berating the owners with messages like "You have too much money." When the three are eventually surprised by one of the homeowners, a wealthy businessman with a leftist past, they take him hostage, setting the stage for a clash of generations and ideologies. Weingartner, an Austrian who learned his trade in Germany, said his film explores the fate of political activism in an age when politics and advertising are ever more closely aligned. "We don't know where to put our revolutionary energy and we don't know how to fight the system because we can't grab it, we don't know how to attack it," he told reporters. "The system has become so invulnerable because it sells revolution to us." "The Edukators" rides the wave of the recent international success of German films like the box-office hit "Good Bye, Lenin!" and "Head On," the first German film to win the Golden Bear top prize at the Berlin film festival since 1986. Indeed, Weingartner casts "Good Bye, Lenin!" star Daniel Bruehl in the role of Jan, a brooding revolutionary who falls for his friend's girlfriend. Along with Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11," an angry critique of the Bush administration's policies in Iraq, "The Edukators" has hit a nerve at Cannes in a year when striking film industry workers demonstrated at red carpet premieres. With critics calling the political current in this year's festival the strongest in years, "The Edukators" is said to be among the leading contenders for the prizes that a jury headed by U.S. director Quentin Tarantino will hand out at the close of the 12-day festival. For his part, Weingartner is happy just to be in Cannes for the huge festival. "I hope through Cannes our film will reach a lot of people and will have an effect," he said. "I don't expect that it's going to win a prize. That would be just too much for me. I think I would just go crazy, I would explode."
