Body: From http://www.ictfl.org/content/2013/04/ictfl-summer-teacher-tour-morocco-june-23-july-14-2014 The Illinois Council on Foreign Language Teaching announces its 2014 Summer Teacher Tour Destination: Morocco! Whether you teach Spanish or French or would just like to adventure into the mysterious land of nomadic Berber tribes, aromatic spices and deep-pile carpets. Nature is never far away in sunny Morocco. Desert, mountains, valley and sea - the country has so much to offer. After a day of exploring Rabat's famous medina or the blue lime-washed walls of Chefchauoen, you'll enjoy the lush gardens and cool oasis of our 4-star hotels. The tour will take you to both Spanish and French-speaking Morocco and include a visit to a Berber herborist, a camel ride and a belly-dancing show. No tour to Morocco would be complete with a romantic ending - a farewell dinner at Rick's Cafe. You can receive CPDUs or college credit and the tour includes an option to add to your adventure by traveling home through any major European gateway city so you can spend a few days in Madrid, Paris or Munich. June 23 - July 14, 2014 Early registration rates through April 30, 2013. For more details go to http://www.ictfl.org/content/2013/04/ictfl-summer-teacher-tour-morocco-june-23-july-14-2014

Title: Article: Why Should Parents Talk to Their Children in Their Native Language?
Body: From http://www.multilingualliving.com Why Should Parents Talk to Their Children in Their Native Language? By Ana Paula G. Mumy April 15, 2013 As a speech-language pathologist and as a multilingual mother of bilingual children, I am finding myself shocked and confused at the number of parents I run into who have chosen not to speak their native language to their children for various reasons or who have been persuaded to believe that speaking their native language to their children will hurt them socially or academically if the primary language of the community is different. There are so many great articles and literature (based on good research) available on the topic of bilingualism and its benefits, even for children who may be experiencing language delays, that it seems redundant to write on the issue, but I feel compelled to do so because the passing down of a parent’s native language appears to be diminishing more and more. So why should parents talk to their children in their native language? Read on to read Ms. Mumy’s answer to this question: http://www.multilingualliving.com/2013/04/15/why-should-parents-talk-to-their-children-in-their-native-language
