Title: Atlantik-Brücke Seeks Southern California Teachers for Study Trip to Germany
Body: From http://www.germany.info/Vertretung/usa/en/__pr/GKs/LOSA/2013/05/01AB.html?archive=1998708 The Atlantik-Brücke Study Trip program seeks to bring American social studies and German history teachers as well as German language instructors - who may never have visited the country - to Germany, in order for them to gain a vivid perception of modern Germany to share with students, colleagues and friends. During their week-long study trip, teachers will learn about Germany’s society, political institutions, history and culture first-hand by visiting schools, museums and memorials, meeting with German politicians, journalists, business representatives, colleagues in education and Germany’s young generation. Teachers do not need to speak German in order to apply for the program. Though preference is given to middle and high school teachers, elementary teachers are also welcome to apply. This year’s program is offered in cooperation with the German Consulate General in Los Angeles, California and Germany’s Central Agency for Schools Abroad, a representative from which will serve as the program contact in the U.S. and will accompany participants on the study trip. For further information about the program, and to apply for this year’s study trip (deadline May 31, 2013), please download this pdf: http://www.germany.info/contentblob/3876460/Daten/3237703/AtlantikBrcke.pdf

Title: Free Online Translation Course This Summer
Body: From https://sites.google.com/a/swarthmore.edu/medieval-latin-summer-2013-the-gesta-francorum In the summer of 2013 Professors William Turpin (Swarthmore College, Classics) and Bruce Venarde (University of Pittsburgh, History) will be offering a free online Latin translation course, meeting on Google Hangout. The class will meet once a week starting on Monday, June 3, at 8-10 p.m. EST and will continue for perhaps ten weeks. We will be translating and discussing the Gesta Francorum, an anonymous first-hand account of the First Crusade written in relatively straightforward medieval Latin. A sample is offered below. The course is intended for students who have completed a year or so of classical Latin at the college level, or the equivalent in high school. It should also be suitable for those whose Latin may be a little rusty, or for those particularly interested in medieval Latin. Google Hangout will allow eight active participants (i.e. people who may wish to translate a particular section of text) and an unlimited number of auditors (who will be able to submit questions and comments by email). Full details about the course are available at https://sites.google.com/a/swarthmore.edu/medieval-latin-summer-2013-the-gesta-francorum , or see updates at http://blogs.dickinson.edu/dcc/2013/05/01/medieval-latin-open-online-course

Title: Article: Will Spanish Thrive Or Decline In The U.S.?
Body: From http://www.npr.org/blogs/codeswitch/2013/04/29/179816884/as-americas-latino-population-grows-will-spanish-thrive-in-the-u-s Will Spanish Thrive Or Decline In The U.S.? by Luis Clemens April 29, 2013 Watch enough of the programming produced in the U.S. by Telemundo or Univision and you will hear snippets of English spoken by guests who lack the vocabulary or knowledge of grammar to provide a complete answer in Spanish. The Premios Billboard had two active Twitter feeds during the music awards ceremony, one in Spanish and the other in English. The need for the two Twitter feeds reflects a generational shift and illustrates the cultural question of the moment for Latinos: Will Spanish survive as a language widely spoken by Latinos in the United States?
