Title: Upcoming Lectures at the Berkeley Language Center
Body: From http://blc.berkeley.edu Here are two upcoming lectures at the Berkeley Language Center: --- The Making of a Soap Opera to Develop Students’ Foreign Language Writing and Speaking Skills by Thomas Simpson, Northwestern University This seminar describes a third-year, quarter-long language course centered on the creation by students of a parody of an Italian television soap opera. Students are called upon to act as writers, actors, directors, videographers, and editors of three episodes of an original soap opera. Using a simple formula for composition and with the assistance of a media center technician, participants learn the basics of a user-friendly video editing software such as iMovie, which they use to compose filmed video into a narrative sequence. With the instructor functioning mostly as facilitator and delighted observer, the course calls upon students to work collaboratively to build writing and speaking skills. The process of observing their own performances on video compels students to analyze and correct their verbal production and that of classmates. Friday, September 27, 2013 3:00 - 5:00 pm, 33 Dwinelle Hall http://blc.berkeley.edu/index.php/blc/post/lecture_september_27_2013_thomas_simpson --- Piecemeal but Promising: Technology Integration in Secondary Language by Paige Ware, Southern Methodist University In the last ten years, the pace at which technology has been integrated into classroom instruction in US secondary educational institutions has quickened rapidly. Often invoking a discourse of “21st century learning,” vibrant calls abound for schools to focus on the importance of global education, leadership development, and international engagement. Given the global orientation of these overarching goals, language educators in middle and high schools might well hope for increased attention to the promotion of foreign and second languages through new technologies. However, surprisingly few studies in the last decade have examined how and if secondary teachers are using technology for language instruction. This talk will provide an overview of recent research in this area and will highlight several trends in both the rhetoric and the reality of CALL integration in language instruction in secondary schools. I will draw on illustrative examples from my own research on second language writing instruction that explores the impact of starkly different pedagogical approaches to using technology, from the use of automated writing evaluation software to the integration of an international multimedia blogging project. These studies offer insight into the unique challenges posed by secondary language learning contexts and point to possible paths for steering the discourse surrounding 21st century learning in secondary schools toward a more multilingual orientation.

The Global Scholars program can be voluntarily adopted by school districts across the state and will allow high schools to award the Global Education Achievement Certificate. The certificate — which the state says is the first of its kind in the country — will be awarded to students who demonstrate their global competency through coursework and extracurricular activities, according to Gerhard Fischer, international and world languages education consultant for the DPI. In order to receive the certificate a student must take at least eight credits with a global focus, with at least four credits or classes coming from a foreign language class. The students must also complete eight reviews or reflections on international or cultural media, at least four of them books, participate in four high school extracurricular or school-organized activities with a global theme, and complete 20 hours of community service tied to a global community or issue.

Title: Sheng Language Is Gaining Prominence
Body: From http://www.coastweek.com/3629-news-31.htm Sheng language is gaining prominence By Ronald Njoroge and Chris Mgidu September 14, 2013 Kenya’s Sheng language, a mix of English, Swahili and other vernacular languages, is beginning to gain acceptance in the country. Scholars are unanimous that the language, which was once confined to the lowest class of society, has now emerged as the Lingua Franca in Kenya. United States International University Associate Professor Fredrick Iraki said that the role of Sheng can be seen in the mass media. “Both local and international companies now use Sheng when advertising their products and services,” Iraki said. English is normally spoken while conducting international business, education and news. Swahili, on the other hand, is used for basic inter-ethnic communication, lower level commercial activity and interaction as well as to express nationalism. “Sheng is now taking over some of the domains especially in news and entertainment,” he said.
