Title: Free Online Finnish Language Course
Body:
From the SEELANGS listserv:
Dear postgraduate student,
I am looking for participants for a Finnish-language online continuation course. This pilot course is aimed at lower intermediate students with previous knowledge of the Finnish language. The course will run from the week starting 27 January to the week ending 6 April 2013 (10 weeks).
· The course is free of charge. I am asking you to commit to the lessons, take the exam and give me feedback about your experiences at the end.
· You will need a headset and the book Teach Yourself Complete Finnish by Terttu Leney. We will start at chapter 10.
· We will have one 90-minute lesson a week online through the conferencing tool Blackboard Learn. I have available slots on Monday and Thursday mornings and Saturday afternoons.
· You will have access to a Moodle page with exercises and quizzes.
· The focus on the course will be on reading skills. We will read authentic texts, such as news, abstracts and Wikipedia entries. Writing, speaking and listening skills will also be practiced.
· The course is particularly useful if you want to conduct fieldwork/archive work in Finland or access authentic source materials in Finnish. It is also good if you simply want to revise your previous skills.
· I would expect potential students to have completed at least an intensive beginners’ course (10 or 20 weeks) or reached level A2 on the CEFR scale.
To enroll on the course, send an email to the teacher r.valijarvi at ucl dot ac dot uk by 20 January 2013. Include the following information in the email: 1) previous Finnish studies, and 2) the time that suits you the best (Monday morning, Thursday morning, Saturday afternoon). I look forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes,
Dr Riitta Valijarvi

Title: White Rose Exhibition at the Marathon County Public Library and Elsewhere in Wisconsin
Body:
From http://engagedpatrons.org/Blogs.cfm?SiteID=1769&BlogID=112&BlogPostID=13631
In January, The Marathon County Public Library Wausau Headquarters will host a traveling historical exhibit about the White Rose, a student resistance group in Germany who rebelled against the Nazis.
Through photos and text, the exhibit tells the story of how the students and one of their professors quietly produced a series of leaflets that urged others in Germany to rise up against the tyranny of the regime. The White Rose group risked certain arrest – and possible death – to produce the anti-Nazi propaganda that was covertly distributed throughout Munich, Hamburg and beyond.
See the schedule of events at http://mcpl.us/events/?event_tag=white-rose-exhibition#.Us28FPZRaU4
Here is a recent news broadcast about the exhibition: http://www.wsaw.com/home/headlines/White-Rose-Exhibition-Opens-at-Marathon-Co-Library-239038671.html
