Title: American Councils (ACTR) Fulbright-Hays 2015 Summer Russian Teachers Program
Body:
From the SEELANGS listserv:
American Councils for International Education (ACTR) is now accepting applications for the 2015 Summer Russian Language Teachers Program. Funded by the U.S. Department of Education, Fulbright-Hays Group Projects Abroad, the program provides current and pre-service Russian instructors the unique opportunity to study Russian culture, language, and pedagogy at the Russian State Pedagogical (Herzen) University in downtown St. Petersburg, Russia for six weeks, from June 25 to August 9, 2015. The program begins with a mandatory pre-departure orientation in Washington, DC on June 24.
The newly designed Fulbright-Hays Summer Teachers Program features:
• Intensive language classes conducted by leading Russian faculty in small groups geared toward individual proficiency levels and designed to strengthen essential speaking, reading, writing, and comprehension skills.
• A specially designed course to help participants develop a comprehensive portfolio of assignments, lesson plans, and exercises based on authentic materials gathered in Russia. Participants will introduce the newly developed portfolios into their classrooms upon returning to the U.S. and report on teaching outcomes.
• Seminars on contemporary Russian society, Russian Orthodoxy, Russian musical culture, and literary St. Petersburg.
• Weekly cultural excursions and an extended trip outside St. Petersburg to maximize participants’ exposure to key historical sights and provide additional opportunities to gather authentic teaching materials.
• Housing and meals with Russian host families and weekly meetings with Russian peer tutors to maximize linguistic and cultural immersion.
• Ongoing logistical support, guidance, and emergency assistance from a full-time resident director.
Fulbright-Hays fellowships will cover the cost of tuition, cultural programs, international airfare, visas, housing, living stipends, and insurance; approximately 12 fellowships will be awarded. Finalists will be responsible for an administrative fee for the program, which will be finalized in November.
To be eligible for Fulbright-Hays funding, applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents who are:
• Elementary or secondary school teachers;
• Faculty members at higher education institutions;
• Graduate students or upperclassmen at colleges or universities studying to teach Russian; or
• Administrators at state departments of education, higher education institutions, or school districts who plan, conduct, or supervise programs for students at all levels.
Priority in funding awards will go to K-12 teachers, individuals who have not spent an extended period of time in Russia in the last three years, U.S. teachers who support fledgling Russian programs or are preparing to launch new programs, graduate students with a strong commitment to teaching, and non-native speakers of Russian.
Program applications are due February 15, 2015.

Title: Living Language Contest in German
Body:
From http://www.justaddgerman.org/language-contest/
Have you heard of a “Schifffahrtskapitänsmütze” before? Probably not. It is a compound word, which German is especially suited for, meaning “marine captains’ hat”. Compounds create new, more descriptive words by combining two or more existing ones.
Now it is up to you to become part of the living German language and expand its vocabulary by inventing a new German compound word! Submit it via this form by November 30, 2014, and you could be the winner of one of these amazing prizes:
• 1st Place: 1 iPad Air
• 2nd–4th Places: 1 iPod shuffle (each)
• 5th–15th Places: 1 Amazon gift card ($25 each)
Entries will be judged on creativity, originality, length, and your description of your work.
Deadline is November 30th, 2014. The contest is open to all U.S. residents.

Title: Report: French Dual Language Programs in the U.S.
Body:
From http://frenchlanguage.frenchculture.org/news/french-dual-language-programs-us
The Cultural Services of the French Embassy to the United States has released a report: 2015 Trends and Supports on French Immersion and Bilingual Education.
“French dual language programs in the United States take on many shapes and forms to answer the needs of the community. The two dominant trends in program creation are state-led initiatives and grassroots initiatives.
“The amazing benefits of a dual language education speak for themselves, and the growing body of research on bilingualism confirms the lasting impact that these immersion programs will have for generations to come. Dual language programs prepare students for a successful intellectual, multicultural and global future.”
