Body:
From: http://bef2015.commons.gc.cuny.edu/about-the-workshop/
The Graduate Center of the City University of New York, with the generous support of the National Science Foundation, is pleased to invite you to a two-day workshop on bilingualism and executive function, to be held on 18-19 May 2015 (Monday and Tuesday) at the CUNY Graduate Center in New York. The Workshop will immediately precede the International Symposium on Bilingualism-10 at Rutgers University (20-24 May 2015). The workshop has an interdisciplinary focus, as it will bring together experts from different disciplines broadly divided into two areas, bilingualism and executive function. The disciplines include cognitive psychology, linguistics, aging, and neuropsychology. Each of the 5 panels will feature two invited speakers, who are leading experts, and a discussant. Together the participants will discuss mechanisms and approaches that will connect bilingualism and executive function. To facilitate and inspire the interdisciplinary exchange of ideas among researchers and students from different backgrounds, and to promote collaborative research projects in the future, the organizers invite researchers in all areas of cognitive science and related fields to submit abstracts for a poster session (18 May) on bilingualism and executive function.

Title: Doughnuts: An Old German Creation
Body:
While this interesting article about the origins of doughnuts in Germany is in English, it does provide a few key words in German and could be a fun introduction to a longer lesson on German food and/or food traditions, incorporating food and mealtime vocabulary in German. Bringing doughnuts (or even making doughnuts as a class!) could be another fun complementary activity.
