Title: Seeking West Coast Hosts for German Exhibit
Body:
From the AATG-L listserv:
As part of the “Deutschlandjahr” in the US in 2019, the Goethe Institute is currently planning the tour of the exhibition “Erfinderland Deutschland – Land of Inventors Germany”. This exhibition will travel the US from the fall of 2018 until the late spring of 2019, and we are still looking for two schools to host the exhibition in the Western parts of the US.
Specifically, we are looking for one school in California, Arizona, New Mexico, or Nevada, and one school in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Utah, Montana, Wyoming, or Colorado.
“Land of Inventors Germany” is a thematic exhibition that focuses on STEM-related innovations that originated in Germany and have changed the world. The exhibition includes both historic achievements as well as contemporary innovations that will help shape our future. In addition it also provides an overview of opportunities in research at German schools and universities. The exhibition is designed for students between the ages of 15 and 25.
The ideal school will be able to provide a large space of somewhere between 850 and 1,050 square feet for the duration of one month. A professional logistics company hired by the Goethe Institute will handle both the assembly of the exhibition as well as the process of disassembling it. All the selected schools need to do is to ensure the appropriate handling of the exhibition for the duration of its stay, and to allow students from nearby schools to also visit the exhibit if they are interested.

Title: Target Language Input at School Art Shows
Body:
If your school's art department puts on art shows showcasing student art, consider taking your language students to visit. It's a great opportunity to use the target language to talk about art, ranging from simple questions like "Do you like this piece?" to complex conversations about why a student likes different styles of art.

Increasing Rigor in Secondary Language Programs
Adriana Ayala-Hire and Jen Daniels
May 10, 2018
Academic achievement is strongly associated with English language proficiency, yet students who are still developing English skills need to engage in rigorous curriculum long before they are proficient in academic English. As English language learners (ELLs) move into middle and high school and toward graduation, it is crucial that they experience a balance between challenge and support in all their classes.
Each state has its own requirements for students to be reclassified from ELL status, but all states require evidence of proficiency in the academic language needed for school success. Research has shown that it is bad policy to reclassify ELLs as proficient too soon or too late because the students are either pushed into sink-or-swim immersion in mainstream classes or they remain too long in the harbor of sheltered instruction and language support (Hill, Betts, Chavez, Zau, and Bachofer, 2014). It is important to acknowledge that many intersecting factors can result in low academic performance for these students, and asking difficult questions and listening to the voices of students, families, and teachers can lead to finding the best trajectory for ELLs toward graduation and postsecondary studies (Jimènez-Castellanos and García, 2017).
