Title: Report on Mentor-Apprentice Approach in British Columbia
Body:
From https://netolnew.ca/adult-indigenous-contributions-to-reviving-languages-in-bc-through-map/
During a 3-year community-university research collaboration, the W̲SÁNEĆ School Board / Saanich Adult Education Centre (W̲SB) and the First Peoples’ Cultural Council (FPCC), jointly with a University of Victoria team led by Dr. Onowa McIvor and Dr. Peter Jacobs, studied adult Indigenous language learning in British Columbia through the popular Mentor-Apprentice Program (MAP) method.
Within the MAP approach, adult language learners (known as apprentices) and proficient speakers (known as mentors) create their own oral language-immersive context through daily activities, cultural practices, and community involvement. The method directs spending 10–20 hours a week in one-on-one language immersion over a two- to three-year period.
The research project aimed to document the successes and challenges of MAP in the BC context. Over a three-year period, researchers interviewed over 60 participants, including current and past apprentices, current and past language mentors, and administrators in both partner organizations. The findings are now available.

Title: First-person Pronouns in Japanese
Body:
Here is a detailed article about first-person pronouns in Japanese. From the article: "Japanese pronouns convey different levels of formality, femininity, masculinity, and other bits of subtext—even hierarchy and figurative distance. How you refer to yourself in a given situation helps communicate your personality too. Do you want to sound polite? Modest? Cute? Do you want to sound like your favorite samurai anime character? The choice is yours—and this article will help you make a better, more personal choice."

Title: Italian Children Describe Their Art
Body:
From https://blogs.transparent.com
In this blog post, several 9- and 10-year-old Italian children describe the art they created in a printing workshop. This is a nice source of authentic language that could be used for a variety of language activities, such as matching each work of art with its description, asking learners to predict personality attributes of each artist, and creating their own art and describing it based on these models.
