Title: Diaspora Experiences: German-Speaking Immigrants and their Descendants, Ontario, August 2006
Body: University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada 24-27 August 2006 The Waterloo Centre for German Studies at the University of Waterloo is currently planning an interdisciplinary conference on the diaspora experiences of German-speaking immigrants and their descendants. The Kitchener-Waterloo region, home to the Waterloo Centre for German Studies and University of Waterloo, is Canada's most prominent area of German settlement. The conference will explore commonalities and differences experienced by German-speaking immigrants and their descendants when living in geographical and linguistic settings other than those of their own ethnic origin. These can include individuals and groups in all continents of the world. Sessions will be planned with a focus on history, linguistics, literature and film. Topics within these may include, among others: * acculturation strategies of German - speaking people (assimilation, integration, separation); * bilingualism, loss and maintenance of the German language among immigrants and their descendants; * emigration / immigration history; * emigration/immigration of German - speaking people as a subject of literature and film; * gender issues; * impact of WW I, WW II and the experience of Germany under National Socialist rule on German - speaking people in the diaspora; * interactions between German - speaking immigrants and their descendants, with others in their adopted countries, and among members of different waves of German-speaking immigrants; * relations between the German language and identity development.

Title: Language Battles Continue in South African Schools
Body: A national debate over the right of South African schools to teach in indigenous languages heated up in January when the government forced an Afrikaans-language primary school to enroll a group of English-speaking children. South Africa has 11 national languages, creating a complex situation where a balance must be struck between proficiency in a nationally useful language and preservation of indigenous tongues.

Title: Spanish Department Web Site Offers Useful Links
Body: I have just completed a revision of the Spanish Department website, complete with student (and faculty) resources such as cultural links, various Power Point files, cultural projects, and course syllabi. The home page is http://www.northpark.edu/spanish/default.cfm The student resource pages are organized around our first-year curriculum, which is a two-semester sequence (Spanish 1010 and 1020). We use Panorama as our basal text for the two courses, so the materials are organized by unit (Lecciones 1-7 for 1010 and Lecciones 8-13 for 1020). The student resource pages can be found at http://www.northpark.edu/spanish/Spanish1010.cfm and http://www.northpark.edu/spanish/Spanish1020.cfm . I've also added a separate page that organizes the 54 different Power Point files by topic (verb-related, other grammar topics, and vocabulary). I've also included the 13 "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" slideshows that I use as end-of-semester reviews for both courses. The Power Point page is http://www.northpark.edu/spanish/PowerPoints.cfm A different country is featured in every unit of the text, so I have added 40-50 links of interest for each country studied. The links are arranged topically (general, media, cities & sites, history & society, arts & entertainment). I checked every link (about 700 in all) to make sure they were all working and added a few more. There is a separate page (http://www.northpark.edu/spanish/Links.cfm ) with links of general interest. Several of these links were suggested or created by FLTEACH list members, so I thank you for posting interesting websites to the entire list when you find them! You can still access the old pages (http://campus.northpark.edu/spanish/default.htm ), but I won't be updating those pages in the future. Bricault, D. Updated web pages for Spanish.
