Title: Drama and Language: A Workshop for Spanish Teachers
Body: An Open Invitation to Teachers of Spanish: Language begins with the desire to communicate. Desire born from conditions fundamental to all human beings across all cultures. We are looking for twenty innovators. Twenty teachers eager to find new ways to reconnect themselves and their students to language’s first principals. We have designed a workshop for the curious and we are inviting you to join us in a summer of exploration. The Marsillach Acting Academy has experienced considerable success using acting techniques to bring life and immediacy into classrooms of students struggling with a new language. Our experience has led us to design a twofold curriculum for English speaking teachers of Spanish. In our Summer Performance Workshop set in Spain 's historically rich Castilla La Mancha, teacher participants will undertake a role by Spain ’s most legendary playwright in a 3-week acting intensive. Working with Cristina Marsillach, Artistic Director of the Marsillach Academy in Madrid, as well as scholars and theatrical professionals associated with the El Festival Internacional de Teatro Clásico de Almagro students will receive lectures and hands-on instruction leading to a production of Bodas de Sangre - By Frederico Garcia Lorca on the stage at Almagro, a beautiful, classical theater from the 16th century.

Title: Global Migration Information
Body: No matter what language or level you teach, or where you teach it, chances are you will meet immigrants learning a new language or studying their native language in a new place. Perhaps your students will go on to teach in other countries. This rich resource provides information about immigrants in every part of the world. From http://www.migrationinformation.org/about.cfm The Migration Information Source provides fresh thought, authoritative data from numerous global organizations and governments, and global analysis of international migration and refugee trends. A unique, online resource, the Source offers useful tools, vital data, and essential facts on the movement of people worldwide. Working with a team of international correspondents, we chronicle global migration movements, provide perspectives on current migration debates, and offer the tools and data from numerous global organizations and governments needed to understand migration. We do this in a way that is accessible to researchers, policy makers, journalists, and other opinion shapers. Our advisory board and other prominent migration scholars who contribute to The Source include some of the most respected voices in the migration and refugee fields. The Source also relies on the good will of several global organizations and governments who make their data and research publicly available on our site. The Migration Information Source is a project of the Migration Policy Institute. For more information, visit http://www.migrationinformation.org .
