Title: 2007 Session in Language Documentation
Body: The University of Oregon Department of Linguistics and the Northwest Indian Language Institute (NILI) announce the 2007 session in Language Documentation June 25 - July 20 2007, Eugene, Oregon As documenting languages takes on greater importance, there is a growing need for well-trained fieldworkers who are prepared to collaborate with community members. There are few places where students can gain practical, hands-on experience. In response to this need, the Department of Linguistics and NILI have joined to offer this unique program. The UO Linguistics Department focuses on lesser-known languages and empirical work. NILI has a ten-year history of working with endangered languages, tribes and communities.

Title: Summer Workshop: Dynamic Assessment in the Foreign Language Classroom
Body: From http://calper.la.psu.edu/profdev.php?page=workshops Dynamic Assessment in the Foreign Language Classroom Monday - Wednesday, June 25 -27, 2007 .....1:30pm - 4:30pm Penn State-University Park Campus Foreign language educators and testers have been exploring ways of bringing instruction and assessment closer together. Dynamic Assessment is an innovative response to this issue whereby instruction and assessment are unified into a single process that not only reveals learners’ language ability but at the same time helps them move beyond this ability to higher levels of development. The workshop will be based on CALPER’s recently completed Dynamic Assessment in the Foreign Language Classroom: A Teacher’s Guide.
