Title: German Project Idea
Body: An AATG listserv user contributed the following virtual project idea: I think this project has enormous potential at all teaching levels. As of now, my first year students have created portfolios which include the following: 1. A laminated student ID. I used a digital camera to photograph them, and then had them write their German names and "semi-authentic" Munich addresses. 2. We used mrlodge.de to find furnished apartments all over Munich. Maps and photos of each apartment are provided by the site. The students had to label the rooms in German and print out photos of the rooms. 3. I posted the Munich S Bahn and U Bahn map on Blackboard. They are learning how to get from "their apartments" to places of interest in Munich. 4. I went on the Web and found a centrally located Gymnasium which posts the daily lunch menu. Many of the offerings are Bavarian, but we used Google Image to find pictures of everything they hadn't heard of. 5. I posted the link to the Munich telephone book and they have used it plus Google to figure out their Postleitzahl and then locate neighborhood stores and theaters. Some of the pastry shops and butcher shops have great web sites! They also created telephone numbers. Parks, R. [AATG-L] Fantastic class project with enormous potential at all levels! American Association of Teachers of German listserv (AATG@LISTSERV.IUPUI.EDU, 23 May 2007).

Title: News Article: Field Trip to Spanish-Speaking Area Near School
Body: From http://www.montclairtimes.com/page.php?page=14673 Spanish trip with a twist Wednesday, April 25, 2007 By RUTH KUNSTADTER Monica Lavosky’s Spanish Club students from Montclair High School just got back from a Spanish trip. In the town they visited, they met and conversed with native speakers in Spanish, shopped in local stores, and tasted local foods. Lavosky had assigned a scavenger hunt that had the teenagers scouring a Latin American market for ingredients to make a dinner recipe, asking for directions in Spanish from a local store owner, and capturing key information from Spanish-language newspapers, postcards, billboards and store signs. To complete the scavenger hunt, they had to find a music store and learn the name of the number one song (“La Llave de Mi Corazón”) and the artist who sings it (Juan Luis Guerra). They topped off the day with a meal featuring yucca and other novelties that many of the students had never even seen, much less tasted. All in all, it was a complete cultural and linguistic immersion for the Montclair students. The catch? They never left New Jersey.

Title: News Article: Austin Schools Overlook 2000 English Language Learners
Body: From http://www.statesman.com/news/content/news/stories/local/05/16/16bilingualed.html Austin schools overlook 2,000 English language learners: New database created to improve system caught discrepancy. By Katie Humphrey AMERICAN-STATESMAN STAFF Wednesday, May 16, 2007 A database created to help Austin school officials monitor students who have limited English skills has revealed that as many as 2,000 were never evaluated to see whether they needed bilingual education or English as a second language services. About 20,000 students in the Austin district participate in bilingual education or ESL. State law requires the district to evaluate within 20 days the needs of students who indicate that a language other than English is spoken at home. Such students may qualify to take state achievement tests — which they must pass for promotion in some grades — in Spanish. The district launched the online Language Proficiency Assessment System in January to streamline the tracking of students who have limited English skills, which had previously been a paper-based process. About six weeks ago, district officials realized that some students who had said that a language other than English was spoken at home were never tested. Officials are still determining the scope of the problem. Read the entire article at http://www.statesman.com/news/content/news/stories/local/05/16/16bilingualed.html .
