Title: Summer Institute: Language and Culture in Sync: Teaching the Pragmatics of a Second Language
Body: Language and Culture in Sync: Teaching the Pragmatics of a Second Language July 27-31, 2009, CARLA/University of Minnesota, Minneapolis A truly daunting challenge for second language learners is to adjust their language use so that it is appropriate for different socio-cultural contexts. How, for example, are learners supposed to address strangers, close friends, or people of higher social status in that culture? While acquiring discourse practices can take learners many years, research has shown that the process can be facilitated through explicit instruction. This institute provides practical insights for teachers on how to enhance the learning of pragmatics. Participants will have hands-on opportunities to develop activities and materials for the classroom. This institute is designed for K-16 ESL and foreign language teachers, material developers, curriculum coordinators, teacher educators, administrators, and researchers. More information about this institute is available on the CARLA website at http://www.carla.umn.edu/institutes/2008/pragmatics.pdf Information about registration: http://www.carla.umn.edu/institutes/register.html

Title: Patriotic Multilingualism: National Language Service Corps
Body: From http://www.nclrc.org/about_teaching/topics/feature.html The government continues to introduce initiatives that highlight the importance of foreign language programs among teachers, students and the U.S. population as a whole. In 2006, the National Security Education Program (NSEP) created the congressionally mandated pilot program-- the National Language Service Corps (NLSC) in an effort to gauge the interest of multi-lingual Americans willing to serve language communities and the government in times of national need. The National Language Service Corps is a group of individuals united by the fundamental belief that language has a tremendous impact on who we are; who we can be; and what we can do together. In addition to making a significant and worthwhile contribution to the nation and its language communities, Members will become part of a unique language network of service-minded individuals. All Members must be U.S. Citizens who are at least 18 years or older, possessing language expertise and a genuine desire to help their fellow language communities.
