Being an international school, there were students from all over the world
at NUFS, meaning there were more languages than just Japanese and English.
Although this was the English language lounge, there were often people who
spoke French, Spanish, German, Korean, Chinese, and so on as well. Being
able to communicate with all of these people, despite having been raised
learning different languages, changes the way one thinks about
communication and how to use language to do so.

Imagine over 400 students singing and dancing in a daily program intended to help develop the English language and vocabulary. This summer program is Learning the Language in Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD. Learning the Language is being hosted at Central Elementary this year.
Since 1985, Bilingual and ESL students in C-FB have been attending Learning the Language during the summer. The purpose of the program is to develop English through the use of fairy tales, songs and movement.
The Pied Piper visits the students every day for one hour to sing songs that he wrote himself and dance, while developing oral language in kids. Each student receives a CD to keep with all the music they sing to practice at home.
Teachers use fairy tales, poems, and hands-on activities to engage kids in the learning. Kids love coming to school every day during the summer to learn and sing with teachers and the Piper. The program consists predominantly of Pre-K and Kinder students. Students in 1st-5th grades who are new to the country also attend. Older students participate in a puppet show that correlates with the fairy tale they read that week. The program is four weeks long, starting June 10 and ending July 3.
Through singing, dancing, fairy tales and reading, students in C-FB learn at high levels.

afrikaans language monument, paarl, western cape
from “artefacts”-
“Afrikaanse Taalmonument, Paarl
On the southern slopes of the Paarlberg, Paarl stands the Afrikaans Language Monument. SJ du Toit, the so-called 'father' of the Afrikaans language lies buried in the Kleinbosch cemetery in the proximate Daljosafat, hence the choice of the site.
In 1965 the Afrikaans Monument Committee, established in 1942 to this end, issued a competition for the design of this monument. The panel of assessors comprised WJ du P Erlank, Prof AL MEIRING and JDP van der Merwe, who selected the entry of the architect Jan VAN WIJK as winner.
In his conception the three pylons to the left of the approach to the monument represent the formative cultures of the Afrikaans language, namely those from Europe - Dutch, German and French. On the podium to the right are three hemispherical protrusions representative of the influence of mystical Africa. The single central marker represents the direct influence of the imported Asian [so-called ‘Malay’] slaves. Where these all meet on the level of the podium the sweep of the 57 meter pylon arises representing the melding of these influences into an ever–growing dynamic language. Directly below this pylon lies a bubbling fountain and an undulating passageway with the play of light through a myriad of appertures in the wall, representing the life-force of continuous growth. The Republican pylon to the right is directed to the African hinterland so as to engage the monument in a continuous dialogue with the continent.
Officially opened on 10 October 1975.”
i poured the craft sand left over from our ocean in a bottle activity into this tray and told T that it is special alphabet dust for him to practice writing his letters in. normally i wouldn't lie to him about stuff like this, but i don't want him to confuse this activity with his sandbox or bean bin.
Bern is another French street artist who studies typography. He almost creates his own alphabet and displays these unknown messages on street walls and uses them in crosswords.

This is a sign right outside my bank in Cambridge, right near Porter Square. It's a sign with the word "perfunctorily." I love this word. I consider it an "advanced" word, so seeing it on a "No Parking" sign in Cambridge always makes me smile and think: "Only in Cambridge!"

Every day Sarah meets with Ibu Juarni to study Indonesian. Juarni is an
excellent language helper, and has become a dear friend. One day she taught
me how to make an Indonesian meal called Kari Ayam (Curry Chicken). It has
Curry in it, but isn't spicy. It is made with coconut milk, which make it a
little sweeter. Indonesians typically would make this meal very spicy, but
because we can't handle it as spicy as they do we toned it down a little.
Here's Sarah with Juarni and her 2 girls, Riryn and Jennie.

Marshall Strabala was interviewed in el Economista ("The Economist"), a daily Spanish language business and financial newspaper, published in Madrid, Spain. Read the story on the newspaper's website at: www.eleconomista.es/evasion/noticias/6753573/05/15/La-Tor...
,Spanish to English translation of the story follows (by Google Translate)
Shanghai Tower, the second tallest skyscraper in the world
Shanghai Tower, the second tallest skyscraper in the world, with 632 meters and 128 floors, 828 meters after the Burj Khalifa (Dubai), is almost ready for its opening and dedication this summer as the largest building double facade the planet.
Although not yet decided the date of its official opening, after more than six years of construction, the works are completed to 95 percent and weeks that Shanghainese are accustomed and to see lighted this immense and twisted column of glass, complete its futuristic collection of skyscrapers.
This structure (a vertical tower of glass, coated with an outer glass facade, writhing gracefully on itself, as if it will roll, structured around a series of platforms wider ground than other floors, which follow more roughly every 15 levels) is so aesthetic and practical.
"We wanted to make the super-tower high greener and high efficient in the world, so all building elements meet at least two or three functions at once," he told EFE the chief architect responsible for its design, US Marshall Strabala, from inside the tower, still under construction.
Indeed, Strabala, with nearly three decades of experience in designing large buildings (including own Burj Khalifa, with 163 floors high, and the Zifeng Tower of Nanjing, the ninth highest in the world with 450 meters), knows that biggest challenge is to design them to withstand the strong side wind thrust loads on the structure.
Twisted surface
Hence, in part, gently twisted the outer surface of the tower, because "the external façade is the only one who sees the wind, and the way it has reduced wind loads up to 28 percent, equivalent to about 60 million of structure that we had to build. "
This design also allows for an air bag between the two walls, which functions as an excellent natural thermal insulator, especially useful in a city with humidity and temperatures between zero and 40 degrees that rarely reaches every winter and Shanghai summers.
In addition, a building destined to become one of the hallmarks of Shanghai "should be part of your time, reflect its time", so peculiar aspect has already become "the image of the building, a tower of the future "he said.
Indeed, the tower, to be called "Shanghai Zhongxin" in Mandarin ("Shanghai Center") and "Shanghai Tower" in English, is the third of the "three brothers" the municipal government planned to build symbolically in 1995 heart of Lujiazui financial district, which barely existed then.
It is the only trio of skyscrapers located so close to each other worldwide.
The other two are the Jin Mao Tower (421 meters, 88 floors, opened in 1999, and today the fourteenth world's tallest building), and the Shanghai World Financial Center (SWFC), popularly known in many languages, also in Chinese such as "Opener" (now fifth largest, with 492 meters and 101 floors, opened in 2008).
Although the last beam of the Tower of Shanghai (which in the original plan of 1995 was to be the smallest of the three) was installed in August 2013, and in fact would then be the second tallest building in the world it is not usually including new members in the list of super skyscrapers on the planet until they are in operation.
Strabala said Shanghai wants to symbolize the "three brothers" the last of China (Jin Mao, "a pagoda stainless steel"), present (SWFC, "China accepts foreign investment" because it is a Japanese building) and future (with "a transparent building, which has many places for people").
Indeed, the architect expects its Shanghai tower could accommodate about 18,000 visitors a day, between workers, tourists and guests of the world's tallest hotel (between floors 84 and 110).
The building, 530,000 square meters (including 95,000 22 967 office and commercial surfaces), has 106 lifts, the fastest of which go up to 18 meters per second to the highest tourist viewpoint of the planet (top 119), which also will open on the 121 floor terrace.
