Urmia or (Turkish Language: اورمو, Urmu, Orumiyeh, Urmiye, Urmiya) is a city in Northwestern South Azerbaijan (Iranian Azerbaijan) and the capital of West Azerbaijan Province. The city lies on an altitude of 1,330 m above sea level on the Shahar Chaye river (City River). Urmia is the 10th populated city in iran and 2nd of Azerbaijanian Turks provinces after Tabriz. Urmia is the trade center for a fertile agricultural region where fruit (Specially Apple and Grape) and Tobacco are grown.An important town by the 9th cent. Urmia was seized by the Oghuz Turks (11th cent.), sacked by the Seljuk Turks (1184), and later occupied a number of times by the Ottoman Turks.The name Urmia or Urmu is thought to have come from Sumerian tongue, the earliest known civilization in the world located in southern Mesopotamia. Ur was a principle Sumerian city. Some believe the name is derived from Syriac. Ur, meaning "cradle," and mia, meaning "water". Hence, Urmia, situated by a lake and surrounded by rivers, would be the cradle of water.The population of Urmia is predominantly Azerbaijanian Turks (over 90%), but with Kurdish,Assyrian and Armenian minorities.

Bangladesh celebrated International Mother Language Day on 21 February placing garlands at the Shaheed Minar, or the Martyr's monument, at the Dhaka University Campus. First commemorated as Language Martyrs’ Day it is a day of remembrance reserved for the young men who were killed in 1952 when police opened fire at a student’s campaign to establish Bangla as the language of the then East Pakistan. UNESCO declared it 'International Mother Language Day,” in 1999. Dhaka, Bangladesh. February 21, 2010.
Not great pictures, but I had so much fun watching the sign language interpreters re-enact the songs that the Hillbillies were playing. The lady was SO into it, it was genuinely fun to watch. This was Ghost Riders in the Sky and during the "yippie kay-yay, yippie kay-yo" part she did this slow motion lasso move? And it was so cool.

The Spanish language, which until recently was inferior in popularity to German and French, is confidently moving towards the status of the most widely spoken language in the world and is very close to the first place, which is still occupied by English. As the Spanish language is gaining popularity, many people are taking steps to learn it. In today's world, many learn languages not from physical language centers, but from online schools and online resources and apps. Many resources are on the Internet, so people can easily access them, sometimes even free of charge. Apps are especially useful if you're looking to learn the language but not necessarily speak it. It all depends on your goals with the language. Below we will talk about how to learn Spanish online and its advantages.
Today, more than 470 million people speak Spanish in the world and this figure is steadily increasing every year. For perspective, Spain only has a population of 46 million. www.spanish55.com/blog/the-best-ways-to-learn-spanish-online

UNICODE 5.1.0 meets Or-Omcode∞.1.0
Unicode represents the Tower ob Babel en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_of_Babel In computing, Unicode is an industry standard allowing computers to consistently represent and manipulate text expressed in most of the world's writing systems. Developed in tandem with the Universal Character Set standard and published in book form as The Unicode Standard, Unicode consists of a repertoire of more than 100,000 characters, a set of code charts for visual reference, an encoding methodology and set of standard character encodings, an enumeration of character properties such as upper and lower case, a set of reference data computer files, and a number of related items, such as character properties, rules for normalization, decomposition, collation, rendering and bidirectional display order (for the correct display of text containing both right-to-left scripts, such as Arabic or Hebrew, and left-to-right scripts). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UniCode

Our students Chris and Kieran at the Master of Arts in Digital Technologies for Language Teaching collaboratively reflect on their experience on doing activities on an online Virtual World. Read their thoughts:
I found the tutorial in Small Worlds incredibly engaging, if a bit surreal! We first met in the “MA for DTLT” space and sat around discussing the pros and cons of using SW for language learning. What struck me was how engaged I was when in this virtual world and also how less self-conscious I was. I liked the informal manner of the discussion too, and Kieran (or “Captain”, as he named his avatar) was on form and the humour being used by us all had me laughing a lot at my computer screen. Learning should be fun, so that is another positive aspect of SW.
The picture below is from the first tutorial and shows us (or our avatars rather) relaxing on the virtual beach. Although this looks like we are doing nothing, the discussion was about language learning believe it or not!
There are obviously many positives and negatives when using virtual worlds for learning and I think Kieran may be more vocal about the drawbacks (so over to you Kieran :-)). The lack of an audio option was noticeable, as was the slight frustrating occurrence of speech bubbles overlapping, although this can be overcome by opening the chat box at the bottom of the screen.
Chris
As Chris has pointed out, I am usually the more critical one when it comes to applications as such. Firstly, I found this application, although somewhat fun, a bit outdated (the software). It was running at 10 FPS at best and I found myself more focused in trying to get my avatar to move and follow simple commands than engaging in the discussion with the group. I agree with Chris and found that the lack of audio in this communicative software was a negative, particularly for the purpose of our MA in DTLT meeting. However, live forums, and discussions ages have been around for years and they all rarely include live audio chat. A discussion board could hold over 100 users so an audio input may cause more chaos than what these platforms already have.
I tried to step away from my negative attitude to see how this can benefit language students. To summarise, I feel that this would be great as an additional project for students to interact with each other and practice the target language. This platform can be one that allows mistakes and promotes peer to peer correction. This would be particularly appropriate for those students who lack confidence and have anxiety. This could be a way for them to engage with their peers, while maintaining anonymity.
From a teachers perspective, it would be great if a platform could record or send a feed of the discussions to the teacher so that the language can be monitored. This would of course need to have each student's consent, but would this effect the way students interact if they know they are being monitored? Can a teacher really involve themselves at all? If students are aware of this, they could fall into the Hawthorne effect, by demonstrating fabricated behaviour to appease the teacher, which will effect their language input.
Overall, this was a good activity and I feel that if developed correctly for the purpose of language students, a platform like this could shape a whole curriculum for those studying from overseas.
Bloomsburg University’s Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology program recently promoted literacy with Danville Head Start students at the Aphasia Center in Danville, using resources from the BU Toy Library for a joint therapy session with Aphasia patients.
Aphasia is an impairment of language, affecting the production or comprehension of speech and the ability to read or write resulting from brain injury most commonly from a stroke. #CollaborativeLearning www.bloomu.edu/gradschool/speech-pathology

As well as the french on this sign we also saw many shops in the Old Shanghai recreation that had German on the signs, as well as English, and, of course, Chinese.
We went to Shanghai the first weekend in April to visit friends and take in some big city life.
This game is similar to musical chair. Instead of chairs, old newspaper is used. Players have to stand on the paper which is folded to smaller pieces as the game progresses. I don't use chairs anymore because we broke some already. :-)

this is my favourite among all the croppings shown so far, but... what do u think???
Crop done to "leave the adults in still", cut out that "back-stepping guy" in the background (see body language / Adults, + Child 1 / img_1149), + bring in more of the child
Here, the child becomes more of the "main subject", while the adults take a more "backstage" presence (compared to the other ("body language / Adults, + Child 1") crop).

Speech-language and pathology students use hand puppets to help develop literacy skills in children at a Head Start center in Plymouth. Eighteen students from the National Student Speech Language and Hearing Association (NSSLHA) chapter at Misericordia University helped promote early literacy skills when they conducted a special reading project at the Head Start New Street Center in Plymouth. The Misericordia students, all members of the five-year speech-language and pathology (SLP) program, read one-on-one with the children, ages 3 to 5, and provided them with a hand puppet and a book to take home.
