5th and 6th Grade Language Arts students are currently reading My Side of the Mountain by Jean Craighead George. The book tells the tale of a teenage boy living in the Catskill Mountains who raises a falcon hatching to help him hunt. On Monday, students experienced falconry first-hand through the educational program Talons! A Bird of Prey Experience. Lorrie from Talons! shared a variety of raptors with the students and talked at length about their behavior, both in the wild and as companions to humans. During lunch, all students were invited to the gym to watch the birds fly.

Language-Arts - The Garrison - March 5th, 2010
I was completely sucked in and mesmerized by the orchestral sounds of Vancouver's Language-Arts when they played The Garrison last Friday night.

Are you interested in languages? My friend started a Language Quiz blog with different recordings or pictures for you to guess what language is it.
The screen capture here is one of the quiz... which posted the message I used to set as Auto Reply when I go to sleep or away from my computer.

Natural Language by Jennifer Macklem and Kip Jones, located in front of the Kelowna Public Library. This work rotates on an axis and is very easy to turn, but I couldn't tell if a wind was capable of turning it due to the lack of breeze.
Heinz Kloss 1967, "Abstand languages and Ausbau languages" in Anthropological Linguistics (Harvard : Harvard Press)
----------------------------------------
Dachsprache ['roof language'] means a language form that serves as standard language for different dialects, mostly in a dialect continuum, even though these dialects may be so different that mutual intelligibility is not possible on the basilectal level between all dialects, particularly those separated by significant geographical distance.
Kloss has also used the term pseudo-dialectized abstand language for cases where a variety is so different from its Dachsprache that it ought to be regarded as a separate language on abstand grounds, but is nevertheless treated more like a dialect in social practice.

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.

Just got to see my Grandma and Grandpa this weekend and it was a wonderful visit. I was so excited for Ben to meet them- probably as excited as they were to meet him!
Urmia (Turkish language: Urmu, Urmiyə, اورمیه; farsi: ارومیه) variously translitterated as Oroumiyeh, Orūmīyeh and Urūmiyeh, is a city in and the capital of West Azerbaijan Province, Iran. At the 2006 census, its population was 577,307, with 153,570 households.
The city lies at an altitude of 1,330 m above sea level on the Shahar Chay river (City River). Urmia is the 10th most populated city in Iran. The population is mainly mainly Azerbaijanian Turkish(85-90%), with Kurdish, Assyrian Christian, and Armenian minorities.
Urmia is situated on a fertile plain called Urmia Plain, on western side of Lake Urmia; and eastern side of Turkish border and marginal range of mountains.
Urmia is the trade center for a fertile agricultural region where fruit (especially Apple and Grape) and Tobacco are grown. An important town by the 9th cent., Urmia was seized by the Seljuk Turks (1184), and later occupied a number of times by the Ottoman Turks.

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
Or-Omcode∞.1.0 represents a new Universal Language de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universalsprache derived within the Doctine Of Essense by
de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Christian_Friedrich_Krause
Encoding Unicode into the Or-Omcode∞.1.0 all traditional languages become semantically transformed within the new universal language parameters. portal.or-om.org/art/UnicodemeetsOrOmCode/tabid/6319/Defa...
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
