Participants discussed the Fulbright program, life in Bandung, professional opportunities in the area for the ETAs, and learned about
the collaborations between the American Corner and the English Language Fellow program.

Hindsight is Always 20/20 examines the history of American political discourse through the
metaphor of vision. Drawing from the annual State of the Union (SOTU) addresses given by
presidents to Congress, Hindsight consists of a single Snellen-style eye chart for each president
who gave a SOTU address. Instead of the typical characters present in an eye chart, the
piece employs words drawn from their speeches, presented in order of most frequently used
(top line) to least frequently used (bottom line). The result is a startlingly clear snapshot of the
lexicon of each presidency, containing a mix of historically topical keywords and the rhetoric
unique to each president. For this exhibit, 16 of the 43 limited-edition letterpress prints are shown.

The English language has hundreds of thousands of words. These words have work to do. They take their places in the dictionary, ready to serve, wherever and whenever you need them. Some are deployed often. Others only stand and wait.
This week we’ve summoned some of the words who have been patiently waiting for their turn in the dusty pages of the dictionary. Say hello to them. Put them to work. They are handy. They are happy to serve. They will do whatever you ask them to do, but please use them only for the good.
Today's word is agathism, from Greek agathos (good), which also gave us agathokakological and the name Agatha. Earliest documented use: 1830.
An optimist would say that everything is for the best. An agathist, on the other hand, would say that what’s happening right now may be unfortunate or evil, but, ultimately, it will all end well.

Hardly any Translations of Foreign Works in the United States
Are the United States regressing into cultural isolation? This is what American writers and linguists are afraid of, with hardly any translations from foreign authors being published in the U.S. According to the former Nobel Prize winner, Portuguese Jose Saramago “world literature is made by translators”. However, only 3% of the books that appear in the United States are translations from foreign languages. This figure also includes non-fiction books. Overall 340 foreign fiction books are published by American publishing companies every year: an appallingly low number! It was as far back as the Cold War when the last boom of published translations in America occurred, with the public wanting to understand issues beyond the Iron Curtain. Nowadays critics such as the famous Spanish translator Edith Grossman, speak of a “linguistic apartheid” in the U.S., while others such as the British author Tim Parks consider the lack of translations to be a new form of internationalism.
Students used all of their five senses to take in and celebrate cultural differences from around the world Thursday, April 23 at the Central Campus Commons.
The Language school is designed for international students. The concept is growing and communication. Slip-level classrooms show the process of learning a language. It creates a social environment with moments for chance encounters to encourage students to communicate and practice their language skills.
Different spaces provide good furniture and an environment for learning languages. A sloping green lawn provides ideal relaxing and congregating spaces for students.
I went into London to take a weekend Spanish class to help on my holiday. The classes were in a language school normally used for teaching English and this was on the wall, so I learnt some things about English as well as Spanish.
UW-Madison’s Language Institute hosted World Languages Day on November 14, 2013 at Union South. This exciting, college-for-a-day experience introduces more than 600 Wisconsin high school students and their teachers to many of the world languages and cultural topics offered at UW-Madison. The event, which features faculty, students and staff, aims to inspire students to pursue a second or third language regardless of their educational and career goals.

Mickey Smith explores themes of history, knowledge and place with large-scale photographs of bound volumes of periodicals—giving viewers an entirely new way of looking at a familiar world. Her quest is to document this information in its concrete visual form before it disappears completely into cyberspace. Smith works in series, which she appropriately calls Volume, creating single images, diptychs, triptychs and multi panel installations. For New Language, Smith has expanded her reach with a work entitled Collocation No. 4 (Today), a mural-scaled work comprising 50 images of gray and yellow journals entitled Today and Tomorrow, installed, unframed, in a grid format.
