Student Anthony Vasquez in China
Scott Wilson took a group of students to China for the Shandong Province Field School, CSULB . They are producing an 8 minute film. This film looks at how visually impaired student Anthony Vasquez learns Chinese, and has his first experience visiting China. Focusing on the group’s visit to the Great Wall of China, the film uses a first-person voice-over to connect using tactile methods to learn Chinese characters with theexperiences of tourism. Our original plan was to make a film - which has an anticipated running time of 8 minutes - focus exclusively on Anthony's experiences at the Great Wall of China. This was on the first day of our trip, before we even made it to Shandong Province. However, considering what happened at the top of Mount Tai (climbing all 6600 steps, getting stuck in a blizzard, and climbing all the way down the next day), we have decided to make that adventure a part of this film. The film is in the last phase of the process however the department anticipates that it will be completed soon. Photo and story courtesy of Scott Wilson. See More
Professor Wilson is not new at the film biz. Late in 2007 The Anthropology Department hosted its first Ethnographic Short Film Showcase. It was phenomenal. The Department recognizes the foresight of Drs. Howell and Wilson in creating the Anthropology and Film course, Anthro 478, and working with the first class of twenty-one students to help them produce nine high quality ethnographic films. A special thank you to Dr. Scott Wilson for his intensive work in the lab with students as they struggled to learn the production side of film-making while managing the theoretical framing and ethnographic expression through film.

A Tribute by Louis Robles and Friends
_________________________________________________
As a Fulbright recipient She has shared her experiences with the Women's Business Council Long Beach Chamber of Commerce and also at the CSULB International Education program. Below are some photos from that experience.
The Department of Ethics and Civic Education, Julie's host department at Comenius University, at a Christmas dinner for her Faculty (College). Julie is in the gray jacket, center back.
This is one of many classroom buildings scattered all around Bratislava for Comenius University. This one, where Julie taught two of her classes, is over 100 years old and was a Slovak orphanage until the 1950s, when it was turned over to the University for classroom space. It is located on Moskovska Ulica (Moscow Street).
A classroom inside this building, where Julie taught her aesthetics classroom. Technology we take for granted at CSULB is lacking, but with an electric plug in front and a clean white wall, she used her laptop and a tiny portable projector to show PowerPOint and other images to the class. A cleaning lady cleaned up the room before every class, emptying wastebaskets, picking up litter, and washing down the chalkboard.
Julie rented a studio in the heart of Old Town in Bratislava. Here, it's the gray high-rise in the center, with the U.S. Embassy and guard house to the left and the Czech Embassy to the right. Landline telephones take 3-4 months for installation, but the apartment building has high-speed broadband internet in every flat and cable TV with channels in English and many other languages.
Old Town Bratislava is filled with beautifully restored historic buildings, spanning the centuries. This is the 19th-century opera house at the end of Hviezdoslavovo namestie, where I spent many happy hours watching the wonderful Slovak National Ballet.

The donation of the Google Earth Pro licenses will enable us to integrate this popular and easy to use geospatial program into our curriculum. The licenses will be installed on the computers in the archaeology teaching lab for student use. Google Earth promises to become the "GIS for the masses" as it enables users to easily access free high resolution satellite imagery and combine that with data from many online sources. Applications like this are part of the wave of the future in archaeology and geography.
Hiroko said she was really honored when Miko Foard, the president of NCJLT, told her
that the Board of NCJLT decided to nominate me for the Award, but she
honestly didn't think she would get it--in the past no one in Japanese
(as a matter of fact, no one in any Asian language, I believe) got it.
Competition against so many excellent Spanish and French (and
numerous other) nominees is indeed tough. Hiroko said, "so I was doubly happy to be
chosen! I attribute this result to the fine support letters you and a
few other special people wrote for me. I thank you very, very much
for your support! "
The 25th Annual Teamwork Retreat (a collaborative effort of Associated Students, Inc. and Student Life and Development) offered 92 students the opportunity to learn strategies for, and demonstrate proficiency in, “Facing Controversy with Civility.”
The three-day retreat role modeled the diversity of CSULB, both in the students participating, as well as in the interdisciplinary and cross cultural staff. The central theme of the Retreat was explored in a number of settings and with innovative and interactive experiences. Students were challenged to confront their own biases, to risk being vulnerable, and to apply dialogue techniques, in order to open up positive pathways for dealing with difficult and uncomfortable issues.
Dr. James Manseau Sauceda, Professor in Communication Studies and Director of the Multicultural Center, helped to establish foundational guidelines and key strategies for effectively mediating conflict over controversial issues. His participation was first as keynote speaker, then as a facilitator in a number of exercises. This Retreat marks the second consecutive year that Dr. Manseau Sauceda has been part of the planning committee and a participant in the Teamwork.
Dr. Hiroko Kataoka was selected for the ACTFL Florence Steiner Awards for Leadership in Foreign Language Education. This award is very prestigious and only one person is selected among all foreign language educators in the U.S. The review process was very rigorous, evaluating the leadership in foreign language education in national, regional and local levels. Now she is the best and "number one" foreign language educator in the U.S.
D. Misako's advanced Japanese courses (JAPN 301) was selected as one of the top 10 courses among U.S. colleges and universities in the study of Japanese courses.
In a letter she received from David T. Conley, Professor at University of Oregon and Chief Executive Officer of the Educational Improvement Center Professor Conley stated that On behalf of the College Board,stating that it is my pleasure to inform you that your course, “Advanced Japanese,” was identified as one of the top 10 courses in our national study of Japanese courses conducted by the Educational Policy Improvement Center (EPIC).
In the study College Board Commission members identified the key features expected of exemplary courses in each subject. Independent reviewers then used this list to identify the best practices among college teaching as they evaluated the documents of each course. As one of the selected courses, your course has been designated a best practice course in Japanese from among U.S. colleges and universities. It will serve as a model for the redesign of the AP equivalent course.
Professor Conley further stated that Dr. Douglas should take pride in the fact that her course is among the very best in the nation in Japanese.

In collaboration with CSULB, the University of New Mexico hosted the 32nd German Summer School of New Mexico (http://www.unm.edu/~fll/german/summerschool.html), welcoming students of all ages, backgrounds, and interests dedicated to expanding their knowledge of the German language and culture.
For the third consecutive year, CSULB German Studies professor Jeff High was the program's Resident Director, and ten current and former CSULB students (Grad Students Christina Bacht, Elizabeth Eggleston, Tanya Doss, Wendy Ellingson, Stephanie Gilmore, Corinna Jardim, Ryan Sweeney; Undergrads Brenna McCormick, Brittany Swinford, Sarah Williamson) and one faculty member (Professor Roswitha Grannell) participated in the program. Serving on the Taos faculty were former CSULB German Lecturer Dr. Jennifer Hoyer (University of Arkansas), current CSULB TA Christina Bacht, and former CSULB TA Corinna Jardim (Santa Monica College). CSULB Professors Nele Hempel and Marcus Muller delivered guest lectures, as did former CSULB Lecturers Jennifer Hoyer (Arkansas) and Prof. Friederike von Schwerin-High (Pomona College), and current and former CSULB German MAs Christina Bacht, Tanya Doss and Corinna Jardim.
The Taos-curriculum consists of undergraduate and graduate courses on German Studies and German language. Students participate in courses appropriate to their level and interest, from third-year language classes to graduate seminars. Participants can focus on literature, culture, history, politics, or performing arts. In addition, the school offers a lecture series with changing themes that emulates study at a German university. The 2007 lecture series centered on "Utopia and Reality in the German-speaking World," and presented current trends in German Studies. The curriculum is further complemented by evening presentations and lectures by visiting scholars, authors-in-residence, artists-in-residence, and guest lecturers. During the entire 4 ½ week stay, all participants pledge to speak only German, both inside and outside the classroom. Due to this total immersion approach, advanced students often gain near-native fluency or advance an entire level during the program. Students in Taos can earn a Master of Arts degree in German Studies, within four to five summer sessions, or two to three summer sessions in addition to course work taken on campus.
(Picture at left: CSULB German MA Candidate Christina Bacht delivers a lecture at the German Summer School of New Mexico.)
Three two-week Teacher Training Seminars were taught by Ray Wakefield (Minnesota) Michael Höfig (Goethe Institute Atlanta), and Claudia Becker (St. Xavier University). These seminars are of interest to anybody currently teaching German or preparing for a teaching career in German, and offer hands-on advice to teachers at all levels who want to gain advanced credits, increase their oral proficiency, and enhance their overall teaching efficiency. Teachers may attend the whole session or just the second-half of the program.
Extra-curricular activities enhance the learning experience at this summer school. Students hiked the Wheeler Peak trail to more than 13,000 feet, explored the beauty of the Rio Grande River, visited Taos Pueblo, strolled through the art galleries, visited the Santa Fe Opera, attended concerts of the internationally acclaimed Taos School of Music, or just played whiffle ball and volleyball. While a traditional Frühschoppen with a string quartet from the Taos School of Music marked the transition to the second-half of the program, the end of the program was celebrated with a Talentabend, a remarkable evening of student skits, films, and performances.
Students may also obtain Language Proficiency Certification. Administered by the Goethe-Institute, these exams satisfy admission requirements of various German universities. Depending on their level, participants can take Zertifikat Deutsch (basic level), the Zentrale Mittelstufenprüfung (intermediate level), or the Zentrale Oberstufenprüfung (advanced level). This year, 96% of the students at Taos passed the appropriate Goethe test.
The German Summer School was founded in 1975 by Peter Pabisch and George F. Peters -- with the support of Ernest H. Blake, A. Leslie Wilson, the University of New Mexico, and the Goethe House New York.
The German programs at CSULB and the University of New Mexico extend their thanks to CLA Dean Gerry Riposa, whose continued support contributed to one of the most successful Taos programs to date. With 46 students, 11 faculty members, and 8 guest lecturers, the school was the largest in seventeen years.
