Language and Culture for
International Business

A Business Language Workshop

for Foreign Language Educators

February 17-19, 2011

Today’s foreign language educators recognize the need to

understand the importance of international business, as well

as business language and culture, in order to adapt their

curriculum to reflect these new trends in the field of foreign

language instruction. For the 16th year, The University of

Memphis is pleased to welcome language educators from

around the country to the Language and Culture for

International Business Workshop!

The Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures at

The University of Memphis has enjoyed a long history in the

teaching of business language. The faculty has valuable

expertise in this particular field at both the undergraduate

and graduate levels. We have developed new courses and

devised pedagogical methods to help students master

business language.

Subject: Fulbright Classroom Teacher Exchange Program

Fulbright Grant Opportunity for French Teachers

In 2010, the Fulbright Classroom Teacher Exchange program will enter its 64th year. Sponsored by the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, the Fulbright Teacher Exchange Program provides opportunities for K-12 teachers to participate in direct one-to-one exchanges of positions with colleagues from other countries for a semester or academic year. Grant opportunities for French teachers include year-long exchanges in France and Switzerland. By living and working in the cultures of their host countries, exchange teachers gain an understanding and appreciation of the similarities and differences in national cultures and education systems. Fulbrighters enrich their schools and communities with a new awareness of other cultures and of events occurring in different parts of the world, providing students and citizens with new perspectives about the world in which they live. Participating teachers can also enhance their language abilities, while exposing their US students to a native speaker of French.

Please visit www.fulbrightteacherexchange.org for more information on the program and application forms. The application deadline for the 2011-12 academic year is October 15, 2010. Please email Stephen Money, Program Officer, at smoney@aed.org, with any questions.

J'enseigne le français dans un lycée dans l'Orégon et je cherche à acheter le DVD pour la première saison de la série française "Sous le soleil". Je l'ai déjà cherché partout, sur Amazon, FNAC, ebay, etc... mais je crois que cette série n'est disponible que pour les lecteurs DVD zone 2, qui ne marchent pas aux EU. Est-ce que quelqu'un pourrait m'aider à la trouver pour la zone 1?

Voici mon mail si vous pouvez m'aider:
