Meeting the Communities Standard on Study Abroad ........ 139 Teresa Bell ix Preface Unlock the Gateway to Communication The 2014 Central States Conference on the Teaching of Foreign Languages took place in St. Louis, Missouri with the cooperation of the Foreign Language Association of Missouri. The 2014 conference focused on ways in which foreign language teachers, “unlock” or help to open up lines of communication between their students and people who speak a language other than the native language of their students. Foreign language teachers do so not only by helping students to learn how to express themselves through oral and written communication, but also through cultural knowledge of the target culture. For students to become globally competent citizens, they need to know not only how to communicate through oral and written communication; they must also understand the nuances of a culture. An understanding of the products, practices, and perspectives of a culture are equally important to function in a given culture. The 2014 Keynote speaker was Dr. Brandon Wiley, the Executive Director of the International Studies Schools Network for the Asia Society. Dr. Wiley energized the attendees by speaking about teaching for global competency and the critical role that foreign language instruction plays in creating globally competent citizens. Dr. Wiley followed up his keynote address with a session entitled “Six School-Wide Strategies to Globalize Your School.” The CSCTFL 2014 conference featured 28 workshops and more than 170 sessions. Nine of the 17 central states were represented by “Best of…” sessions. Several presenters from the 2013 conference returned to re-present their session as an “All-Star.” The sessions and workshop topics represented at the 2014 conference included the connection to Common Core in the foreign language classroom, the use of technology, teaching for communicative competency, lesson planning, assessment, the integration of culture in the curriculum, and the use of literature, art, music, and film in language classes. The authors who submitted articles for the 2014 CSCTFL Report addressed the 2014 conference theme, “Unlock the Gateway to Communication.” The articles in the 2014 Report pertain to developing communicative competency and cultural competency. By focusing on developing communicative competency and cultural competency, foreign language teachers are able to shape their students into citizens who will be globally competent and be able to communicate and interact effectively in a global society. The authors explain how to achieve these goals through the use of technology in teaching, studying abroad, the use of target language in the classroom, and the role of a textbook in the classroom while promoting communication. Julie Jezuit 2014 CSCTFL Program Chair xi Unlock the Gateway to Communication Stephanie Dhonau University of Arkansas at Little Rock This year’s volume of the Central StatesReport offers a variety of articles focusing on topics of current interest to colleagues in K-16 that focus on various ways and means that researchers and practitioners attempt to “Unlock the Gateway to Communication”. The articles in this year’sReport offer a variety of reviews of contemporary literature and research-based suggestions for improving not only communication, but also intercultural competence and technological use in instruction. Intercultural Experiences to Unlock the Gateway to Communication In the first section of the volume, three articles share the common theme of interculturality in which intercultural competence and the corresponding challenges of cross cultural encounters are a major focus. In the first article, Moeller and Nugent explore the literature on both intercultural competence and intercultural communication competence,

The majority of these studies have focused on the interaction between a local language and a non-local language. In this project, I propose an analysis of the mixture of two world languages (Spanish and English), which can be categorised as both local and non-local. I do this through the analysis of the enormously successful reggaeton genre, which is characterised by its use of Spanglish. I used two data types to inform my research: a corpus of code-switching instances in top 20 reggaeton songs, and a questionnaire on attitudes towards Spanglish in general and in music. I collected 200 answers to the questionnaire – half from American English-speakers, and the other half from Spanish-speaking Hispanics of various nationalities.

New documents on crimes of Lithuanian collaborators during the Second World War / Трагедия Литвы: 1941−1944. Сборник архивных документов. − М: Алексей Яковлев, 2008. − 288 с. − Англ. ISBN 978-5-903588-01-5 The previously unpublished materials from Russian archives shock even 60 years after the events had taken place. Death seems to be a happy deliverance when contemplating the sufferings and torture, that the innocent citizens of Lithuania had to endure during the years of the Nazi occupation. Reading the evidence of the eyewitnesses, one understands, why people would ask for death in order to stop the monstrous torture and insult they were subjected to. Not only the hated Soviet and party functionaries, who were “guilty” of establishing the Soviet regime in Lithuania, not only the Jews who are always “guilty” of everything for the mere reason of being Jewish, but also the Polish, clergy, people with mental disorders, old people, and babies – all of them were totally eliminated. Lithuania was turned into a “factory of death”. The documents in this collection constitute a tiny part of the wealth of material found in the archives of Russia, Lithuania, Germany and other countries.
