A bus will pick up participants at the Hyatt Regency and take them to the two institutions. The first segment of the tour is the visit is to the DLI. This school teaches many of the less commonly taught languages to our military. The DLI practices help to insure that our military personnel can use the target language effectively and can adhere the cultural norms of the country where they are based and work. At the end of the DLI, participants will be taken to MIIS. Before starting the tour of this institute, participants will be able to eat lunch close to MIIS. After lunch, participants will tour MIIS and observe one of most famous programs at MIIS, their simultaneous interpretation program. MIIS has agreed to do a demonstration of simultaneous translation for those who choose this all day program visiting both institutions. In addition to this fabulous tour, CLTA is offering a wide range of workshops on Google tools, Growth Mindset, art, using the target language, reading strategies and much, much more. Interest sessions will be posted on line by the middle of December. We think that this program will be one of the most outstanding yet! Space for the tour to the DLI/MIIS Trip is limited, so sign up early. LTA is also offering a free workshop on presenting via webinar given by Christine CLanphere, 2007 ACTFL Teacher of the Year and Nicole Naditz, 2015 ACTFL Teacher of the Year.

CLTA is excited to announce that this year’s plenary speaker is Thomas Sauer, Director of Design and Communication for AdvanceLearning, a non-profit organization focused on identifying teacher effectiveness in non-core subject areas and empowering educators to become more effective. In 2010, the World Affairs Council of Kentucky and Southern Indiana named him a “Global Visionary.” Mr. Sauer will also present an -4- interest session on Saturday. Don’t miss the opportunity to see and hear him in action. A Note from the Conference Coordinator (continued) LAMCO has chosen to have an Awards Luncheon on Saturday instead of a banquet on FFriday night because the members of your host affiliate want you to enjoy the restaurants and activities that Monterey has to offer. There will be a vegan, gluten free option for those who have dietary restrictions. he Exhibit Hall will open at 11:00 a.m. on Friday and stay open until 6:00 p.m. The Gala TOpening, sponsored by ACIS, will be held between 3:00 and 4:30 p.m. CLTA will offer hot hors d’oeuvres in addition to the traditional fruit, vegetables, dips, chips and cheeses. The Exhibit Hall will open at 8:00 a.m. on Saturday and stay open until 4:30 p.m. Many of the exhibitors will do presentations before the first exhibit break. After the first session, there will be an Exhibit Break with coffee and pastries sponsored by Santillana USA. CLTA hopes that you will take time to look for new materials and visit your favorite exhibitors. he Hyatt Regency is a nice walk from Fisherman’s Wharf. There are many Tseafood restaurants as well as the Museum of Monterey on the wharf. A short ride by cab or Uber ride away is the famous Monterey Aquarium as well as Cannery Row with its many shops and restaurants. CLTA and FLAMCO will be sending out eBlasts as we get closer to the Conference on things to do in the evenings in Monterey. s usual, we need presiders for workshops. If you would be willing to preside for one of the Aworkshops that you plan to attend, please email the Local Conference Chair, Yo Azama at [email protected]. Presiders check attendee badges in order to make sure that they have purchased the workshop they are attending. In addition, preisders help the presenter pass out materials and get help if a piece of AV equipment fails. The advantage of being a presider is that you will be sure to get a packet or CD because you will be passing them out. LTA will be offering Continuing Education Units this year from CSU, Monterey Bay. CMore information will be available at the hospitality desk at the Conference in Monterey as well as in News Flashes that will be sent out after the first of the year.

  • Hungarian American Students Exchange Programs. the Contribution of the Woodside Priory School in Portola Valley, California
    Hungarian American Students Exchange Programs. The Contribution of the Woodside Priory School in Portola Valley, California. I am Soma Fuller. I am Levente Lovász. We are the lucky ones who enjoy a full year scholarship this year at the Woodside Priory School in Portola Valley in their Hungarian Student Exchange Program. Soma: What is the Woodside Priory Student Exchange Program and how we and other Hungarian students in the past and in the future get here to study for a year, to get immersed in American, and in fact in International culture? What is this Program? When, how and why did it start? As many of you know the Woodside Priory School was founded by Hungarian Benedictine Monks 55 years ago in Portola Valley. The founder Monks fled communist suppression in Hungary after the Second World War. After years of dispersal in different parts of Europe and the United States they gathered in Portola Valley to establish a Religious Community and a School. The school started in 1957 and very quickly became a well-known private school in the area. The connection with the mother country, Hungary was very limited during the 1960s and 70s, due to the tension between communist ruled Hungary and U.S. But during the 1980s things started to become less tense and connections were established between educational institutions in Hungary and the Woodside Priory School. The idea of establishing a Hungarian Student Exchange Program started to take shape. At the beginning students arrived to the Priory through personal contact. Father Christopher Hites, who was the Headmaster of the Priory for the first 15 years and was also the Pastor of the Hungarian Catholic Mission during the 80s, started the Program.
