The IWLA BulletinA Newsletter for the Members of the Iowa World Language AssociationVolume XIV No. 2Winter 2007From the President:Greetings to all! I am so honored and proudto be serving as the President of the IowaWorld Language Association. I have servedon the Executive Board for the past six yearsand have submitted a number of articles tothe bulletin. I have found that writing thisarticle, my first as President, is a bit more intimidating than others I have written.I want to extend a heartfelt congratulationsand thank you to everyone who contributed tomaking the IWLA Conference 2007 a wonderful success. It takes so many committedpeople to help make an organization successful and we are lucky to have a very dedicatedExecutive Board, Advisory Council, Bulletineditor, Webmaster and membership. I feelthere are many good reasons to celebrate thesuccess of the IWLA.And yet, there is also good reason to see theorganization as being at a crossroads. Overthe past six years of attending meetings, therehave been numerous conversations about thefuture of IWLA. The conversations have addressed concerns for the organization: Whatis our role? Where are we headed? Are wefinancially secure? Why are so many goodand so many young individuals hesitant to getactively involved? Are we attentive enoughto the issue of quality?What should we make of all of this? Onecould argue that we should not make toomuch of all of this – that the membership andDawn Fryeconference attendance totals are clear evidence that we are doing fine and we shouldsimply keep ―doing what we’ve been doing‖.In reality, I feel the posing of such questionsabout the organization is actually a sign of itshealth and vitality. I think that these questions and how the organization answers themin the next few years will determine our success in the future. I am dedicated to helpinganswer these questions as your president.Lastly, I’d like to extend my best wishes fora happy and prosperous New Year, both personally and professionally. May you continue to inspire your students and share thepower of language with them.Insidethissue .is-Conference wrap upAdvocacy reportUNI Exchange ProgramsTete a tete mentoring program

Notes from the Immediate Past-PresidentBy: Mary WestI am now officially the past president ofIWLA and I would like to put before yousome of my observations of our organizationfrom this perspective. IWLA is a great organization. Having served as president I realize now what a commitment many peoplehave made to keep us on track with our mission of providing professional developmentopportunities for teachers of world languages.Our annual conference is a huge accomplishment. Take time to think what we, as an allvolunteer organization, provide for our membership. It is the only content area meeting ofits size in the state!! It is a huge job to provide and coordinate the quality program thatwe had last fall at our annual conference.There were about 75 breakout sessions not tomention good speakers. Congratulations andthank you to all of the conference committeewho provided this opportunity for about 390registrants. BRAVO.Our next year’s conference, with its theme of―in the shadow of the capital‖ points out areality. We are going to have to become politically active and advocate for our owncause. It is our individual professional duty.Thanks to our advocacy chair, Tammy Dannand our technically astute secretary, CarrieMulvihill, about 120 letters were hand carriedto the Iowa State House to advocate for a fulltime foreign language consultant in the Department of Education. I was going throughsome old, in fact, very old minutes of the executive board during the time when our lastforeign language consultant was in attendance. It was obvious how helpful he was incoordinating meetings, organizing staff development opportunities, and supporting theactivities of the AAT organizations not tomention his presence in the Department ofEducation as an advocate for world languageeducation. He kept an eye on legislationwhich impacted our organization. In short,he was a very valuable resource. We try veryhard in our organization to do the job of apaid executive secretary with a permanentoffice and a paid lobbyist even when we areall volunteers and have full time jobs to do.A full time consultant could help us procuregrants and keep us up to date in our field. Wehave no representative from our state whenother state consultants meet at ACTFL. Youwill notice that Tammy has some more information on our website for you to write or callyour legislators. It is an election year andyour senators and representatives will listento you. Attend a local forum. They frequently have events in their districts andwould welcome attendance at these ―townhall meetings.‖ IWLA has a huge voice ifwe speak in unison. Iowa is awakening to thefact that we are a more diverse state. Weneed people who are culturally and linguistically literate in more than just English!! Letthe public know how valuable we are.The other side of the coin of support is accountability. This brings up the topic of assessment. It is not a topic to be feared but anopportunity to demonstrate how good we are.How many of us have had countless inservice programs on assessment in everythingother than second language education thanksto emphasis on science, reading and math.Most of us realize that many of today’s students are not working to achieve a ―goodgrade‖ anymore. We need other motivators.We need good assessment tools to documentprogress and we need a K-16 curriculum ifwe are going to have functionally bilingualadults. The workplace is crying for functionally bilingual adults and it is our job to produce them.Therefore we have chosen the theme of assessment for our upcoming conference. Ourkeynote speaker is Ali Moeller from the University of Nebraska. Her exciting topic LinguaFolio—Teaching for Learning, is basedon a long-term longitudinal study done atthe University of Nebraska Lincoln using aportfolio which each student builds to selfContinued on page 5IWLA Bulletin Winter 2007page 4
Exhibitor Liaison ReportIWLA Conference 2007Continued from page 5assess and document his/her own learning.The AATG has been actively participating ineducating its membership and it is time therest of us are brought up to date. It canfunction as an intrinsic motivator for language learners and has exciting potential todocument a student’s real proficiencies. Ihave taught at the middle school, highschool, community college and private college levels. I know that ―how many years‖of instruction a student has had is not an accurate predictor of proficiency. I also knowthat we have not identified very good tools toplace students in classes at the universitylevel. We need a better way.In this bulletin there is a call for proposals.All of you assess and we need to share witheach other what works. We need to haveperformance goals that are standardized andthen a way to prove that our students havemet them. I am asking you to share what youdo that works to assess student proficiency ina classroom of 25- 30 students? It is myopinion that oral assessments are particularlydifficult to develop. We have all heard aboutdata driven best practices. Let’s bring themforward to share and then when an administrator is hesitant to release you for our conference next fall, show him/her our program.It will be hard to deny your request.Of course we welcome presentations on anytopic which represents best practices and Idon’t mean to exclude anyone, but I admonish you, as you teach this year, to think aboutassessment and consider sharing your experiences with your colleagues.To have another language is topossess a second soul.CharlemagneBy: Regina Schantz & Julie WilhelmThere were 29 exhibitors, including four newones. Three exhibitors who normally attendcould not. There could be a serious spaceissue next year if there are more than 29 exhibitors.The following positive comments were received from the exhibitors: location of theconference in Des Moines, the number ofexhibit breaks, appreciation of the boxlunches, the low prices of the exhibit spaces,Friday night security, most exhibitors werehappy with the amount of traffic they had.Negative comments from the exhibitors: upper atrium location did not receive as muchtraffic throughout the conference, some didn’t like the hallway location, some prefer notto be by the waterfall because of noise, oneexhibitor commented that music from individual booths should not be allowed, exhibithours were too long both days, setup time onThursday was too late.Suggestions for next year:* Earlier setup time Thursday night* Prepare a registration packet for exhibitors with nametag and conference booklet* IWLA should be compensated for thedouble booking of the lobby area from 910 p.m. Thursday night* Rotate the location of vendors who werein the upper atrium and hallway to otherlocations* Shorten exhibit hours Friday to the end ofthe final exhibit break, or the beginningof the reception* Start exhibit hours Saturday a half hourbefore the AAT meetings or later* Post information for exhibitors on theIWLA website* Keep the conference in Des Moines for atleast four consecutive years* Start AAT meetings at 8:00IWLA Bulletin Winter 2007 page 5
A Central FocusIWLA Conference, October 5-6, 2007Un grand merci to all who contributed to theplanning and carrying out of the annual IowaWorld Language Association conference thisfall. By all accounts it was a success and thefruits of our labor were delicious! It is trulyastounding that a group of volunteers is capableof consistently providing such a quality professional development opportunity for its peers. Iwould like to extend personal thanks to theplanning board, including the local committee,program chairpersons, exhibit liaisons, membership chairpersons, Des Moines area studentmarshals, fellow IWLA officers, and manyother individuals for your hard work, diligence,and positive attitudes. You have served yourlanguage-teaching colleagues well and yourcontributions were noticed and appreciated.With the state capitol as our backdrop, it wasan opportune moment to get political with aletter-writing campaign for a foreign languageconsultant at the state level. I have already received a personal, written response from myrepresentative on the subject. And what astroke of luck to have the International FoodFestival serving up tantalizing treats in thelovely East Village during our event. I am gladthat IWLA had the occasion to help celebrate therevitalization of downtown Des Moines and takeadvantage of its offerings in cuisine and commerce.Our attendance numbers were up this year aswell as the number of presenters on the program.It is refreshing to see new presenters giving it arun as well as many college students who willbecome world language teachers in the near future. This combination of old and new blood provided a well-rounded array of programming andvaried ideas and points of view, both of whichare valuable to the continued life of our organization.The conference evaluations that were receivedwere carefully noted and passed on to the 2008committee for further improvement of nextyear’s conference in the same venue. Thank youfor your thoughtful, constructive suggestions andhonesty in assessing the conference. At this timewe already begin to look forward to next October’s event. Please go to www.iwla.net to propose your fabulous session. It is never too early!Merci encore et bonne continuation!Elizabeth Zwanziger Page2007 IWLA Conference CoordinatorSUMMER SEMINAR IN SPAINFOR SPANISH TEACHERSJune 5-20 2008Cáceres, SpainProgram fee of 1750 (estimated) includes the following:* Full room & board with a Spanish family* Transportation to Cáceres from Madrid* Weekend in Madrid (meals, hotel, entrances, guides, transportation)* Pre-departure orientation* University of Extremadura instruction, classroom space* 3 graduate credits available (estimated cost 120)Study Spanish culture and history, and the Spanish educational system.

IWLA Letter Writing CampaignDr. Carmen Sosa serves Iowa as thebilingual education consultant and has takenon the additional work of preserving the titleof world language consultant. Iowa has beenwithout a full-time world language consultantfor 15 years. We are one of few states that donot have a consultant in this area.The idea of a letter campaign to lobbylegislators for a world language consultantbegan with the ISU World Languages andCultures Teachers Advisory Council. Theiridea was set rolling when Mary West, president of IWLA at the time, contacted TammyDann and Carrie Mulvihill Carrie was theSecretary pro-term of IWLA and before entering the teaching profession, she worked atthe Capitol as a scheduler to former GovernorTom Vilsack. Carrie had expertise in the areaof letter campaigns because during her timeat the Capitol, she saw various groups lobbylegislators and the governor. Tammy is theAdvocacy Chair for IWLA.Over the course of the month of September, Tammy and Carrie worked to get theletter writing campaign ready for the conference. Carrie created a first draft whichTammy expanded into the two letters thatwere eventually sent to the Capitol. Carriecreated a database of addresses of the IWLAmembers who had registered for the conference and searched with each address for thename of the member’s legislators. Legislators’ names were then added to the databaseso the letters would be addressed to them personally. With this work done in advance, itwas much easier to merge the letters whenthe conference date arrived.At the fall conference on October 5-6,the idea of the letter writing campaign wasshared with the conference attendees at theopening session and the two letters were presented. Letter One focused on professionaldevelopment and Letter Two focused on curriculum and assessment. Attendees suppliedtheir contact information and preference forletter. After the opening session, Carrie wentback to her office and added information forany individuals not in the database, foundtheir legislators, and merged all the letters inone large file. After a trip to a copy business,the letters were printed. By the afternoon allwho had signed up in the morning had a letterto sign. More names were collected throughout the afternoon and Carrie made one finaltrip to her office and the copy center Fridayevening.Over the two days of the conferencemembers signed their letters. Reminders ofthe campaign were given at the general session and again at the closing session. By theend of the conference about 120 IWLA members signed letters! Those letters were placedin IWLA envelopes and addressed to the correct legislator. A letter was sent to Judy Jeffrey, the director of education at the Iowa Department of Education, explaining the campaign and encouraging her to contact Tammy,Carrie, or Susan Sandholm-Petersen if shehad any questions about the need for theworld language consultant.Unfortunately not all world languageteachers are allowed to attend the fall conference. Those who were unable to attend theconference or did not make it to the lettersigning table can still have your voice beheard. You can help support this campaignby going to the IWLA website,www.iwla.net, and clicking on the―Advocacy‖ tab. There you can choose, printoff, and send a letter to your legislators. Tofind your senator and representative, go tohttp://www.legis.state.ia.us/FindLeg/. Afterdownloading your letter of choice, change thetext that is italics, sign, then send your letter.In addition to the letters IWLA members can also make phone calls to their legislators to discuss this issue. It is only throughrepeated contact and reminders will we haveany hope of getting a world language consultant. Remember, it is the legislators’ job torespond to constituents. They will not realizethere is a need unless we tell them.Together we can make a difference!IWLA Bulletin Winter 2007page 7
Northern University High School Exchange ProgramsBy: Mary Doyle – Spanish and French Instructor & Lowell Hoeft – InternationalStudent Teacher Coordinator, University of Northern Iowa, Cedar Falls, IowaStudents enrolled in world languages classesat Northern University High School, on thecampus of the University of Northern Iowa,have a unique opportunity to participate inoverseas school exchange programs.They are much different from the majority ofhigh school programs which focus primarilyon travel and which include hotel stays.NU’s program focuses on a family staythroughout the duration of the trip, schoolattendance, day excursions, and a return visitby the foreign students to be hosted by theNU students in Cedar Falls.These exchanges are organized by the worldlanguage teachers themselves who also serveas chaperons during the stay in the foreigncountry. This helps to keep the costs down.Students interested in participating must bein their third year of language study. Travelto the country takes place during a two-weekspan in the month of March, which includesNU’s spring break.Elizabeth Zwanziger , French instructor, begins her yearly preparations during the firstfew weeks of the fall semester. This includeschecking schedules and fares for air transportation between Cedar Rapids and Paris, France, and train schedules for excursions whilein the country. The family stay, for studentsstudying French, takes place in a Paris suburb called Bussy-Saint-Georges. Studentsare hosted by French families who have astudent attending the high school in this city.The American students become a part of thefamily and follow the class schedule of theirnew brother or sister at the Lycee MartinLuther King. In addition, students willtravelas a group by train with their chaperon forday excursions to visit other cities and sightsin the country.In April, during the French students’ springbreak, the American students host the Frenchstudents in their homes and they attend classes with them at NU. While in the Midwest,the French students travel to Mall of Americaand visit various Iowa cities and towns.The exchange for Mary Doyle, Spanish instructor, begins almost immediately after thestart of the school year in the fall. She ispartnered with Colegio San Jorge in Arica,Chile, and for her, the Chilean students arrivein Cedar Falls in September due to the datesof the school year in the southern hemisphere. Each Chilean student is hosted by a NUstudent and a variety of culture excursionsare set up for these students. They travel tothe state capital in Des Moines, to the QuadCities and to Minneapolis and St. Paul. TheChilean group stays for 4 weeks. The NUstudents still travel to Chile in March. Students are hosted by Chilean families fromColegio San Jorge. Each student has a brother or sister near his or her age. The NU students shadow their host at school for severaldays with the opportunity to be guest speakers in the English classes there. The schoolhosts a welcome reception for the NU students also. In addition the students visit theUniversidad de Tarapaca in Arica with acampus tour and a chance to speak to the TESOL students there. During the stay in ChileMrs. Doyle and the students take part in anumber of cultural excursions including atwo day trip to a national park in the Andesmountains, a trip to Peru, a regional tour withmuseums visits, a tour of an olive growingoperation, etc. Many events with host families take place with students and familiessharing experiences, new foods and culturalactivities.Prior to the elimination of the Russian program at Northern University High School,students studying this language exchangedwith a school in St. Petersburg, Russia.For further information, contact: Mary Doyle at mary.doyle@uni.eduor Elizabeth Zwanziger at elizabeth.zwanziger@uni.eduIWLA Bulletin Winter 2007page 8

Articulation: A Challenge to Work TogetherBy: Patricia Calkins, IWLA President-ElectI am writing this essay in San Antonio,where I am attending the ACTFL conference and representing Iowa at the AATG’sChapter Presidents’ Assembly. Discussionat the meeting centered on an issue that Ithink poses both a great challenge and agreat opportunity for the world languagecommunity in Iowa: articulation. Articulation is perhaps one of the most importantissues in helping students develop real proficiency in a language. Students need tostart language learning early, but they alsoneed to keep learning the language for anextended period of time, and this is wherearticulation becomes most critical. Studentsneed to be able to move vertically from oneeducational level to the next and horizontally within levels without having to repeatwhat they have learned or miss criticallearning steps and be at a disadvantagecompared to other learners.Of course I am most familiar with the disconnect that some students feel leavinghigh school programs and entering collegeprograms. Why do we find that some of ourmost promising high school language students don’t continue language study at ourcolleges and universities, or why do theystop once they have completed the language requirement? At least part of theproblem comes when students opt for an―easy A‖ or are placed too low by a placement exam: both scenarios lead to a stagnation of learning which results in boredomand demotivation.Another problem is that some colleges anduniversities (including my own) allow students to fill their language requirementthrough high school study. We thus oftenfind students who have had three or moreyears of a language in high school nevereven try a college language course. Onepossible reason for this is that they mayassume that a college language course isalways based on literature, that it will notbe fun, and that they will not find it interesting. All of these possibilities show that thereis a real lack of understanding about whathappens in the college classroom—and justas importantly, a lack of understanding onthe part of professors about what happens inthe high school classroom. These misunderstandings can only be cleared up throughconcrete discussions among all languageteachers and other stakeholders.A tool such as LinguaFolio can be very useful in such a discussion. LinguaFolio provides an easily understandable learning sequence that can be followed by students, parents, teachers, professors, and administrators.The ―can-do‖ statements of LinguaFolio canprovide a useful structure for discussion ofstate-wide performance objectives at eachlevel, syllabus and curricular design, and assessment strategies. The portfolios developedas part of LinguaFolio can help students bothto understand themselves as language learners and to concretely understand what theyknow, how well they know it, and what theirnext language learning step should be. Theportfolios can also help with placement at thenext language program: the teacher can seeevidence of the student’s achievement, andthe student can more readily self-place intothe correct learning level.Moreover, a serious debate about articulation(and LinguaFolio) could provide our language community with an energizing focusacross educational forms and across languages. When was the last time there was agalvanizing issue for teachers in all the languages that are taught in Iowa? And whenwas the last time we saw K-12 and collegeand university teachers equally involved in alanguage issue? Let’s take up the challengeof tackling articulation and find our commonground.IWLA Bulletin Winter 2007page 10
