Lager Waldsee: Concordia College's Summer Language Village
Many who Attend this Camp also earn High School credit ...rsb
ALUMNI PROFILES: MEET KATJA
Former villager and current staff member at Waldsee, Kate Katja Bussert attends Wellesley College and works in its theater department as a jack-of-all-trades. She does everything from building sets to directing productions, purchasing lumber and balancing budgets. Katja also has a long history with theater at Concordia Language Villages.
While attending German classes at the Germanic-American Institute’s Saturday School in St.Paul, Minn., nine-year-old Katja came across a brochure forWaldsee and begged her mother to allow her to attend. Katja found the perfect combination of the three things she loved in Waldsee’s Märchenwald program for experienced German speakers: theater, King Arthur and German.
As the years passed, her language skills grew alongside her love of the theater. Many villagers who attend Concordia Language Villages’ programs as young children transition to a high school credit program at the age of fourteen. For Katja, the financial burden this would cause meant such a program was likely out of the question. But through the generosity of donors and the caring staff who knew her so well, Katja was nominated for and was awarded a Max Kade Foundation scholarship. (It doesn't have to be expensive. The NKHS German Club also offers a scholarship. Just ask!)
Katja remembers the day that she realized that she might be able to attend Waldsee with the help of a scholarship. It was her very first day of high school. Even though the first day of ninth grade is overwhelming for most students,Katja’s day went well. After school her volleyball team won their match, and to top it all off her mother was there to see the game. Such a great day couldn’t possibly get any better. But when her mother told her that there was an opportunity for a scholarship to Waldsee, she burst into tears of joy!
It wouldn’t be the first year that Katja had a three-hundred day countdown to camp. It also wouldn’t be the last year she earned a scholarship. But that first summer attending a four-week credit program would prove to be an amazing summer. It was that summer that would catapult her into the apprentice program and ultimately onto staff where she would have the chance to work with the people who had seen such potential in a lovely, enthusiastic young person.
Katja hopes to study abroad in Oxford next year and has credited much of her mentality about not feeling limited, for any reason, to the wonderful experiences she has had at Concordia Language Villages. As she so aptly put it, “The point of CLV is to learn a language. If you’re committed to that dream, somehow it will just work out!”

2014 German National Exam: Comments anyone?
I'd like to share a summation of comments on this new online version of the German National Exam with you, which came from Pres. of the MASSACHUSETTS (RI) FLA, J. Douglas Guy....
(Bold emphasis, paragraph breaks and translations are my own...RSB)
RE: National German Exam -- Timing
One really has to question why the National German Exam was revised the way it
was, and why the difficulty level increased so exponentially to be nearly
absurd. It is one thing to try and adhere to ACTFL Proficiency Standards and
Europäische Referenzrahmen and construct exams with authentic materials---all
good things to try and do. It is completely another to be out of touch with
what's the normal proficiency of a second, third or fourth year high school
student, write exams that conform to the aforementioned constructs but are so
beyond kids' proficiency levels that they're only going to make them feel
incompetent and stupid, and also make them question what their teachers are
teaching them.
And we're supposed to pay for this?
Yes, I know, this is the first outing for revised NGEs, but when the testing commission gets back to
the drawing board--and they have a lot of redrawing to do-- they had better
include a whole bunch of regular high school teachers from regular high
schools to advise them on what are normal expectations for grades 9-12. Even
Deutsche Welle offers "langsam gesprochene Nachrichten" (News read slowly)
and we have the technology to slow down delivery of authentic speech without distortion, so
why wouldn't we do that?
Finding authentic video and audio that is within
the range of standard H.S. comprehension is going to be devilishly hard to do.
But this isn't the A.P. exam. Let's get that straight. And it isn't a test
to make test writers feel good about enforcing abstract proficiency
guidelines. This needs to be the test for the high school everyman. If it
isn't, and this year's wasn't, we have no reason to continue subscribing to
the exam. That does no one any good, neither AATG, nor the kids, nor the poor
lone wolf German teacher who is often fighting against very great odds to
keep attracting kids and keep his/her German program above water.
There is considerable work that needs to be done on NGE 2014/15.
An die Arbeit, Leute. (Back to work, folks!)
OK Leute. Sollen wir diesen Examen auch naechstes Jahr schreiben?
