Grand Corps Malade - Je Viens De Là Lyrics - 0 views

  •  
    "On peut pas vraiment dire qu'on choisit son lieu de naissance Ce que vont découvrir petit à petit les cinq sens Moi, un jour mes parents ont posé leurs valises, alors voilà Ce sont ces trottoirs qu'ont vu mes premiers pas Je viens de là où les mecs traînent en bande pour tromper l'ennui Je viens de là où, en bas, ça joue au foot au milieu de la nuit Je viens de là où on fait attention à la marque de ses textiles Et même si on les achète au marché, on plaisante pas avec le style Je viens de là où le langage est en permanente évolution Verlan, rebeu, argot, gros processus de création Chez nous, les chercheurs, les linguistes viennent prendre des rendez-vous On n'a pas tout le temps le même dictionnaire mais on a plus de mots que vous Je viens de là où les jeunes ont tous une maîtrise de vannes Un D.E.A. de chambrettes, une répartie jamais en panne Intelligence de la rue, de la démerde ou du quotidien Appelle ça comme tu veux mais pour nous carotter, tiens-toi bien On jure sur la tête de sa mère à l'âge de neuf ans On a l'insulte facile mais un vocabulaire innovant Je viens de là où, dans les premières soirées, ça danse déjà le break Je viens de là où nos premiers rendez-vous se passent autour d'un grec Je viens de là où on aime le rap, cette musique qui transpire Qui sent le vrai, qui transmet, qui témoigne, qui respire Je viens de là où y a du gros son et pas mal de rimes amères Je viens de là où ça choque personne qu'un groupe s'appelle "Nique Ta Mère" Je viens de là et je kiffe ça, malgré tout ce qu'on en pense A chacun son territoire, à chacun sa France Si j' rends hommage à ces lieux, à chaque expiration C'est qu' c'est ici qu' j'ai puisé toute mon inspiration Je viens de là et je kiffe ça, malgré tout ce qu'on en pense A chacun son territoire, à chacun sa France Si j' rends hommage à ces lieux, à chaque expiration C'e

ThinkBalm publishes business value study « ThinkBalm: Immersive Internet insi... - 0 views

  • Nearly 30% of survey respondents (19 of 66) said their organization recouped their investment in immersive technologies in less than nine months, once their project(s) launched.
  • The top motivations for investment in immersive technology in 2008 /1Q 2009 were enabling people in disparate locations to spend time together, increased innovation, and cost savings or avoidance.
  • Early implementers are choosing the simplest use cases first. The most common were learning and training (80%, or 53 of 66 respondents focused on this use case) and meetings (76%, or 50 of 66 respondents). Some intend to take on more complex use cases in 2010 or 2011.

  • Immersive technology won out over a variety of alternatives primarily due to low cost and the increased engagement it delivers. The leading alternatives were Web conferencing and in-person meetings, followed by phone calls.
  • Work-related use of the Immersive Internet is in the early adopter phase. Before it can pass into the early majority phase, practitioners and the technology vendors who serve them must “cross the chasm.” The most common barriers to adoption are target users having inadequate hardware, corporate security restrictions, and getting users interested in the technology.

NEA: World Languages - 0 views

  • "The fact that our students study a language from grade one not only teaches them how to learn languages, it gives them the mindset that languages are just as important as any other subject," says Janet Eklund, now in her 20th year at Glastonbury, where she's one of two Russian teachers.
  • "All along, we're working to make them not just language proficient, but culturally aware," says Oleksak. "We always remind them that they have to learn more than just the words to relate to people from other cultures."
  • "There's a Chinese saying, that if three people pass by, one of them is your teacher. We learn from just about every experience we have," says Wang. "Then we make sense of it through our language."

  • Asia Society's Shuhan Wang cautions against a "language of the month" approach for districts working to build their language programs. It's more important, she says, to build on community resources and to do what you can to make language learning real-world and relevant to them.
  • Presidential candidate Barack Obama hit on some deep-seated anxiety when he remarked in July that we should emphasize foreign language learning from an early age.
  • "The U.S. will become less competitive in the global economy because of a shortage of strong foreign language and international studies programs at the elementary, high school, and college levels," the Committee for Economic Development stated plainly in a 2006 report. "Our diplomatic efforts often have been hampered by a lack of cultural awareness," the report went on to say. The world is becoming so interrelated, if we don't teach our young other languages and cultural values, says Wang, "We are denying them access to the new world. It is just plain and simple. If we continue to view language learning as for the elite, for the "smart ones," or for the family who can afford to pay for it, we are really widening the gap."
  • What does it say about America that we are the only industrialized nation that routinely graduates high school students who speak only one language? Frankly, it says that if you want to talk to us—to do business with us, negotiate peace with us, learn from or teach us, or even just pal around with us—you'd better speak English.
  • "The norm is still either no foreign language or two years in high school," says Marty Abbott, director of Education at the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages.
  • Foreign language programs are often among the first things cut by urban school administrators desperately adding math and reading classes to raise test scores.
  • "It's time to reassess what 'basic skills' really means for the 21st century," says Asia Society's Wang.
  • Not only will students learn new vocabulary in the target language, but they get to work on the concepts they need to master for other classes, and yes, for high-stakes tests. That's how they do it in Glastonbury, says Oleksak: "We pre-teach, co-teach, and post-teach what's going on in the elementary classroom."
  • The kids reason out what you get when you add three butterflies plus four butterflies: Seven, yes, but really it's practice in Chinese and math, as well as a reminder that caterpillars turn into butterflies.
  • Right now, districts like Glastonbury—with an articulated, sequential program spanning grades 1–12, state-of-the-art language labs, and all the support an administration could give—are the exception.
