For more than 45 years, <strong>Concordia</strong> <strong>Language</strong> <strong>Villages</strong> has been on the<br />
cutting edge of language immersion and continues on that distinctive path<br />
of educational leadership. this year, a national call for leadership in language<br />
education turned the spotlight even brighter on the <strong>Villages</strong>. <strong>Concordia</strong> College<br />
president, pamela Jolicoeur, attended the summit on international education<br />
at the department of state in January where president Bush committed to<br />
the national security <strong>Language</strong> initiative and the importance of linguistic<br />
competency. the <strong>Villages</strong> set <strong>Concordia</strong> apart from the 120 other colleges<br />
represented, with language training beginning at the precollegiate level.<br />
Because of this national focus on strategic languages, doors began opening<br />
and new opportunities came our way. this required us to move quickly and to<br />
strategically realign our program delivery and related support systems<br />
First, we launched the fourteenth <strong>Language</strong> Village, Al-Waha, in october from Capitol Hill in Washington,<br />
d.C. then we were awarded a $250,000 appropriation from Congress through the department of state’s youth<br />
exchange division to develop the arabic <strong>Language</strong> Village. this new Village carries high hopes for bridge-building<br />
between and among our arab neighbors.<br />
in november, i joined Minnesota governor tim pawlenty’s trade delegation to China. With 120 delegates,<br />
it was the largest group of state business and educational leaders ever sent to China on a trade mission.<br />
Former Sen Lin Hu villager, amy Jordan from Hibbing, Minn., also participated.<br />
no one doubts the economic and political importance of China, and the call for Chinese in american high schools<br />
greatly outpaces the number of qualified teachers. We have offered Chinese for over 20 years and have just<br />
doubled the number of summer youth sessions in 2006 due to escalating demand. <strong>Concordia</strong> <strong>Language</strong> <strong>Villages</strong><br />
has the educational resources and knowledge to assist others in addressing this national challenge.<br />
this spring president Jolicoeur announced that i would join the president’s Cabinet as Vice president for<br />
international development. i look forward to lending my voice to the strategic initiatives that the College and<br />
the <strong>Villages</strong> can embark on together. this new role will ensure that the institution’s longstanding commitment<br />
to K-16 language learning will evolve and mature.<br />
as long as there is a clear vision and an unwavering commitment to mission, everyone can feel revitalized by the<br />
ventures and adventures that come our way to help shape the world.<br />

Preparing youth<br />
for a global society<br />
<strong>Concordia</strong> <strong>Language</strong> <strong>Villages</strong> is probably the most identifiable expression of <strong>Concordia</strong><br />
College’s desire to prepare leaders for a global society. a key element of our strategic plan<br />
is to strengthen the College as an international institution. asking Christine, who is a proven<br />
visionary and “doer” in this area, to be a part of our senior leadership team was a logical move<br />
to increase internationalization across all divisions of the College.<br />
this year we were one of only five schools in the nation to achieve the senator paul simon<br />
award for Campus internationalization by naFsa: association of international educators. the<br />
department of education reports that two percent of all american students study abroad while<br />
54 percent of <strong>Concordia</strong> students study internationally. Currently we rank as number 10 among<br />
baccalaureate institutions. We want to aim even higher.<br />
as a college we have worked to extend financial aid to international students, develop a global<br />
studies major, expand global requirements in core courses, increase faculty development for<br />
global teaching emphasis (including the third World), add language houses on campus and<br />
increase faculty research on outcomes of international study. plans are underway to expand<br />
and connect the 14 <strong>Language</strong> <strong>Villages</strong> more intentionally with campus programs.<br />
in november, i also traveled to China with the Minnesota private College Council which<br />
reinforced the convictions i already had regarding the importance of strengthening our<br />
international emphasis. We need to sharpen the focus of our programs and have evidence of<br />
outcomes for students. as an ultimate outcome, more students who want to understand the<br />
world will be drawn to <strong>Concordia</strong> and its mission to influence and shape the world.<br />

a place that Makes for Peace<br />
Blocks of color adorned with distinctive squiggles appeared on<br />
international day t-shirts, throughout the festival-ready Markplatz,<br />
on signs and on walls. each one represented a tenet of the <strong>2005</strong><br />
international day theme, Creating Cultures of peace. For the second year,<br />
<strong>Concordia</strong> <strong>Language</strong> <strong>Villages</strong> participated in the unesCo-led decade<br />
for a Culture of peace and non-Violence for the Children of the World<br />
(2001-2010) to promote programs in the field of education for peace and<br />
non-violence.<br />
unesCo defines a culture of peace as having a set of<br />
values, attitudes, modes of behavior and ways of life<br />
that reject violence and prevent conflicts by tackling<br />
their root causes to solve problems through dialog and<br />
negotiation among individuals, groups and nations.<br />
When children feel safe and nature is tranquil, is it possible to<br />
understand conflict in the world and discuss peaceful solutions? gavriel<br />
“gabi” solomon, a world-renowned peace educator and researcher from<br />
the university of Haifa, israel, came to the <strong>Villages</strong> in July <strong>2005</strong> to pursue<br />
this question, as his research had primarily focused on peacemaking<br />
in areas of intractable conflict. He was collaborating on a study with<br />
Skogfjorden dean tove dahl, a professor of psychology at the university<br />
of tromsø, norway, and <strong>Concordia</strong> College professor Lisa sethre-Hofstad<br />
about the importance of “place” for learning about peace.<br />

Key staff members from many different <strong>Villages</strong> participated<br />
in a workshop led by gavriel on peace education and research.<br />
then, with the help of <strong>Concordia</strong> College students dane Furfaro and<br />
Meghan Johansen, tove and her team interviewed 44 villagers, past and<br />
present, short- and long-term. the thoughtful answers from the survey<br />
group were transcribed during winter by four former villagers and staff<br />
currently at the university of tromsø: danaca Heidorn, Melanie Meinzer,<br />
scott Meyer and rachel peterson. the fruits of all this labor are more<br />
than 500 pages of transcriptions that summarize villagers’ experiences,<br />
learning, and growth, both during and after Skogfjorden.<br />
Funding for this project comes from <strong>Concordia</strong> College, <strong>Concordia</strong><br />
<strong>Language</strong> <strong>Villages</strong>, the university of tromsø and the norwegian research<br />
Council.<br />
the data are still being analyzed, but preliminary results have already<br />
been presented and will contribute to a book on peace and place.<br />
Creating responsible—and peaceful—global citizens is what we strive<br />
to do at the <strong>Villages</strong>. and, in many respects, this research project shows<br />
that the mission is being met.<br />

Honoring a Past director<br />
of the villages: Vern and May Mauritsen<br />
Vi Takker Vernon og May Mauritsen<br />
for at denne skaten I skogen ble til. Anno 1970.<br />
We thank Vernon and May Mauritsen<br />
for making possible this treasure in the woods. Year 1970.<br />
the rosemaled plaque honoring Vern, second director of the <strong>Language</strong><br />
<strong>Villages</strong> (1967-1971), and his wife, May, now hangs on the outside wall<br />
of Gimle, the first building constructed at Skogfjorden, the norwegian<br />
<strong>Language</strong> Village on turtle river Lake.<br />
on July 8, <strong>2005</strong>, more than 100 people gathered to celebrate the Village<br />
years when Vern served as director. a Montana native and <strong>Concordia</strong><br />
College music education major, Vern first became a high school band<br />
director in sunburst, Mont. the band earned state and regional honors,<br />
and they attended the portland, ore., rose Festival as the honor band in<br />
1952. during this time, Vern and May also directed “glacier Wilderness<br />
Camp,” a summer family camp near glacier national park.<br />
Loving a challenge, Vern’s next directing stop was the construction<br />
business. He began sunburst Builders Mart, a construction and<br />
building materials firm, and he developed one of the first prefabricated<br />
construction systems in Montana.<br />
Just when Vern and May felt “footloose” and ready to retire in the mid<br />
1960s, another directing opportunity lured them to the <strong>Language</strong> <strong>Villages</strong>.<br />
<strong>Concordia</strong> College president Joseph Knudson and <strong>Concordia</strong> officials,<br />
Bill smaby and roger swenson, persuaded Vern to become the first<br />
full-time director.<br />
“By nature, i like new projects,” Vern said. “We were so taken by the<br />
operation. We thought maybe we should give this a whirl.”<br />
the couple didn’t come prepared with language education, but they came<br />
with enthusiasm to direct young people to their full potential. “it’s like<br />
preparing a concert,” said director Vern. “You work hard to get everything<br />
ready, and once the concert takes<br />
place, it’s just kind of a pleasure.”<br />
Vern created a fertile climate for<br />
success by hiring the right staff,<br />
pulling resources and people<br />
together and then letting them<br />
create. His most challenging<br />
task was to “put a burr under<br />
the saddle” of the skeptical<br />
<strong>Concordia</strong> Board of regents to<br />
construct a permanent <strong>Language</strong><br />
Village on an 800-acre tract of<br />
land on turtle river Lake near<br />
Bemidji, Minn., which was<br />
purchased by the College in 1966.<br />
He not only managed to sway<br />
the regents but also the sons of norway, who helped with the facility’s<br />
authentic details and contributed $40,000 to the project. the momentum<br />
surged with a $200,000 grant from the Bush Foundation.<br />
as the big pieces came together, Vern visualized year-round use for<br />
Skogfjorden, planting seeds for use of the buildings as a conference<br />
center. Skogfjorden was dedicated on July 19, 1970, which set the pace<br />
for building more culturally authentic <strong>Villages</strong> in the following decades.<br />
in 1971, Vern and Mary returned to their property on Flathead Lake where<br />
they stayed for more than 30 years. at the <strong>Villages</strong>, Vern left a top-notch<br />
staff of deans and administrators to continue the program.<br />
the director’s beat still continues for the Mauritsens. the couple has<br />
established the first endowed scholarship for the fourteenth <strong>Language</strong><br />
Village, Al-Waha, where the arabic language and culture will delight<br />
generations of young people.<br />

Building a strong Foundation for Growth<br />
<strong>Concordia</strong> <strong>Language</strong> <strong>Villages</strong> is going where it hasn’t gone before—<br />
language immersion for pre-kindergarten children, spanish<br />
proficiency for healthcare professionals, global competency workshops<br />
for international Baccalaureate schools.<br />
a new leadership team will launch the program to new frontiers.<br />
Christine schulze, executive director since 1989, has known all along that<br />
the <strong>Villages</strong> has enormous untapped potential to offer more language and<br />
cultural immersion sessions. Lack of time and resources, however, has<br />
detracted from exploring emerging opportunities.<br />
“the demand for language education is currently at an unprecedented<br />
level in the united states,” Christine says, “and we found ourselves<br />
besieged by phone calls for professional training programs and satellite<br />
<strong>Villages</strong> beyond Minnesota, and we didn’t have time to discuss the options.”<br />
Last fall, dr. pamela Jolicoeur, <strong>Concordia</strong> College’s president, asked<br />
Christine to design a bold vision for the <strong>Villages</strong>’ future with a new<br />
administrative structure. Christine sought advice from key internal<br />
players and also from Ceos in the corporate and not-for-profit sectors.<br />
the creative work began as Christine set the stage for growth by drafting<br />
a new organizational chart. she also constructed a five-year financial<br />
plan to insure that an upfront infusion of capital from <strong>Concordia</strong> would<br />
propel the <strong>Villages</strong> forward and guarantee a solid plan of return on<br />
investment.<br />
“almost everyone in the organization has gone through a job description<br />
change, and we are still evolving many of the departments so that<br />
operations keep pace with programmatic innovation,” says dennis<br />
stugelmeyer, director of business affairs, at seven months into the new<br />
networked divisional structure.<br />
Change will most likely be the status quo as the organization determines<br />
how to promote the 14 languages and new program options.<br />
“For an organization that was predominantly focused on summer youth<br />
programs for over 45 years,” says Martin graefe, director of yearround<br />
programs,”it is exciting to be actively engaged in conversations<br />
with parents who want pre-K language immersion for their children,<br />
or healthcare professionals who are interested in developing spanish<br />
proficiency, or teachers in international Baccalaureate schools who<br />
desire global competency workshops.”<br />
as staff works to develop business program plans, new Village sessions<br />
emerge. patricia thornton, director of summer youth programs, says that<br />
“we need citizens who are ‘world fluent’ now more than ever, and the<br />
restructuring allows us to reach more kids and provide more access to<br />
those who might not be able to afford the experience otherwise.”<br />
donna Clementi, 31-year staff member and director of education and<br />
research, concurs and desires to advance the research agenda so the<br />
<strong>Villages</strong>’ best practices can be identified and shared with language<br />
teachers across the country.<br />
in 2010, the <strong>Villages</strong> will celebrate 50 years of preparing young people<br />
for responsible global citizenship and will be well positioned to remain<br />
an international leader in language education. “We have always been<br />
defined by a strong sense of community, with a ‘village’ as the core<br />
unifying experience,” Christine says, “and we look forward to expanding<br />
our circle of responsible, global citizens.”<br />

setting up the Village was a team effort: painting signs, decorating<br />

the players as a new arabic <strong>Language</strong> Village opened in July 2006 at<br />
Camp trowbridge, a facility near Vergas, Minn., which has long been<br />
leased by <strong>Concordia</strong> <strong>Language</strong> <strong>Villages</strong>.<br />
Long before the islamic period, arab poets<br />
developed arabic into a language of richness<br />
and flexibility. associated with geographical<br />
terrain, Al-Waha means “the oasis.”<br />
dr. Muhammad s. eissa, ph.d., an arabic<br />
scholar who has taught at the university of<br />
Michigan, northwestern university, uCLa,<br />
and the american university in Cairo, serves<br />
on the steering committee for the arabic<br />
<strong>Language</strong> Village.<br />
“Al-Waha is the metaphor for an atmosphere<br />
free from anxiety,” he says. “it is not a<br />
mirage or misleading reality but represents<br />
a source of comfort and nourishment—a place where the intellect can<br />
focus on positive meanings of life.”<br />
Village officials announced the arabic <strong>Language</strong> Village at a news<br />
conference on Capitol Hill in october <strong>2005</strong>, which was hosted by<br />
senator norm Coleman of Minnesota. also speaking on behalf of the<br />
initiative were tom Farrell, deputy assistant secretary of state for<br />
academic programs, and ambassador Hassouna of the League of arab<br />
states. Village deans, administrators and steering committee members<br />
canvassed the Hill and embassies for a day of advocacy about the<br />
<strong>Villages</strong>, while a day of Fun took place for youth at a d.C. hotel.<br />
“We recruited the steering committee from leaders in both the<br />
arab-american community and the arabic language education field<br />
from across the u.s.,” says dr. ross King, dean of the Korean <strong>Language</strong><br />
Village and committee co-chair. “they have articulated an urgent need<br />
for arabic language education at the K-12 level.”<br />
in February 2006, the <strong>Language</strong> <strong>Villages</strong> sponsored an event with leading<br />
arabic language educators at the science Museum of Minnesota in<br />
st. paul. they announced a $250,000 appropriation from Congress to<br />
support curriculum writing and cultural artifacts for the new arabic<br />
<strong>Language</strong> Village. other donors include the Mosiac Foundation, saudi<br />
aramco and many private individual gifts.<br />
ghazi abuhakema, a native speaker of palestinian arabic and a fluent<br />
speaker of Modern standard arabic, serves as dean of Al-Waha. He<br />
earned an undergraduate degree at al-Yarmouk university, Jordan,<br />
an M.s. from st. Michael’s College, Burlington, Vt., and a ph.d. from<br />
the university of texas, austin. Having taught various levels of arabic<br />
at ut-austin, Middlebury College and the Middlebury arabic summer<br />
<strong>Language</strong> school, he is interested in the role of culture in learning a<br />
foreign language and in the theories of language acquisition.<br />
Modern standard arabic, the language of formal settings and writing,<br />
will serve as the foundation for curriculum planning with exposure to<br />
colloquial arabic in various dialects (egyptian, Levantine, gulf and north<br />
african). Worldwide, 200 million people speak arabic, and it will be the<br />
fourteenth language offered at the <strong>Villages</strong>.<br />
“arabic is one of the top five languages spoken in the world today, yet<br />
few american schools teach it at the pre-collegiate level,” explains<br />
Christine schulze, executive director. “We believe the time is right to help<br />
young people learn arabic and better appreciate the rich cultural and<br />
linguistic tradition. the understanding they gain will help them enrich<br />
international dialog in years to come.”<br />

across the atlantic<br />
the east-facing slope of the cube-shaped building greets the rising<br />
sun. the back of the building, built with heavier materials, contains<br />
the dormitory areas. Lighter materials create the common shared spaces<br />
in front and face the south for solar gain. the walls have the latest<br />
thermal protection technology, including vacuum insulation. another<br />
unique feature includes a green roof, with sedum originally planted by<br />
german villagers and adult program participants last year. the BioHaus<br />
emphasizes <strong>Concordia</strong> <strong>Language</strong> <strong>Villages</strong>’ commitment to sustainability,<br />
which means building with cutting edge, advanced technology to<br />
minimize long-term environmental impact, while creating a healthy,<br />
comfortable residential setting at the same time.<br />
the BioHaus Environmental Living Center, modeled on germany’s<br />
Passivhaus standards, uses 85 percent less energy than comparable<br />
u.s. structures. the application of these standards have been<br />
revolutionizing housing markets and the renovation of older buildings<br />
in europe for about 15 years.<br />
described by architects as “klein aber fein,” small but fine, the structure<br />
will house 28 people and impact the environmental education of more<br />
than 1500 youth and adults who attend Waldsee every year.<br />
Learning will be active in the BioHaus as german villagers cook, clean,<br />
sleep, play and explore in this low-energy-use building. they will use an<br />
interactive metric monitoring system to take the building’s “vital signs”<br />
and engage in scientific experiments and environmental activities.<br />
With help from german environmental staff, villagers will discover<br />
“best practice” approaches to sustainable living and formulate personal<br />
plans to reduce their own “environmental footprints.”<br />
during international day in 2006, Waldsee hosted all 14 <strong>Villages</strong> for a<br />
global earth summit. the BioHaus will be a showcase for a role-playing<br />
scenario in which Village countries discuss and negotiate issues such as<br />
climate change and environmental scarcities.<br />
the BioHaus also provides a place for <strong>Concordia</strong> College to develop<br />
hands-on environmental studies for students. plans are also underway to<br />
collaborate with the Wolf ridge environmental Center and the university<br />
of Minnesota’s graduate program in environmental education.<br />
<strong>Concordia</strong> <strong>Language</strong> <strong>Villages</strong> engaged intep, LLC, a construction and<br />
architectural consulting company specializing in sustainable building<br />
design to help create the BioHaus. intep was founded in Zurich,<br />
switzerland, in 1979 by people with a passion for buildings in the natural<br />
environment and the people who inhabit them. in <strong>2005</strong> the deutsche<br />
Bundesstiftung umwelt (dBu), europe’s largest foundation promoting<br />
environmental education and sustainable living, made its first grant ever<br />
in north america: a matching grant of $650,000 to create the BioHaus.<br />
in addition, the <strong>Villages</strong> has received funds from the Kresge Foundation,<br />
albert W. Cherne Foundation and the Home depot foundation to help<br />
meet the cost of building and curricular elements totaling $1,300,000,<br />
as well as many in-kind donations from environmental construction<br />
companies such as reHau, amvic Building systems, BasF, Bosch<br />
siemens Hausgeraete, sto Corp., Müller Fensterbau/optiwin, siemens,<br />
intep LLC, and Zetah Construction.<br />
“We believe that sustainability is as much about culture as it is about<br />
science,” says dan Karl Hamilton, dean of Waldsee. “through the<br />
unique blend of environmental and cultural immersion, the BioHaus<br />
will underscore the connections between the environment and<br />
sustainability and peace and security.”<br />
all in all, life for villagers in the BioHaus will be unvergesslich—<br />
unforgettable.<br />

shaping a Plan for Mori no Ike<br />
Sannin yoreba bunju no chie …<br />
Whenever three people gather, great ideas come forth …<br />
When the Mori no Ike advisory board met, the great ideas did pour forth just as<br />
the old Japanese proverb states. Creativity steered the conversation as the<br />
newly formed Japanese <strong>Language</strong> Village advisory board strategized the Village’s<br />
role in the state of Japanese language education in the united states.<br />
Made possible by a grant from the u.s.-Japan Foundation, the group represented<br />
national experts in the fields of Japanese language and culture in grades K-16.<br />
the third meeting of the year coincided with July international day.<br />
patricia thornton, director of summer youth programs and chair of the advisory<br />
board, expressed appreciation that former Japanese deans and key staff served<br />
on the board and helped advance current goals.<br />
“However, it was equally important,” she said, “to include individuals who were<br />
completely new to the <strong>Villages</strong> and could fulfill the role of ‘critical friend’ for<br />
Mori no Ike.”<br />
as an added cultural bonus, the board visited Minneapolis institute of arts to<br />
see the Japanese collection and attended a special performance by Mu daiko<br />
taiko drum ensemble. at the same event, founding Mori no Ike dean, ann Junko<br />
McCarthy, received the elgin Heinz outstanding teacher award from david Janes,<br />

sailing into swedish<br />
the excitement of the swedish midnight sun, summer cabins and<br />
sailing on blue waters came to the swedish <strong>Language</strong> Village,<br />
Sjölunden, in summer <strong>2005</strong> with seglingsskola, or sailing school.<br />
thirty villagers learned the parts of the boat, how the wind patterns<br />
affect the sails, how to steer and how to get a capsized boat up-right—<br />
all in swedish.<br />
With thousands of lakes in sweden and a majority of<br />
swedes owning summer residences near water, sailing<br />
takes center stage in their lifestyle. it is also common<br />
for swedish young people to attend summer sailing<br />
camps.<br />
“We are interested in expanding the cultural and<br />
linguistic impact of our Village by offering diverse authentic activities,”<br />
says Village dean allison Magda spenader. “the language of sailing is<br />
also the language of respect for nature and gives us a chance to raise<br />
environmental awareness.”<br />
sailing school villagers need to have a basic knowledge of swedish<br />
(at least one prior Village session), and they must be physically strong<br />
enough to work with the boats. early lessons include floating wooden<br />
model boats in a kiddie pool. then, villagers pair with sailing instructors,<br />
and by the end of the week, they are able to go out and sail on their own<br />
in groups of two. some boats are named after norse gods such as Loki<br />
or odin and others carry family names related to donors.<br />
sailing instruction runs from three to four hours each day and villagers<br />
are allowed to sail as a “free-time” activity. summer 2006 also featured<br />
a master sailing class for those who had completed the basic course or<br />
who may have had sailing training elsewhere. Villagers received special<br />
seglingsskola patches when they completed the program.<br />
“Sjölunden is committed to teaching swedish, both to help villagers<br />
maintain heritage connections and also to connect villagers with modern<br />
sweden,” says Magda. “offering sailing challenges older villagers with<br />
something new and prepares them for their own trips to sweden in the<br />
future.”<br />

Never too old<br />
at the <strong>Concordia</strong> <strong>Language</strong> <strong>Villages</strong>, language immersion doesn’t<br />
end at age 18. Quite the contrary, adult immersion programs flourish<br />
at the <strong>Villages</strong>. For some, it’s a way to brush up on skills for traveling<br />
abroad.<br />
“Many participants are planning a trip to norway and come to us first,”<br />
says Kari Berit gustafson, leader of the norwegian adult and Elderhostel<br />
programs.<br />
Leader of the French adult programs, François Fouquerel, adds that<br />
immersion programs motivate some adults to return to school and pursue<br />
a degree in language.<br />
Berit finds that adults often have a preconceived idea that language<br />
learning is difficult for adults. the Village experience switches that<br />
notion to action and fun. the intentional mix of conversation time,<br />
language lessons and activities provide opportunities to use language.<br />
adults also appreciate the retreat facility in the north Woods.<br />
“it puts you in a very relaxed setting,” says Karla Wagner, Minneapolis,<br />
Minn., a german and norwegian program participant. “You are away<br />
from your normal responsibilities and can focus on immersing yourself<br />
in language and culture.”<br />
the adult programs connect learners from all corners of the united<br />
states and Canada who share a passion for language and culture.<br />
they build lasting friendships.<br />
“i’ve found,” Karla says, “that i enjoy coming back and visiting with a<br />
number of fascinating people whom i would never have met otherwise.”<br />

to the <strong>Villages</strong>.<br />

French-speaking African cultures.<br />
A complete listing of all the adult language and cultural immersion<br />
programs, including a number of new language offerings,<br />
