Press Release:
International Languages Week 2008
International Languages Week 2008 (ILW) will take place this coming week from Sunday 17 August to Saturday 23 August 2008.
Exciting things are happening in schools and communities. Language teachers from around the country will be taking ILW to the furthest corners of Aotearoa New Zealand with school-based activities and celebrations from the Far North to the Deep South.
ILW offers language teachers and students the ideal opportunity to inspire the wider community to learn more about foreign cultures and languages.
In the spirit of ILW we encourage New Zealanders to use a greeting in a different language each day. For example:
Monday 18 August - Ni
hao!
Tuesday 19 August - Bonjour!
Wednesday 20 August
- Guten Tag!
Thursday 21 August - Konnichiwa!
Friday
22 August - Buenos días!
Members of the public can find
out more about ILW activities through various online
channels and your local foreign language teachers.

official International Languages Week website is at www.international-languages-week.org.nz

Google Discussion group on ILW is at http://groups.google.com/group/languageweek
For
Facebook users, a group has been set up at http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=12082261164
