I'm sending you this online link to an article I wrote, and that was just published, about the Montclair High School's Spanish Club's field trip to a Spanish-speaking city .... 20 minutes from home. This theme of using local resources to teach so-called "foreign" languages (which, of course, are not foreign at all; they're right outside our own front 
door) is one that I've been doing a lot of writing and presenting about. I'm looking to expand on this, so if any of you are aware of other case studies that you think could be highlighted, please let me know!
