2. 國際大學聯盟提供新的翻譯課程
---------------------------------------------------------------
通過我們的合作夥伴國際大學聯盟的入口網站Universia.net，我們很高興地為使用者提供32門課程的西班牙和葡萄牙語版本。這種合作將可以使MIT OCW可以擴展到非英語國家，如巴西、智利、阿根廷、墨西哥和秘魯。
國際大學聯盟位于西班牙的馬德里，受到西班牙議會、高等教育科學研究處以及31所大學的共同承諾和支持。現在的會員包括10個國家（阿根廷、巴西、哥倫比亞、智利、西班牙、墨西哥、秘魯、葡萄牙、波多黎各和委內瑞拉），724個大學會員。其影響領域覆蓋了全世界約1千萬大學生和高中生，畢業生、教師和管理者。建立Universia.net的目的是提供獲取和大學教育相關信息的新渠道，支持新技術在教育中的應用，鼓勵教育和技術創新，並提供一個西班牙和葡萄牙語大學之間交流的平臺。
Universia新近發布了4門新的課程（西班牙語和葡萄牙語），包括：
西班牙語：
葡萄牙語：
讀者們每個月可至西班牙語與葡萄牙語網頁尋找四個新的上線課程。
3. 深度探究：日本語言課程系列
---------------------------------------------------------------
每月新聞組將為訂閱者提供一門特定課程的深入指導。本月，我們將深入研究 課程21F.501: 日語入門 I, , 課程21F.502: 日語入門 II, and , 課程 21F.503:中級日語 I. 。這三門課程來自 MIT外國語言和文學研究。這些課程由Eleanor H. Jorden和Mari Noda主持講授，參用印刷教材日語：口語 1
課程21F.501: 日語入門 I 包括了日語：口語 1的第1-6課，涉及獲取會談、閱讀和寫作的基本技巧。這一部分強調積極主動的日語學習，而不是被動的知識。目標不僅僅是簡單地學習語法和詞彙，而是獲取準確、恰當、自發應用日語的能力。在學習資料 部分，學生學習 平假名 和 片假名（日本語的音標符號），然後是大約50 個漢字 。在考試部分，麻省理工學院的Yoshimi Nagaya， Ayumi Nagatomi，Ikue Shingu教授提供各種供復習的材料，針對每一次測試和考試，包括最後考試的背景信息。
Nagatomi and Nagaya教授在 課程21F.502: 日語入門 II繼續了這些研究。課程?調溝通技能的發展（例如，你在上下文關係中實際使用日語的能力）。學期結束時，選修本門課程的麻省理工學院學生要和日本人進行日常會話。利用 視覺成像設備，本課程?調了積極參與學習。課程提供了第7-11課的PDF格式的教材。
本課程系列在 課程21F.503:中級日語 I達到高潮，提供獲取會談、閱讀和寫作的技巧。課程的目標不僅僅是語法和詞彙，而是基于課程I 和 II獲得的基本能力，提高熟練、準確、恰當使用日語的能力。本課程由麻省理工學院Nagatomi, Nagaya, 和 Miyuki Hatano-Cohen三位教授講授，學生們將學習大約 80 個 漢字。
使用者如果想瞭解更多日語在麻省理工學院的講授信息，我們鼓勵大家訪問麻省理工學院日本項目。該項目已經實施19年，包括三個領域：教育、研究和推廣。作?關于日本和亞洲最大的研究中心，項目把相關的公司、政府組織和學術機構集中到一起，分享信息，形成交互網絡，促進和日本科學、技術和商業團體的瞭解和溝通。通過項目和培訓，語言，實習期，技術和?品及服務，麻省理工學院日本項目提供了豐富的關于日本和亞洲的風土人情信息。
4. 一個常問的問題
----------------------------------------------------------------
問：?什?麻省理工開放式課程網站上的課程資料的呈現的內容的寬度和深度有很大的變化？
答：每一門麻省理工開放式課程課程網站是由參與的教學工作者和MIT OCW人員合作分別開發的。這會涉及到不同因素，如教師課程資料數字格式的資料多寡，或是在兼顧成本和效率情?下的準備情?，以及知識?權和版權的限制。麻省理工開放式課程的教師和員工只能發布那些他們認?合適全世界範圍內自由獲得的課程資源。

2. Universia Offers New Course Translations
---------------------------------------------------------------
Through a partnership with the Web portal Universia.net, we are pleased to offer users 32 of our courses translated into Spanish and Portuguese. This partnership enables MIT OCW to expand its reach to non-English speaking people in countries such as Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Mexico, and Peru.
Universia was founded in Madrid, Spain, with the support of Grupo Santander and the commitment of 31 universities, the Spanish Principals Conference, and the Higher Council for Scientific Research. It is currently active in 10 countries (Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Chile, España, Mexico, Peru, Portugal, Puerto Rico and Venezuela), and includes 724 member universities. It reaches 10 million university and high school students, alumni, teachers and administrators around the world. Universia.net was created to provide new channels for information related to universities, to support the development of the application of new technologies in education and to encourage educational and technological innovation and the emergence of new platforms of communication within the Spanish and Portuguese-speaking university communities.
Four new courses were recently published in Spanish and Portuguese by Universia, including:
In Spanish
In Brazilian (Portuguese)
Each month, look for an additional four translations of MIT OCW courses into both languages on Universia's Spanish and Portuguese language sites.
3. Digging Deeper: Japanese Language Course Series
---------------------------------------------------------------
Each month, this newsletter offers subscribers an in-depth guide to one particular subject. This month, our featured course is actually a series of courses: Course 21F.501: Beginning Japanese I, Course 21F.502: Beginning Japanese II, and Course 21F.503: Intermediate Japanese I. These three courses come from MIT's Foreign Languages and Literature Section. Taken together, these three courses are taught from the textbook, Japanese: The Spoken Language, Part 1, by Eleanor H. Jorden with Mari Noda.
21F.501: Beginning Japanese I covers Lessons 1 through 6 from Japanese: The Spoken Language, providing opportunities to acquire basic skills for conversation, reading and writing. The program emphasizes ACTIVE command of Japanese, not passive knowledge. The goal is not simply to study the grammar and vocabulary, but to acquire the ability to use Japanese accurately and appropriately with increasing spontaneity. In the Study Materials section of this course, students learn Hiragana and Katakana (the Japanese phonetic symbols), then approximately 50 Kanji (Sino-Japanese characters). MIT Professors Yoshimi Nagaya, Ayumi Nagatomi, and Ikue Shingu also offer a wide variety of review materials for each of the quizzes and exam, as well as background information about the final exam, under the Exams section.
Professors Nagatomi and Nagaya continue the study of Japanese: The Spoken Language in Course 21F.502: Beginning Japanese II. This course emphasizes the development of communicative skills (i.e., your actual use of Japanese in contexts). By the end of the semester, MIT students enrolled in this course are expected to carry on a daily conversation with Japanese people. Making use of photographic visual aids, this course will stress active command of Japanese, not passive knowledge. Lessons 7 through 11 of the textbook are available in PDF format.
The course series winds up with 21F.503: Intermediate Japanese I, offering opportunities to acquire skills for conversation, reading, and writing. The goal is not simply to study the grammar and vocabulary, but to improve the ability to use Japanese accurately and appropriately with fluency, building on the basic skills gained in Japanese I and II. As taught by MIT Professors Nagatomi, Nagaya, and Miyuki Hatano-Cohen, students learn approximately 80 Kanji characters in this course.
Users interested in discovering more about how the Japanese language is taught at MIT are encouraged to visit the MIT Japan Program, now in its 19th year, which offers programs in three areas: education, research and outreach. The largest center of applied research on Japan and Asia, the program brings together corporations, government organizations and academics to share research and information, and to form networks to enhance understand and effectiveness with the Japanese science, technology and business communities. Through programs and training, language, internships, technology and products and services, the MIT Japan Program presents a comprehensive resource of personnel and information on Japan and Asia.
4. A Frequently Asked Question
----------------------------------------------------------------
QUESTION: Why is there such variation in the breadth and depth of content presented on individual MIT OCW course Web sites?
ANSWER: Each MIT OCW course Web site is developed individually with the participating faculty and instructors. It includes as much of the MIT faculty member's course materials as is available in a digital format, or can be cost-effectively prepared; and is free of Intellectual Property and copyright restrictions. MIT faculty and instructors publish only as much content as they are comfortable having on a Web site that is freely accessible worldwide.
