Carmela Pesca from Central Connecticut State University's and IACE Board Member presented her topic ''Reading Comprehension & Cultural Understanding'' at the COLT conference for language teachers in Hartford Connecticut.

We thank her for her dedication to the language and for her informative presentation.

On October the 21st IACE in collaboration with the Italian Cultural Institute of New York organized a special event to celebrate ''La Settimana della Lingua''', which was a week dedicated to the international recognition of the Italian Language.

Students who participated in the 2008 IACE Summer Program in Italy met and interviewed Amara Lakhous - author of ''Scontro di civiltà per un ascensore a piazza Vittorio'', one of the most renowned contemporary Italian writers.
