Title: Schools Fuel Demand for High-Tech Language Labs
Body: From http://www.edweek.org/dd/articles/2010/01/08/02languagelabs.h03.html Schools Fuel Demand for High-Tech Language Labs By Michelle R. Davis January 11, 2010 Language labs have been around for decades. Early models were often some variation of a student with headphones hooked up to a tape recorder pressing pause and play. Today’s digital-language labs are different. At first glance, they may appear to be a standard computer lab, but students aren’t sitting in front of PCs. They have screens, a keypad, and a headset, which allow them to watch videos, read articles pushed out by the teacher, and record themselves speaking. Some products even have a digital graphing function that records students’ speech in the foreign language and graphs their pronunciation and inflection in comparison with a native speaker’s tone. Students can easily see how far off their speech is from the correct version in a graphic overlay. Read the full article at http://www.edweek.org/dd/articles/2010/01/08/02languagelabs.h03.html

Title: Charter school Focusing on Hmong Children Proposed in Sacramento
Body: From http://www.sacbee.com/ourregion/story/2427228.html Charter school focusing on Hmong children proposed in Sacramento By Diana Lambert December 30, 2009 A group of Sacramento parents, educators and business professionals wants to open a charter school that will focus on teaching Hmong children, who have largely fallen through the cracks at regular public schools. The Yav Pem Suab Academy would serve kindergartners through sixth-graders. It would focus on teaching methods tailored to helping Hmong students learn but, as a public school, will be open to all students. Students at the academy would attend school year-round, four days a week from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. – the equivalent of 100 more days than the average school. The school day would include Hmong language classes and three hours of enrichment – music, drama, dance, agriculture, quilting or drawing – as well as state-mandated courses.

Title: Professor Studies Ajami Script
Body: From http://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/ideas/articles/2010/01/10/the_lost_script The lost script It’s a writing system called Ajami, it’s a thousand years old, and a Boston University professor thinks it could help unlock the story of a continent By Kenneth J. Cooper January 10, 2010 Senegal-born linguistics professor Fallou Ngom’s father was considered illiterate because he couldn’t read and write in the country’s official language, French. But like many Senegalese had for centuries, he wrote daily information in his native tongue using a modified form of Arabic script known as Ajami. Ajami script had been widely used across Africa for day-to-day writing in a dozen languages, and Ngom knew those writings had been largely overlooked in the official story of the continent - in part because so few historians could read them. Today Ngom is director of the African Languages Program at Boston University, and is training the first generation of American scholars capable of reading Ajami. What Ngom hopes is nothing less than to lay the groundwork for a reinterpretation of much of African history, using this widespread but little understood writing system to unearth new information about the daily life of Africans, the spread of Islam, the continent’s literary traditions, the Atlantic slave trade, and who knows what else.
