Title: Article: Saving Endangered Languages from Being Forgotten
Body: From http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/01/100126084059.htm Saving Endangered Languages from Being Forgotten January 28, 2010 With only 3.000 speakers in Northwest Siberia the Ob-Ugrian language Mansi is on the verge of extinction. Predictions say it will be extinct in ten to twenty years at the latest. The same holds true for Khanti, a member of the same language family. It is for this reason that extensive documentation is so important. Johanna Laakso, professor for Finno-Ugrian Studies at the University of Vienna concerns herself with the documentation of this and other minority languages in the framework of an FWF project and the EU project ELDIA. The two Ob-Ugrian languages Mansi and Khanti will be the object of extensive digital cataloging and documentation within the framework of the FWF three-year project "Ob-Ugric Languages: Conceptual Structures, Lexicon, Constructions, Categories."

Title: Article: Outsourcing Language Learning
Body: From http://www.insidehighered.com/news/2010/01/22/languages Outsourcing Language Learning — Jennifer Epstein January 22, 2010 Almost a decade ago, Drake University stirred up controversy by eliminating its foreign language departments and thereby the jobs of faculty in French, German and Italian, even those with tenure. Traditional lecture and language lab instruction was replaced with the Drake University Language Acquisition Program (DULAP): small discussion groups led by on-campus native speakers, a weekly session with a scholar of the language, a one-semester course on language acquisition and the use of several Web-based learning technologies. The Sage Colleges, with campuses in Albany and Troy, New York, adopted the Drake program’s structure last fall to begin offering Italian. During the first semester of the Sage Language Acquisition Program, students met three days each week for conversation with a native speaker “language partner” and a few other students, one day a week with an “outside examiner” – a Ph.D. in Italian -- and one day to discuss language acquisition strategies and course technology with the college's French professor.
