Title: Pre-K Rules for ELLs in Illinois Would Break Ground Nationally
Body: From http://www.edweek.org/ew/articles/2010/04/23/30lep-preschool.h29.html?tkn=VQCHV4QPznxbHi%2FpeXwYYhwpValBx1oirUBq&cmp=clp-sb-actfl Pre-K Rules for ELLs Would Break Ground Nationally By Mary Ann Zehr April 26, 2010 Questions are being raised about proposed regulations that would impose the same requirements on Illinois school districts about educating English-learners at the preschool level as for older students. The Illinois board of education is poised to adopt those regulations next month. Should the board do so, it is believed that Illinois would have the most prescriptive regulations in the nation for ELLs in preschool. Accountability provisions of the federal No Child Left Behind Act don’t apply to preschoolers. Illinois is one of the few states that require districts to offer transitional bilingual education, in which students are taught academic content in their native languages while learning English. Arizona, California, and Massachusetts have all curtailed the method. By 2014, under the proposed rules, public schools in Illinois also would have to ensure that all their preschool teachers who work with ELLs have an endorsement either in bilingual education or English as a second language.

Title: Article: Seeking Farsi (Persian) Fluency without Going to Iran
Body: From http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/04/25/AR2010042503176.html?referrer=emailarticle Farsi fluency sought, but classes must fill in for immersion method By Michael Alison Chandler April 26, 2010 After decades of political strife, and with debates over Iran's nuclear ambitions and human rights violations, fluency in Farsi is deemed a critical skill for a growing number of government jobs in intelligence and defense. Schools have had to scramble to keep up. Fewer than a dozen universities grant degrees in Persian, said Pardis Minuchehr, a professor at the Middle East Center of the University of Pennsylvania and president of the American Association of Teachers of Persian. Icy relations with Iran pose challenges for such academic programs. Universities cannot buy journals or textbooks from Iran because of economic sanctions, and there are currently no exchange programs between the countries.
