Body: From http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703460404575244592628745882.html?mod=dist_smartbrief African Teachers Come to the Rescue of Cajun Country Imported Francophones Help Revive a Culture; Savoring 'Le Gumbó' By JOEL MILLMAN May 24, 2010 Cyran Hounnou teaches seventh grade at the Moss Bluff Middle School near Lake Charles, Louisiana. Mr. Hounnou speaks English, French and Spanish, he says, and "about seven" of the 32 tribal languages of Bénin, his West African homeland. This talented teacher and dozens more from West Africa form a veritable French Foreign Legion of imported educators here. They join staff from Canada, Haiti, Belgium and France itself, as Louisiana's present-day Acadians—the "Cajuns"—struggle to preserve a language languishing on the Bayou.

Title: Book: A Reference Grammar of Spanish
Body: From http://linguistlist.org/issues/21/21-2332.html A Reference Grammar of Spanish by R.E. Batchelor and Miguel Ángel San José published by Cambridge University Press Description: A Reference Grammar of Spanish is a comprehensive handbook on the structure of the Spanish language. Keeping technical terminology to a minimum, it provides a detailed yet clear point of reference on all the intricacies of Spanish grammar, covering word order, parts of speech, verb use, syntax, gender, number, alphabet, and pronunciation. Accompanied by a wealth of carefully chosen examples, it looks at Spanish in Iberia, the USA, Mexico, and Argentina, and demonstrates the differences between these varieties. It is designed specifically with English-speaking learners in mind, and contains useful tools such as a glossary of terms, an index, and a detailed examination of different registers of the language. This volume will be a valuable resource for teachers and students, as well as a practical supplement to textbooks and classroom study.
