Title: Article: Au Revoir for Study of French, German?
Body: From http://www.edweek.org/ew/articles/2010/07/17/366199bcpexchangeeducation_ap.html?tkn=PYOF%2FOb1kgQHpZvpPDnxpeC5%2BG7HdDPGIqVs&cmp=clp-edweek Au Revoir for Study of French, German? By Mackenzie Carpenter July 19, 2010 Once upon a time, they were known as The Big Three: Spanish, French and German, and they are still the top three languages taught in colleges across America — although Spanish leads the other two by a mile. Ach!! Is French passe? Is German kaput? Not exactly, but signs of decline are there, locally and nationally: Some of Pennsylvania's state-owned universities are seriously debating whether to offer French and German majors after current students graduate. Enrollment in French classes is shrinking in Pittsburgh's public schools, and one high school is considering phasing out its longtime German program. Shady Side Academy, a private school with campuses in Fox Chapel and the East End of Pittsburgh, is eliminating French and German from its middle school curriculum to focus on Spanish, Mandarin and Latin.

Title: U.S. Reps. Push for Foreign-Language Teaching in ESEA
Body: From http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/learning-the-language U.S. Reps. Push for Foreign-Language Teaching in ESEA By Mary Ann Zehr July 21, 2010 Two Democrats from the U.S. House of Representatives said at a policy briefing yesterday on Capitol Hill that they plan to introduce a bill that would authorize $400 million in funding for fiscal 2011 for the teaching of foreign languages to K-12 students. They hope the bill will become part of the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. A description of the bill handed out at the briefing said it would provide $100 million for the U.S. Department of Education to take a leadership role in supporting the teaching of foreign languages, such as coordinating with the departments of state, defense, and commerce to promote best practices for language teaching. Some of the money would provide scholarships for students and teachers to study abroad. Another $100 million would go to states to "expand and articulate" statewide efforts for language learning. Lastly, the bill draft proposes that $200 million pay for grants from the Education Department to "partnerships" that would develop and expand model foreign-language programs.

Push for Foreign-Language Teaching in ESEA By Mary Ann Zehr July 21, 2010 Two Democrats from the U.S. House of Representatives said at a policy briefing yesterday on Capitol Hill that they plan to introduce a bill that would authorize $400 million in funding for fiscal 2011 for the teaching of foreign languages to K-12 students. They hope the bill will become part of the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. A description of the bill handed out at the briefing said it would provide $100 million for the U.S. Department of Education to take a leadership role in supporting the teaching of foreign languages, such as coordinating with the departments of state, defense, and commerce to promote best practices for language teaching. Some of the money would provide scholarships for students and teachers to study abroad. Another $100 million would go to states to "expand and articulate" statewide efforts for language learning. Lastly, the bill draft proposes that $200 million pay for grants from the Education Department to "partnerships" that would develop and expand model foreign-language programs.
