Title: Article: Aligning Language and Culture Learning with Non-Language Majors through Study Abroad
Body: From http://nclrc.org/about_teaching/topics/feature.html#new Aligning Language and Culture Learning with Non-Language Majors through Study Abroad David Wright November 2010 One of the challenges in the field of second language education is making foreign languages and intercultural knowledge and skills relevant to all parts of a student’s academic and postgraduate life. Many institutions approach this challenge from a "seat time" or "cafeteria" perspective -- trying to ensure basic global competency by either (1) establishing minimum foreign language requirements, or (2) encouraging students to study abroad. While these efforts may play a part in fostering intercultural competence, they tend to fall short unless second-language knowledge is woven into the rest of a student's academic and pre-professional career. Students derive global competence from a variety of disparate experiences. As educators it is our responsibility to help them connect the dots of this global education puzzle because without a sense of the interrelationships within the larger educational context, student learning in a global sense is compromised. The Cultures and Languages Across the Curriculum (CLAC) consortium (clacconsortium.org) advances a comprehensive dialogue as well as provides specific strategies for addressing these issues.

Body: From http://www.elpasotimes.com/news/ci_16462296?source=most_emailed Fighting exclusion: Bilingual ed students outperform peers after 6th grade By Ramon Bracamontes October 29, 2010 Students in bilingual education outperform their peers in English-only programs after the sixth grade, a San Jose State University professor said Thursday in El Paso.
