Title: Post Doctoral Fellowships at Boston University Deaf Studies
Body: The Center for the Study of Communication and the Deaf and the Programs in Deaf Studies at Boston University will have two doctoral research fellowships available beginning September 1, 2011. The fellowship is partially supported by the National Center for Special Education Research, a division of the Institute for Educational Sciences and Boston University’s School of Education. We have received four years of funding to develop an assessment of the American Signed Language knowledge in Deaf students. The project entitled Assessing ASL Knowledge and its Relationship to English Reading in Deaf Children is based on the proposal that fluency and knowledge of American sign language will facilitate the development of English as a 2nd language for many Deaf children. Our primary goal is to develop an American Sign Language (ASL) assessment instrument, the ASLAI, to identify those Deaf children who are proceeding along a normal developmental path, those children who may need intervention due to either a language delay, a language problem or another problem, such as a learning disability. It is our hope that the ASLAI will help to maximize the capabilities of Deaf children to support learning in school. Qualifications: 1) Required: Completed Undergraduate degree in education, linguistics, psychology, or other liberal arts areas or related fields. Preferred: Completed Master’s degree in education, linguistics, psychology, other liberal arts areas or related fields 2) Native user of American Sign Language 3) Strong organizational skills. 4) Evidence of team interaction skills and ability to work independently with minimal direction. 5) Knowledge of the linguistic, social, cultural, and developmental aspects of the lives of Deaf people. 6) Minimum knowledge of computer: word processing, spreadsheets 7) Background in American Sign Language teaching and/or research preferred 8) Skills in ASL transcription preferred 9) Willing to learn 10) Must be willing to travel Salary: The position is for 10 months a year with the possibility of summer work and includes a $20,000 stipend depending on background.

Title: School Administrators Work To Develop Foreign Language Exams
Body: From http://bellmore.patch.com/articles/school-administrators-work-to-develop-foreign-language-exams-3 School Administrators Work To Develop Foreign Language Exams As NYS backs away from development of certain tests, local schools team to fill the void. By Karen Forman December 5, 2010 With New York State no longer developing final exams for select foreign languages and threatening to eliminate more due to budget restrictions, a group of Long Island school administrators has met in an effort to develop proficiency tests for middle school and high school students. The Foreign Language Association of Chairpersons and Supervisors (FLACS), which includes representatives from 60 school districts across Nassau and Suffolk counties, held a public meeting Wednesday at Half Hollow Hills East High School in Dix Hills. FLACS officials said the group is working to fill the void created by the state. Districts that do not join the consortium will have to create these exams for themselves, since the state is no longer providing them. Recently, New York eliminated the creation of all non-English language exams at the middle school level and of Hebrew, Latin and German Regents exams at the high school level. The state will continue to create Regents exams for Spanish, French and Italian, but it also considering eliminating the creation of the Italian exam for the 2011-12 school year.

Title: Yuman Indigenous Music Documentary to Premiere
Body: From http://www.yumasun.com/articles/golding-66002-language-songs.html Tribal music documentary premieres Saturday BY NANCY GILKEY December 8, 2010 Quechan filmmaker Daniel Golding is using modern technology to preserve some very old music. Golding's documentary “Songs of the Colorado,” which premieres Saturday, spotlights the traditional songs of American and Mexican tribes of the Southwest who speak the Yuman language. For two years, Golding traveled to interview and film lead singers of various tribes. And for the first time, lead singers from those tribes gathered to discuss common issues such as loss of language and the effects the loss had on learning the songs. “The Yuman language family is made up of tribes along the Colorado (River) that speak a similar dialect,” he said. About 10 different Yuman-speaking tribes, including the Quechan and Cocopah, are part of a larger group of speakers of Hokan, Golding said.

When the center was created, one of its primary goals was to prepare teachers to be more sensitive to cultural differences between Native American children and non-Native teachers.

Title: Yiddish Lives On in Catskills
Body: From http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/26/arts/26klezmer.html?_r=1&ref=todayspaper No Need to Kvetch, Yiddish Lives On in Catskills By JOSEPH BERGER November 25, 2010 In a chilled and snow-shrouded Catskills landscape, hundreds of people get together every December to try to breathe some warmth into a dying culture. For almost a week at a hotel here, organizers immerse the group, which calls itself KlezKamp, in Yiddish and the folkways of the Eastern Europeans who spoke that language until Hitler extinguished their communities. Classes are offered in Yiddish conversation, humor and literature; in klezmer — the sometimes plaintive, sometimes mischievous folk music that has experienced an astonishing comeback — and in the snaking, coiling, hand-clapping dances animated by those melodies.
