Title: Fairfax County School Board Squashes Last-Minute Attempt To Eliminate Foreign Language
Body: From http://burke.patch.com/articles/school-board-squashes-last-minute-attempt-to-eliminate-foreign-language-2 School Board Squashes Last-Minute Attempt To Eliminate Foreign Language The amendment would have eliminated Foreign Language in Elementary Schools By Naomi Nix February 2, 2011 The Fairfax County School Board unanimously rejected a budget amendment Thursday night which would have eliminated foreign language in elementary schools for the next school year. The amendment, proposed by school board member Martina Hone, would have shifted the $3.1 million dollars that currently funds Foreign Language in Elementary Schools(FLES) to the staffing reserve. Currently 32 county elementary schools out of 139 offer FLES programs, which give half hour language instruction to students two to three times a week. The program, which includes seven languages, is separate from the school system’s partial immersion program that operates in 12 county schools. Advocates for FLES argue that investment in foreign language skills at an early age is critical to meet the school board’s goal that all students graduate with the ability to speak two languages. School board members said that if it weren’t for budget cuts they would, in fact, support expanding FLES and a host of other programs that have been cut or stalled.

Title: Shortage of Chinese Language Teachers in Oregon Prompts Virtual Classes with Educators in China
Body: From http://www.oregonlive.com/hillsboro/index.ssf/2011/02/shortage_of_chinese_language_teachers_prompts_virtual_classes_with_educators_in_china.html Shortage of Chinese language teachers in Oregon prompts virtual classes with educators in China By Wendy Owen February 6, 2011 About 6,000 miles away at 2 a.m., a teacher in China will turn on her computer and teach Mandarin to students in Oregon. At least, that's the hope of educators at the Northwest Regional Education Service District in Hillsboro. By the end of February, the Education Service District (ESD) plans to offer the first virtual Mandarin Chinese language classes in Oregon taught by teachers in China. Because of China's growing economic power, Chinese has replaced other foreign languages, such as German, in some Oregon school districts, but it's difficult to find Chinese teachers. In Oregon, there are a total of 17 licensed Chinese teachers, said Vickie Chamberlain, executive director, Teacher Standards and Practices Commission. The classes, offered through the Oregon Virtual Education Center, cost $600 per semester, per student. School districts would pay the fees, which go to myChinese360, the company providing the program. Classes will have a maximum of 10 students.
