Title: Studies Find Language Is Key to Learning Math: Comparison of Formals Sign Languages and Homesign
Body: Studies Find Language Is Key to Learning Math By Sarah D. Sparks February 17, 2011 New research shows a lack of language skills can hamstring a student’s ability to understand the most fundamental concepts in mathematics. A series of studies led by Susan Goldin-Meadow, a psychology professor at the University of Chicago, found that profoundly deaf adults in Nicaragua who had not learned a formal sign language could not accurately describe or understand numbers greater than three. While hearing adults and those who used formal sign language easily counted and distinguished groups of objects, those who used only self-created “homesigning” gestures could not consistently extend the proper number of fingers to count more than three objects at a time, nor could they match the number of objects in one set to those in another set.

Title: College of Hawaiian Language Marks New Chapter with Historic Groundbreaking
Body: From http://www.hawaii.edu/news/article.php?aId=4182 College of Hawaiian Language marks new chapter with historic groundbreaking University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo February 15, 2011 A bilingual blessing and groundbreaking was held on Saturday for Phase I of permanent facilities to house programs and operations for the University of Hawai’i at Hilo Ka Haka ʻUla O Keʻelikolani College of Hawaiian Language. A building to house the University’s expanding Hawaiian Studies programs was identified as a need more than a decade prior to the department achieving collegiate status in 1998. The college’s rapid growth produced UH Hilo’s first master’s and Ph.D. recipients as it gained national prominence as a leader in indigenous language and cultural revitalization, added new programs like linguistics and witnessed a surge in enrollment. But that growth has come at a price as operations are spread out over five locations on campus, with some faculty and staff sharing office space with up to 16 people.
