Title: Intensive Course: Living Latin in Rome
Body: From http://www.spokenlatin.org Living Latin in Rome A Spoken Latin Experience June 6th - July 8th, 2011 This intensive, five-week Latin language course has two purposes: providing a continuous period of study of Latin and introducing students to the most important ancient sites of Rome and its surrounding areas. The course meets 5 days a week for 4 hours a day (divided into two sessions) and combines traditional classroom instruction with the active use of Latin as a living language. In the morning session students meet in the classroom to read through a well-known passage from Latin literature connected with an ancient Roman site. The afternoon session uses the city as a classroom. Students visit the site referenced in the morning’s readings and work with the instructors in small groups, using Latin actively to interact with each other and the site they are visiting. Grammar, vocabulary and syntax seen in the morning’s reading are reinforced and practiced in a memorable and authentic setting. Each Saturday there is a trip to an ancient site outside of the city with associated readings. Sundays are free for relaxing and exploring Rome. Learn more at http://www.spokenlatin.org

Title: Article: Utah Leading the Nation in Dual Immersion Programs
Body: From http://www.ksl.com/?nid=148&sid=14481960 Utah leading the nation in dual immersion programs By Nadine Wimmer February 22, 2011 Utah may trail the nation in school funding, but the state is leading the way in language immersion programs. Thousands of Utah second-graders can speak in French, write in Chinese and read in Spanish. Their parents have learned about language immersion programs and they're seeking out schools for a coveted spot. No state is adding immersion programs faster, and Gov. Gary Herbert hopes to quadruple enrollment within four years. One-third of the U.S. elementary schools that offer Mandarin Chinese are in Utah. The Chinese and French governments are so impressed they're sending and paying for teachers to take part in Utah's program. The National Security Agency, which is building a huge facility in Utah, just awarded schools $300,000 so students can continue Chinese immersion programs in the summer.

I had learned how to teach math and how to leverage technology, but not how to contend with Johnny’s drawn-out and distracting expression of his immediate need to go to his cubby. By introducing five simple signs in American Sign Language to my class, I’ve eliminated some key daily challenges. No software needed.

According to the LLC website, this project will further one of its vision statements to “provide every Lakota child with the means to become a speaker of Lakota as a first language within the home.” Read the full article at http://indiancountrytodaymedianetwork.com/2011/02/berenstain-bears-to-speak-lakota
