Title: Norwegian, Korean, Italian and Russian Examiners Needed for the International Baccalaureate
Body: The International Baccalaureate (IB) is currently seeking experienced individuals to take on the roles of Examiner Responsible for its Language A: language and literature course. The International Baccalaureate (IB) is a non-profit educational foundation offering challenging programmes for a world wide community of schools. It is now represented in over 120 countries and in over 2,000 schools. The IB provides an international pre-university curriculum and an international university entry qualification, which gives access to higher education on a worldwide basis. You may be interested to visit the public website at http://www.ibo.org for more details. One of the characteristics of the IB's diploma programme is that students are required to study a language A course as one of six subjects that constitute the diploma. The IB’s Language A: language and literature courses are for students aged 16-18 who have experience of using the language of the course in an academic context. The courses are firmly based on the study of both language and literature, with a focus on how the study of texts produced in a language is central to how we see and understand the world in which we live. The texts studied on this course will be diverse and in the literature elements will also include works studied in translation. At the end of the two years, students are expected to be able to focus closely on the language of the texts they study and will be aware of the role of each text’s wider context in shaping its meaning. Formal analysis of literary works as well as an understanding of critical literacy are desired outcomes of this course. The duties of examiner responsible include the setting and marking of examinations and may involve occasional (paid) travel to the IB curriculum and assessment centre in Cardiff, UK. Please note that this position is part-time, involves no relocation, and is usually undertaken in addition to existing work commitments. In addition, examiners will be given clear instructions and be well supported throughout the process. We are seeking an experienced individual with the following background: · Native / fluent speakers of Norwegian, Korean, Italian or Russian · Qualified to at least degree level, ideally in Norwegian, Korean, Italian or Russian literature · Teaching experience · Examining experience (desirable but not essential). The IB is committed to offering the Language A: language and literature course in diverse languages, and regularly provides these examinations in sixteen different languages for its international candidature. We would be very keen to hear from all individuals with the above experience. If you wish to apply, or would like further information, please contact Michael Rogers by e-mail (Michael.rogers at ibo dot org). Thank you very much for reading this message and giving consideration to it. Michael Rogers Academic Officer International Baccalaureate, Cardiff, UK Rogers, M. [LCTL-T] Norwegian, Korean, Italian and Russian examiners needed for the International Baccalaureate. LCTL-T listserv (LCTL-T@LISTS.UMN.EDU, 21 Jul 2011).

Title: Site Helps Students Pick Language
Body: From http://www.pennlive.com/east-shore/index.ssf/2011/07/site_helps_students_pick_language.html Site helps students pick language By Elizabeth Kotz July 14, 2011 Have fun! Amuse-toi! Diviertete! These words will greet Hershey Intermediate students on the district’s new language exploratory website this fall. Created by two Derry Township teachers and aimed at incoming fifth-graders, the site is designed to present students with the resources necessary to choose a foreign language the following year. “Some parents and students were stressed about the decision since they continue with the same language for three years,” said Lisa Butler, Hershey Middle School Spanish teacher and the website’s co-creator. “The administration asked that we find a way to give the students the chance to make an educated decision. Because of the audience we needed to reach, persuasive facts would not help. The students needed to see and play in both French and Spanish.” Read the full article at http://www.pennlive.com/east-shore/index.ssf/2011/07/site_helps_students_pick_language.html

Title: How to Raise a Global Kid: Parents Move Abroad for Children’s Education
Body: From http://www.newsweek.com/2011/07/17/american-kids-immersed-in-chinese-asian-education.html How to Raise a Global Kid Taking Tiger Mom tactics to radical new heights, these parents are packing up the family for a total Far East Immersion. by Lisa Miller July 18, 2011 American parents have barely recovered from the anxiety attacks they suffered at the hands of the Tiger Mom—oh, no, my child is already 7 and she can’t play a note of Chopin—and now here comes 8-year-old Happy’s father, the multimillionaire American investor and author Jim Rogers, to give them something new to fret about. It is no longer enough to raise children who are brave, curious, hardworking, and compassionate. Nor is it sufficient to steer them toward the right sports, the right tutors, the right internships, and thus engineer their admittance to the right (or at least a good enough) college. According to Rogers, who in 2007 left New York’s Upper West Side to settle in Singapore with his wife, Paige Parker, and Happy (Beeland Anderson Parker Rogers, called Baby Bee, was born the next year), parents who really care about their children must also ponder this: are we doing enough to raise “global” kids?

Title: Albright, Hagel: Language Cuts Endanger U.S.
Body: From http://www.usatoday.com/news/opinion/forum/2011-07-15-albright-hagel-foreign-languages-budget-cuts_n.htm Albright, Hagel: Language cuts endanger U.S. By Madeleine Albright and Chuck Hagel July 15, 2011 Our years of work in diplomacy and national security have made very clear to both of us the critical need to maintain and expand the cadre of Americans who have studied the history and politics of countries who affect our well-being. Specifically, the United States' ability to both confront challenges and exploit opportunities relies heavily on Americans being able to understand and speak less commonly taught languages. We believe that a grievous last-minute mistake was made when funding for International Education and Foreign Language Studies was cut for this fiscal year. In the context of billions and even trillions of cuts being discussed, a $50 million reduction sounds insignificant. But this particular $50 million cut from the Department of Education's budget amounted to a 40% reduction in the relatively small account that supports these programs at higher education institutions across the U.S. This is a dramatic cut that will have long-lasting and serious consequences — it not only threatens the nation's diplomatic, intelligence, and national security capacities, but also our ability to maximize our competitiveness in global markets. This cut was a last-minute decision made with the specter of a government shutdown hanging over it.

Title: Modern Language Association Calls for Second Language Fluency for College Students
Body: From http://www.insidehighered.com/news/2011/07/08/qt#264478 Amid numerous proposed cuts to language programs in higher education, the Executive Council of the Modern Language Association has issued a statement calling for colleges to provide students with the chance to become fluent in a second language. "[D]espite student demand for language courses and public recognition of the opportunities of globalization, many college language programs have been reduced, closed, or threatened with closure," the statement says. "These actions deny students critical learning opportunities and impoverish their education. Preventing students from participating in college-level language learning does them a profound disservice, diminishes our cultural capacities, and isolates the American public from the conversations of the rest of the world."
