Title: University of Wyoming Considers Adding Foreign Language Admissions Requirement
Body: From http://www.therepublic.com/view/story/721dae7d02cd4d8392404228040aa75e/WY--UW-Admissions Foreign language, more math among UW's possibilities for new admissions standards November 5, 2011 The University of Wyoming is considering tougher admissions standards for new students, including a new foreign language requirement and requiring four years of math and science instead of three. The university does not currently require new students to have studied a foreign language. If the changes were implemented, UW would also strongly encourage high school students to take additional coursework especially in visual or performing arts, behavioral or social sciences, humanities or foreign languages.

Title: Article: Colleges Move to Online Language Classes
Body: From http://chronicle.com/article/Foreign-Language-Instruction/129604/?sid=gn&utm_source=gn&utm_medium=en Foreign-Language Instruction, Digitally Speaking By Marc Parry November 6, 2011 Wylder Fondaw struggled with an online Latin class in high school. So when he arrived at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill this year, he hesitated at studying a language online. But the freshman had no choice: At his skill level, if he wanted to take introductory Spanish, an online class was the only option. Instead of showing up in class four times a week, Mr. Fondaw conjugates verbs on a computer program in his sparsely furnished dorm room. He attends a live class every Tuesday afternoon—but it, too, is virtual. The class convenes via Web-conferencing software. If students want to answer a question, they click an icon that depicts a raised hand. Even as online education booms, fully digital language classes like Mr. Fondaw's remain uncommon. But North Carolina's experiment¬—driven by growing demand for Spanish instruction, limited classroom space, a shortage of qualified instructors, pedagogical innovations, and cost savings—is one of several efforts nationwide that are starting to map an online future for teaching languages.
