Title: Canadian Study: Multitasking Comes Easier to Bilingual Kids
Body: From http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/story/253818/lifestyle/wellness/multitasking-comes-easier-to-bilingual-kids-canadian-study Multitasking comes easier to bilingual kids: Canadian study April 4, 2012 Children who grow up learning two languages are better at multitasking but slower at building vocabulary than their monolingual peers, two Canadian psychologists have found. Raluca Barac and Ellen Bialystok tested a total of 104 six-year-old public school children, then compared the results of monolingual anglophones with their Chinese-English, French-English and Spanish-English counterparts. In a test of their ability to pay attention, plan, organize and strategize, the children were all asked to press a computer button while viewing images of either animals or colors. They all responded at the same speed when responses were limited to either animals or colors—but when asked to switch from animals to colors only, and press a different button, the bilinguals proved faster at making the changeover. Testing for verbal ability, Barac and Bialystok found the English monolingual youngsters scored higher for vocabulary, word meaning and grammar than the bilingual children, the institute said. That was apparently due to the fact that they only had to learn one language, although the Spanish bilinguals—who attended English-language schools—came a close second in vocabulary.

Title: “Breath of Life – Silent no more” California Indian Language Restoration Workshop
Body: From http://www.aicls.org The “Breath of Life – Silent no more” California Indian Language Restoration Workshop will be held this year on June 3-9, at the University of California at Berkeley. The participants are California Indians whose languages have few or no speakers. The goal will be for the participants to access, understand, and do research on materials on their languages, and to use them for language revitalization. There are several archives at UC Berkeley that together form the greatest collection anywhere of published and unpublished materials on California Indian languages. The aims of the Breath of Life workshop are: (a) to guide participants to the university resources available for their use; (b) to help the participants identify and locate the published and unpublished notes and audio recordings made by linguists and anthropologists on their languages; (c) for participants to learn the fundamentals of linguistic analysis, including how to read phonetic writing; (d) for participants to learn ways they can use linguistic materials and publications to create materials for language restoration. Each language group will also be assisted by a linguistic mentor, who will accompany the group to the archives and can help them learn how to read and analyze linguistic materials. AICLS is looking for around 20 linguistics students, faculty or researchers to mentor the participants. The application deadline is April 15, 2012. For more details go to http://www.aicls.org
