Title: Preschoolers Study Foreign Tongues
Body: Article address: http://www.edweek.org/ew/ewstory.cfm?slug= 28Language.h23&keywords= Preschoolers%20Study%20Foreign%20Tongues If this does not work, from the www.edweek.org address, go to "Search Archives" and search for the article title: Preschoolers Study Foreign Tongues Note: Education Week requires a free registration to access their articles. Once you register, you may only be able to log on to the site using Explorer. Excerpt from the article's introduction: Interest in foreign-language instruction in preschool is growing, both among parents and early-childhood educators trying to meet the demand. The interest, though, comes at a time when some districts are scaling back on such programs in the elementary grades in order to spend more time on reading and mathematics—the subjects currently tested to comply with the federal No Child Left Behind Act. "On one hand, we have parents clamoring for this," said Nancy Rhodes, the director of foreign-language instruction at the Center for Applied Linguistics, a Washington-based nonprofit organization that conducts research and provides training and information on language-related issues. "But on the other hand, we have No Child Left Behind emphasizing reading and math. We are feeling that pull."

Title: Imagining Multilingual Schools: An International Symposium on Language in Education, Sept 30-Oct 2, 2004, NYC
Body: Conference Location: Teachers College, Columbia University, New York City, NY For further information, visit: http://www.tc.columbia.edu/ceoi/languagesymposium.html Educators and policy makers from around the world will be at Columbia University's Teachers College to share their visions and designs for multilingual schools in the 21st century. All twenty-five speakers for the international symposium, Imagining Multilingual Schools, have been invited to participate. The audience will be limited to 125 to ensure active dialogue among participants. Among the scholars invited to this symposium are Hugo Baetens-Beardsmore (Belgium), Jasone Cenoz (Basque Country, Spain), Jim Cummins (Canada), Viv Edwards (United Kingdom), Fred Genesee (Canada), Nancy Hornberger (US), Luis Enrique Lopez-Hurtado (Bolivia), Teresa McCarty (US), Ajit Mohanty (India), Tope Omoniyi (Nigeria and UK), Robert Phillipson (Denmark), Richard Ruiz (US), Elana Shohamy (Israel), Josefina Tinajero (US), Tove Skutnabb-Kangas (Denmark and Finland), Guadalupe Valdés (Stanford University), Li Wei (United Kingdom). Some of the questions to be addressed include: * What role does school play in developing students' multilingualism and multilingual literacies? * How do school systems throughout the world organize themselves to ensure the development of students' multilingualism? * What are the differences and commonalities in the multilingual schooling of immigrant students, indigenous peoples, traditional minorities, and majority populations? * What issues arise as schools develop multilingual educational programs and how do teachers and parents support the development of multilingualism? * How can we move education for multilingual competence higher up on policy agendas? There will also be special panels and cultural events. In addition, New York City offers its multilingual energy and creativity as the backdrop to the symposium. The symposium is being co-chaired by Professors Ofelia García and María Torres-Guzmán of Columbia University´s Teachers College. It is organized by the Bilingual Education Program and the new Center for Multiple Languages and Literacies (CMLL) of Teachers College, Columbia University. The Center for Applied Linguistics and the National Association for Bilingual Education are co-sponsoring the event with Teachers College. Multilingual Matters is offering support.
