Body: From http://www.nadsfl.org/events/let-s-learn-latin-boston-northern-virginia Let’s Learn Latin will introduce elementary and middle school teachers to the world of Latin and the ancient Romans through a series of engaging, standards-connected lessons.

The bill, which is headed to the governor’s desk, establishes the Alaska Native Language Preservation and Advisory Council, a collection of language experts who would research and find ways to protect and restore Alaska Native languages. The council would consist of language experts appointed by the governor from throughout the state and would include non-voting legislators from the Bush Caucus. The council would be tasked with producing reports every two years that would evaluate the state of languages and recommend changes to programs to the governor and the Legislature. The first report would be due July 1, 2014. Read more: http://newsminer.com/bookmark/18224785-Legislature-passes-bill-intended-to-preserve-Native-languages

Title: Article: German in a Multicultural World
Body: From http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/15/education/edlife/german-in-a-multicultural-world.html?emc=eta1 German in a Multicultural World By SAM DILLON April 13, 2012 ON the day in November 1989 that the Berlin Wall came down, Michael Legutke, a linguist working for the West German government, was in Casper, Wyo., leading a training workshop for the state’s German teachers. The drama of Berlin’s reunification and Communism’s collapse focused worldwide interest on all things German, and German classes in American public schools saw significant enrollment increases. But by the mid-1990s, the surge ended. The United States was turning its attention to Asia and the Mideast; Arabic and especially Chinese began displacing German and several other European languages once at the core of the American curriculum. Ever since, the precarious future of the German language in North America has been a concern for the Berlin government, which has turned to Dr. Legutke and Daniel S. Hamilton, a Johns Hopkins professor, to strategize on how to bolster German instruction here. “In the U.S., German is on the defensive,” they conclude in a new study that could serve as a blueprint for other languages threatened by tectonic shifts in American demographics. “It is under increasing attack from many directions and for many different reasons.” Read the full article at http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/15/education/edlife/german-in-a-multicultural-world.html?emc=eta1
