Title: Job: Supervisory Language Training Specialist, U.S. Department of State
Body: From http://www.usajobs.gov/GetJob/ViewDetails/318562500 There are two Language Training Supervisor opportunities in two of the Divisions within the Language School, one in the Romance Languages Division (ROM), and one in the Slavic, Pashto, and Persian Languages Division (SPP). The School of Language Studies, Foreign Service Institute (FSI/SLS) is located in Arlington, Virginia. The School of Language Studies consists of approximately 650 Language and Culture Instructors and supervisory-level personnel and provides training and testing services amounting to more than 1,000,000 student hours annually in 70 languages, to more than 40 agencies in addition to the Department of State.

The length of training depends on the language proficiency requirements of the employees and family members of DoS and other government agencies who are assigned to embassies and consulates abroad.

Title: Algebra 2, Foreign Language Would Be Dropped from Michigan Graduation Requirements under House Bill
Body: From http://www.mlive.com/education/index.ssf/2012/05/algebra_2_foreign_language_wou.html Algebra 2, foreign language would be dropped from Michigan graduation requirements under bill debated in House committee by Dave Murray May 30, 2012 A bill from State Rep. Edward McBroom, R-Vulcan, would eliminate the requirement for algebra 2 and a foreign language, replacing them with opportunities for career-technical education, technical math, and work-study programs. His bill reduces some of the requirements in the standard curriculum, and provides opportunities for career-technical education, technical math, work study programs. “I’ve been watching students who would love to study, whether it’s auto mechanics, building trades, nursing – so many other options,” he said. “And yet they are being forced into classes that would take them to another route than then are actually interested in, they don’t have the time and the flexibility in their schedules.” Read the full article at http://www.mlive.com/education/index.ssf/2012/05/algebra_2_foreign_language_wou.html

Those in attendance seemed to find the federal officials’ answers to key questions -- most urgently, what documentation such “university-governed” English programs must submit in order to prove their accreditation, and retain their right to enroll international students -- to be largely unsatisfying.

Title: MLA Statement on Language Learning and United States National Policy
Body: The Modern Language Association’s Executive Council has released a statement: “Language Learning and United States National Policy.” It begins as follows: “The MLA regards the learning of languages other than English as vital to an understanding of the world; such learning serves as a portal to the literatures, cultures, historical perspectives, and human experiences that constitute the human record. Pragmatically, we believe in the value of becoming part of a global conversation in which knowledge of English is often not enough, and the security and future of our country depend on accurately understanding other cultures through their linguistic and cultural practices.” Read the full statement at http://www.mla.org/new_from_mla/www.mla.org/ec_us_language_policy
