Title: Fourth International Conference on Language Immersion Education
Body: From http://www.carla.umn.edu/conferences/immersion2012 Fourth International Conference on Language Immersion Education Immersion 2012: Bridging Contexts for a Multilingual World October 18-20, 2012 Crowne Plaza Riverfront Hotel St. Paul, Minnesota Language immersion education continues to evolve as a highly effective program model for launching students on the road to bi- and multilingualism and intercultural competence. School-based immersion programs commit to a minimum of 50% subject-matter schooling through a second, world, heritage, or indigenous language at the preschool and elementary levels with varying amounts of subject-based language learning support throughout secondary and post-secondary education. Program models include one-way world language immersion, two-way bilingual immersion, and indigenous/heritage immersion for language and culture revitalization. While each model targets distinct sociocultural contexts and educational needs, all embrace language, literacy and culture development through subject matter learning. Under the leadership of the Center for Advanced Research on Language Acquisition, University of Minnesota (CARLA), the fourth international conference on immersion education brings these models together to engage in research-informed dialogue and professional exchange across languages, levels, learner audiences, and sociopolitical contexts.

Title: Article: Can Foreign Languages Go Digital with Online Education?
Body: From http://www.usnewsuniversitydirectory.com/articles/can-foreign-languages-go-digital-with-online-educa_12458.aspx Can Foreign Languages Go Digital with Online Education? By Catherine Groux June 15, 2012 Today, online education has largely become accepted as an integral part of learning; however, some professionals question whether foreign languages in particular can be studied exclusively online. Learning a new language requires a great deal of speaking, hearing and social interaction, these individuals say, which simply cannot be provided through the internet.

Title: Article: A Start-Up Bets on Human Translators Over Machines
Body: From http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/06/19/a-computer-scientist-banks-on-human-superiority-over-machines A Start-Up Bets on Human Translators Over Machines By SOMINI SENGUPTA June 19, 2012 Language does not come naturally to machines. Unlike humans, computers cannot easily distinguish between, say, a river bank and a savings bank. Satire and jokes? Algorithms have great trouble with that. Irony? Wordplay? Cultural context? Forget it. That human edge in decoding what things mean is what a computer scientist turned entrepreneur, Luis von Ahn, is betting on. His start-up, Duolingo, which opened to the public on Tuesday, proposes to put armies of language learners to work translating text on the Web. For the learners, Duolingo offers basic lessons, followed by sentences to translate, one at a time, from simple to more difficult. For online content providers wanting translations, Duolingo offers, for now at least, free labor. Because it is still in its early days, there are no independent assessments available of how accurate or efficient it can be.
