Title: American Councils and The RAND Corporation Investigate Effects of Dual-Language Immersion on Student Achievement
Body: From http://www.americancouncils.org/news/gu/American_Councils_and_the_RAND_Corporation_Will_Investigate_Effects_of_DualLanguage_Immersion_on_Student_Achievement American Councils for International Education is pleased to announce the award of a new, three-year research grant from the Department of Education’s Institute of Education Sciences. In partnership with the RAND Corporation and Portland Public Schools, American Councils launched a study on July 2, 2012, entitled “The Effect of Dual-Language Immersion on Student Achievement in the Portland Public Schools,” that will examine the effect of dual-language immersion on student achievement in English language arts, mathematics, and science. The link between foreign language study and educational performance in other K-12 subject areas is a matter of concern for educational policymakers and educators in many countries. American Councils will collaborate with RAND, a nonprofit institution that helps improve policy and decision-making through research and analysis, on project design and implementation. American Councils will also be responsible for assisting in establishing metrics for student achievement in science, technology and related fields at the elementary and secondary school level, as well as metrics for second-language acquisition within the context of a dual-language immersion K-12 program.

Title: U.S. Colleges Show Trend Toward Internationalization
Body: From http://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/09/us/09iht-educbriefs09.html?_r=1 U.S. Colleges Show Trend Toward Internationalization By CHRISTOPHER F. SCHUETZE July 8, 2012 U.S. colleges and universities are becoming more international, even if second-language education is decreasing and funding is stagnating in some cases, according to a study released last month by the American Council on Education. “Mapping Internationalization on U.S. Campuses” examined funding, degree requirements, curriculums, admissions, hiring policies and self-perception to measure to what extent U.S. universities are looking outside the country. “We are constantly reminded that in order to compete in the 21st century, the U.S. work force must be prepared to operate across borders,” said the council’s president, Molly Corbett Broad. The report found that a majority of institutions reported an increase in internationalization in the last three years. When asked whether the trend had accelerated, 93 percent of doctoral institutions and 78 percent of master’s institutions said yes. However, only 47 percent of the schools that thought they were becoming more international had more money dedicated to the process now than five years ago. In one of the sharpest increases, 68 percent of institutions claim that international background and experience were considered when hiring faculty, up from 32 percent in 2006. Foreign language studies have become less commonplace. Only 37 percent of undergraduate students now have to learn a foreign language to graduate, down from nearly 53 percent in 2001.

Title: Companies Combine Soccer Training with Language Immersion
Body: From http://www.sacbee.com/2012/07/08/4614603/ex-kennedy-high-star-offers-soccer.html Ex-Kennedy High star offers soccer-language immersion programs around the world By David Caraccio July 8, 2012 With an eye toward playing soccer at the college level, Elk Grove High School junior Megan Wilson got a chance last summer to improve her game in a way she never thought possible. Wilson trained with elite players from around the world at a soccer academy in Madrid, one of eight international venues operated by EduKick Inc., a company founded 11 years ago by Joey Bilotta, 47, a former soccer standout at Sacramento's Kennedy High School who also played for professional teams in the capital and elsewhere. Wilson's soccer skills weren't the only thing that improved. Her three-week EduKick program also featured Spanish immersion courses. Think of your typical exchange program that offers travel and study abroad – the type parents and high school students have been taking part in for decades. Now add intense soccer training in the world's strongest futbol nations – such as England, Spain, Brazil and Italy – and you have an idea of what EduKick is selling. Another player in the market is Pleasant Hill-based International Futbol X-change, founded by Michael Carlson, a former player, in 2003. Carlson said he didn't model his company after EduKick. IFX, which has recruited players from Sacramento, places students individually with host families and on various youth clubs rather than together at academies.
