Title: Delaware Recruits Immersion Teachers
Body: From http://www.delmarvanow.com/article/20120814/DW08/208140327/Teachers-immerse-languages?odyssey=mod|newswell|text|Delaware%20Wave|p Teachers immerse in languages Foreign educators to aid proficiency by Andrew Staub August 14, 2012 [M]ore than 340 kindergarteners … will dive into foreign languages this year, spending half their school day being taught in Mandarin Chinese or Spanish. The four immersion programs, spread among three schools across the state, have already proved a popular draw, with interested students quickly outnumbering the available slots at some schools. The classes will focus on building language proficiency rather than grammar. Students will learn academic content through Spanish or Chinese as well as English, and classes will have a teacher for each language, according to the Department of Education. With Gov. Jack Markell putting in a $1.9 million annual investment, the DOE wants language immersion to reach 10 programs next year and 20 programs by 2015. Five years after that, the goal is to have 8,000 K-8 students in immersion programs. Finding qualified bilingual teachers has been a challenge.

Title: Documentary Follows Native Students Learning and Preserving Tewa Language
Body: From http://indiancountrytodaymedianetwork.com/2012/08/14/documentary-follows-native-students-learning-and-preserving-tewa-language-128634 Documentary Follows Native Students Learning and Preserving Tewa Language By Vincent Schilling August 14, 2012 In November 2009, Santa Fe Preparatory School in Santa Fe, New Mexico sent out a newsletter announcing a self-study curriculum in which Native teenagers would study the Tewa language with the help of a mentor. When producer/director Aimée Broustra heard about it she decided to make a documentary. In the film, the Native youth, who are all Tewa, spend hours learning the Tewa language with mentor Laura Kaye Eagles, a seventh grade literature teacher at Santa Fe Prep. The pilot program is administered with the Indigenous Language Institute to help revitalize Native languages. The students get language credit for studying Tewa, as opposed to studying French or Spanish. The Young Ancestors was recently named an official selection of the 2012 White Sands International Film Festival being held August 22 to 26.

Body: From the Arabic-L listserv: We would like to introduce you to three teaching resources that could be useful for teachers of Arabic in general and those using the Alif Baa and Al-Kitaab, Part I, 3rd edition textbooks in particular. These resources are accessible at the following websites free of any charge: 1. http://press.georgetown.edu/al-kitaab/a/Teacher_Resources/Alif_Baa_3rd_Edition This site provides detailed schedules, lesson plans, activities, and sample exams for the 10 units in Alif Baa, 3rd edition. The site is complete and ready to welcome all teachers. 2. http://press.georgetown.edu/alkitaab/a/Teacher_Resources/Al_Kitaab_Part1_3rd_Edition Provides detailed schedules, lesson plans, activities, and sample exams for the first 12 lessons in Al-Kitaab, part I, Third Edition.
