Title: Webinar: Program Assessment in Foreign Languages: How Language Centers Can Help
Body: From the LLTI listserv: On Friday September 14 at 3:00 pm ET/2 pm CT/1:00 MT/12:00 PT, please join Kristy Britt, Mike Ledgerwood, and Sharon Scinicariello for a panel discussion on the topic of "Program Assessment in Foreign Languages: How Language Centers Can Help." As accreditation agencies demand evidence during institutional reaccreditation of what students know and are able to do after completing a particular course of study, helping language departments conduct the program assessments that will give them this information is becoming an increasingly important part of the work conducted by language centers. The panelists are all members of IALLT who have participated in program assessment initiatives at their schools. They will talk about program assessment initiatives in which they have participated and explain the roles that language center directors can play in these critical initiatives. To sign up for the webinar, please visit the IALLT website at http://www.iallt.org . Click on the "Conferences" heading and select the "webinar" page, then fill in the registration form. In order to allow time for panelists to address questions from participants, seats are limited, so don't delay signing up! Once you have filled in the registration form, you will receive an email with instructions on how to access the webinar a few days before the webinar happens. If you run into any problems accessing the relevant section of the website, please email Sarah Withee swithee at coloradocollege dot edu and I will assist you. Hope to "see" you a week from Friday!

Title: Iroquois Linguistics Certificate at Syracuse University Comes at Important Time for Native Languages
Body: From http://indiancountrytodaymedianetwork.com/2012/09/02/iroquois-linguistics-certificate-at-syracuse-university-comes-at-important-time-for-native-languages-132152 Iroquois Linguistics Certificate at Syracuse University Comes at Important Time for Native Languages By Gale Courey Toensing September 2, 2012 Syracuse University will offer a new program in Iroquois linguistics this fall semester. The Native American Studies Program in Syracuse University’s College of Arts and Sciences has launched the Certificate in Iroquois Linguistics for Language Learners. This new undergraduate program targets students and teachers of Iroquois languages, and is designed to bolster Iroquois language revitalization efforts, according to a university news release. The program is unique across the country in that it will focus on teaching about linguistics and linguistics systems specific to the six languages of the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Confederacy: Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, Seneca, and Tuscarora. “So it’s not specifically focused on learning Mohawk, for example, but people interested in learning or teaching Mohawk will benefit from understanding the linguistics,” Arnold said. “Since most of the teachers in these revitalization programs are second-language speakers, there’s a demand for linguistics courses in which learners and teachers can learn the concepts and terminology to make better use of dictionaries and descriptive grammars written by linguists.” Read more: http://indiancountrytodaymedianetwork.com/2012/09/02/iroquois-linguistics-certificate-at-syracuse-university-comes-at-important-time-for-native-languages-132152
