Title: Article: Going for 90% Plus: How to Stay in the Target Language
Body: From http://www.actfl.org The October 2012 issue of ACTFL’s The Language Educator is now available to ACTFL members. This issue includes an article that is free to non-members as well: Going for 90% Plus: How to Stay in the Target Language, by Douglass Crouse. Here is an excerpt: There is no doubt that we as a profession have come a long way from the old drill-and-kill days. Today’s language classrooms increasingly reflect ACTFL’s recommendation that communication in the target language comprises at least 90% of instructional time, in line with an emphasis on Standards-based learning that places proficiency above grammatical precision. But the leap into 90%+ territory can be a daunting one, particularly in light of the strong pull past experience can exert on current practice. …At the heart of the 90% goal lie two questions that keep teachers up late, pop up routinely on online forums, draw crowds at conferences, and spark animated debate in department meetings: How do we make the target language comprehensible to our students? How do we persuade students to resist the easy path of English when speaking with one another? …Answers vary from instructor to instructor and from one group of learners to another. A class of college language majors might well crave an immersive environment, while students in a middle school classroom—with its mixed levels of motivation and readiness—might require a daily dose of coaxing. In that context, the 90%+ recommendation serves a dual purpose: as a lens through which teachers get a better sense of what the profession as a whole feels is good practice, and as a yardstick to measure the relative amounts of target and native language they themselves are using and promoting, says Robert Ponterio, a French professor at the State University of New York-Cortland. You can download the full article at http://www.actfl.org/publications/the-language-educator/sample-articles This article has generated considerable discussion on the FLTEACH listserv and on the MoreTPRS listserv. See the discussion on FLTEACH at http://listserv.buffalo.edu/cgi-bin/wa?S2=FLTEACH&q=concerns+about&s=&f=&a=October+2012&b= (generated by searching for the subject line “Concerns about ACTFL Oct. 2012 Target Language Article”).

Title: Bilingual Students in Washington Program Train To Be Interpreters
Body: From http://www.whatkidscando.org/featurestories/2012/09_student_interpreters/index.html Students train as interpreters, with benefits for all involved by Barbara Cervone October 14, 2012 On a fall morning in this community outside Seattle, most of the people waiting in line at the local food bank were elderly immigrants from Ukraine. From her post near the front desk Valentina, a local high school senior, spotted a woman hunched in frustration, struggling to understand a food-bank staffer’s repeated instructions. With little hesitation, she stepped in. “I’ve been in that position myself,” recalls Valentina, herself a Russian immigrant. “The person keeps talking, raising his voice as he grows impatient.” She knew just what to tell him: “If he wanted the lady to understand him, he’d have to pause between sentences to give me time to interpret. I also told him he’d need to speak slowly and respectfully.” Valentina’s experience as a newcomer served her well, but an unusual program in the Highline School District has served her even better. For more than a year, she has replaced her afternoon high-school electives with the Student Interpreter program at the nearby Puget Sound Skills Center. Open to bilingual high school juniors and seniors, the program offers this district’s English language learners an unusual leg up: the opportunity to gain real-world experience as interpreters.

Title: Bilingual Students in Washington Program Train To Be Interpreters
Body: From http://www.whatkidscando.org/featurestories/2012/09_student_interpreters/index.html Students train as interpreters, with benefits for all involved by Barbara Cervone October 14, 2012 On a fall morning in this community outside Seattle, most of the people waiting in line at the local food bank were elderly immigrants from Ukraine. From her post near the front desk Valentina, a local high school senior, spotted a woman hunched in frustration, struggling to understand a food-bank staffer’s repeated instructions. With little hesitation, she stepped in. “I’ve been in that position myself,” recalls Valentina, herself a Russian immigrant. “The person keeps talking, raising his voice as he grows impatient.” She knew just what to tell him: “If he wanted the lady to understand him, he’d have to pause between sentences to give me time to interpret. I also told him he’d need to speak slowly and respectfully.” Valentina’s experience as a newcomer served her well, but an unusual program in the Highline School District has served her even better. For more than a year, she has replaced her afternoon high-school electives with the Student Interpreter program at the nearby Puget Sound Skills Center. Open to bilingual high school juniors and seniors, the program offers this district’s English language learners an unusual leg up: the opportunity to gain real-world experience as interpreters. If they wish, they also gain entree to the professional translation and interpretation job market. Valentina herself is training to become a medical interpreter.
