Title: Article: Intelligence Official Calls Language ‘Central’ to New Strategy
Body: From http://www.defense.gov/news/newsarticle.aspx?id=118461 Intel Official Calls Language ‘Central’ to New Strategy By Natela Cutter November 6, 2012 Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence Michael G. Vickers was pleasantly surprised Nov. 3 when he encountered his former Spanish instructor at the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center here while observing a Spanish language class. As a young Special Forces soldier and then as an officer, Vickers graduated from the DLIFLC Czech course in 1977 and from the Spanish course in 1979 with top scores. “As we come out of a decade of wars, the world is getting more complicated, and there is more volatility, for example, across the Middle East,” he explained. “Having people with these [language] skills is tremendously valuable. If you are not going to have a lot there, you ought to have your best there. “I think [language] is really central,” he continued. “Our new defense strategy focuses on Asia, North Africa and the Middle East region, and these skills will be paramount to that strategy.” Read the full article at http://www.defense.gov/news/newsarticle.aspx?id=118461

Title: Article: Dual-Language Program Is about Building Bridges
Body: From http://www.news-gazette.com/news/education/2012-11-05/bilingual-program-about-building-bridges.html Bilingual program is about 'building bridges' by Meg Dickinson November 5, 2012 The Urbana school district this year started a dual-language program in kindergarten and first grade at Leal and Prairie schools. There are a total of six classrooms — four kindergartens and two first grades — in which English and Spanish speakers learn together in both languages. Leal Principal Spencer Landsman said he hasn't seen any native English-speaking students stressed out about being taught in Spanish. "They are totally unfazed," Landsman said, and they figure things out. "I haven't even seen a perplexed look." Guadalupe Ricconi, the Urbana school district's interim director of bilingual and multicultural programs, said she has enjoyed seeing students go through phases of language acquisition just as research on the topic predicts.

Title: Ohio State University Gets $9.6M State Department Grant for Asian Language Programs
Body: From http://www.bizjournals.com/columbus/news/2012/11/01/ohio-state-gets-96-million-us.html OSU gets $9.6M State Department grant for Asian language programs by Carrie Ghose November 1, 2012 The U.S. State Department has awarded a three-year, $9.6 million grant to Ohio State University’s Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures to set up and run four language institutes in Asia to immerse U.S. students in the culture of the language they’re learning. The department and National East Asian Languages Center will set up institutes in China, Japan, Korea and Indonesia. Ohio State professors Galal Walker and Mari Noda won the grant, and said in a release they expect the program to sustain itself with fees from Asian universities at the end of the grant period. Walker has worked at Ohio State to develop students’ cultural knowledge along with language fluency, which he said is critical to effective business communication. “We have proven that with the proper training in Chinese language and culture and sufficient amounts of work, Americans of all backgrounds can reach the highest level of capabilities for building successful China-related careers,” he said in a release.
