Title: Maine Middle School Offers Sign Language Classes
Body: From http://www.mpbn.net/News/MaineNewsArchive/tabid/181/ctl/ViewItem/mid/3475/ItemId/24412/Default.aspx There's a new language class at Lyman Moore Middle School in Portland. American Sign Language - or ASL - is now one of three world language classes students can take, along with French and Spanish. Lyman Moore is the first middle school in Maine to offer ASL, and there's a reason: Last year, they welcomed their first deaf students into the school. As Patty Wight reports, the ASL class aims to bridge the gap between hearing and non-hearing cultures.

Title: The Korean Wave: New Teaching Materials from CALPER
Body: From http://calper.la.psu.edu The CALPER Korean Project, headed by Project Director Susan Strauss (Penn State), has published two new units in the series "Korean Discourse and Genre.” While the first four units focused on major Korean Holidays 설, 보름, 단오, and 추석, the new materials have "The Korean Wave" as their theme. The Korean Wave began in the late 90s and has now reached tidal wave proportions.

The Korean Wave provides a robust source of language, genre, and culture for an exciting fusion with the new National Standards approach to Korean language teaching.
