Title: In Missouri, Students Are Studying Foreign Language Longer
Body: From http://www.stltoday.com/suburban-journals/stcharles/education/students-are-studying-foreign-language-longer/article_c37a18c8-5bcc-5203-a371-7adac3912ca6.html Students are studying foreign language longer by Sarah Baraba December 5, 2012 Even though Missouri, and many high schools, don't require it for high school graduation, the number of public school students taking foreign language classes has more than doubled the past two decades. The growth was not a sudden spike but rather a steady climb, St. Charles County educators said. Today, more students than ever are electing to take foreign language, as well as world history, to better their chances at earning early college credit and beefing up high school resumes. Schools have broadened their catalogs of humanities courses like foreign language and world history to mirror an increasingly international college and career environment.

Title: Article: Foreign Language Immersion Improves Chances of Student Success
Body: From http://www.voxxi.com/foreign-language-immersion-success Foreign language immersion improves chances of student success By John Benson December 5, 2012 [Joint National Committee for Languages-National Council for Language and International Studies (JNCL-NCLIS) Executive Director William P.] Rivers admitted data on foreign language immersion of elementary age school children is minimal, but a new study kicked off this past summer in Portland, Ore. by the American Councils for International Education and nonprofit think-tank Rand Corp. The three-year review is being funded by a $1.7 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education’s Institute of Education Sciences. “The results generally show the more language kids get, the more striking the results are,” Rivers said. “They score better on all sorts of standardized measures, whether it’s first language literacy, mathematics and more. And there’s lots of other data on socio-economic outcome. People who speak a foreign language tend to make more money. Something like 3 percent on average regardless of the field, assuming they also speak English.” Read more: http://www.voxxi.com/foreign-language-immersion-success

Title: Through Skype, Wisconsin School Trades Teachers with Thailand
Body: From http://www.jsonline.com/news/education/through-skype-lodi-school-trades-teachers-with-thailand-077qlgn-181639581.html Through Skype, Lodi school trades teachers with Thailand By Erin Richards and Jennifer Zahn November 20, 3012 "Sawadee ka!" announced with palms together and a slight bow, was the most common greeting heard Monday morning in Lodi High School's Southeast Asia studies class. The lead teacher in Thailand - where for her it was late Monday night - surveyed the room from an oversize Mac monitor on a rolling cart. Her floating visage and voice beaming to Lodi over Skype had, by this point in the semester, lost its novelty. What's still unusual is this small rural high school's flourishing relationship with Sa-nguan Ying School, a public seven-12 school halfway around the world in Suphanburi, Thailand. The partnership started as a student/teacher exchange and evolved into dual distance-learning classes that feature Wisconsin students taking an accredited Asian cultural studies course from a Thai teacher, and Thai students learning U.S. history from a retired Lodi teacher. The Lodi-Thailand program is not the only example of innovative global learning projects in Wisconsin's schools, many of which use technology that makes it easier than ever to connect to other parts of the world. But it exemplifies how schools can fundamentally deepen and enrich the traditional American learning experience, with little financial cost, if educators persist in thinking beyond the boundaries of their community and country.

Title: Article: Pushing Science’s Limits in Sign Language Lexicon
Body: From http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/04/science/sign-language-researchers-broaden-science-lexicon.html?_r=0 Pushing Science’s Limits in Sign Language Lexicon By DOUGLAS QUENQUA December 3, 2012 Imagine trying to learn biology without ever using the word “organism.” Or studying to become a botanist when the only way of referring to photosynthesis is to spell the word out, letter by painstaking letter. For deaf students, this game of scientific Password has long been the daily classroom and laboratory experience. Words like “organism” and “photosynthesis” — to say nothing of more obscure and harder-to-spell terms — have no single widely accepted equivalent in sign language. Now thanks to the Internet — particularly the boom in online video — resources for deaf students seeking science-related signs are easier to find and share. Crowdsourcing projects in both American Sign Language and British Sign Language are under way at several universities, enabling people who are deaf to coalesce around signs for commonly used terms.

Title: Oklahoma Schools Push to Keep Native Languages Alive
Body: From http://indiancountrytodaymedianetwork.com/article/oklahoma-schools-push-keep-native-languages-alive-146133 Oklahoma Schools Push to Keep Native Languages Alive by Lynn Armitage December 6, 2012 On September 13, the U.S. House and Senate introduced bipartisan legislation to continue funding that will help keep Native American languages alive and spoken throughout our country’s tribal communities. The Esther Martinez Native American Languages Preservation Act, first funded in 2008 and set to expire at the end of this year, has funneled more than $50 million into tribal language programs. According to the Tulsa World, six Native languages once spoken in Oklahoma have disappeared and 14 are endangered. In this state with numerous tribes and languages, there is a strong effort in public schools and some universities to keep Native languages thriving. One survey says nine different Native languages are taught in up to 34 public schools, K-12, all over Oklahoma: Cherokee, Cheyenne, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Comanche, Kiowa, Osage, Pawnee and Ponca. Desa Dawson, director of World Language Education for the Oklahoma State Department of Education, says 1,355 elementary and high school students in Oklahoma are taking Native American language classes this year as their world language requirement.

Title: Book: A Student Grammar of German
Body: From http://www.cambridge.org/us/knowledge/isbn/item6469788/A%20Student%20Grammar%20of%20German/?site_locale=en_US A Student Grammar of German By Paul Stocker Published by Cambridge University Press Description: A Student Grammar of German is an invaluable reference guide for undergraduates and other intermediate and advanced students. Written with the needs of the learner very much in mind, it sets out the grammar of the language in as clear and jargon-free way as possible. Each chapter starts with an overview of the main grammatical terminology and concepts; these terms are also cross-referenced in the glossary at the end of the book. To provide a visual guide through each chapter, the main points in each section are highlighted, and tables summarize important patterns. 'Tip' boxes, which help the student to master particular points, are scattered through the text. Every point has numerous illustrative examples, each with its translation, carefully chosen from a wide range of printed and electronic media – books, newspapers, magazines, film, and chat-rooms – to reflect contemporary usage across a range of registers.
