Title: U.S. House Passes Holt Legislation to Establish National Language Service Corps
Body: From http://www.holt.house.gov/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1071&Itemid=18 Legislation passed on Thursday evening by the U.S. House of Representatives would permanently establish a National Language Service Corps (NLSC) within the Department of Defense to help meet critical defense-related foreign language needs. The NLSC provision was written by U.S. Rep. Rush Holt (NJ-12) and Sen. Daniel Akaka (D-HI). It is part of the National Defense Authorization Act, which is expected to pass the Senate and be signed into law in the days ahead. The bill provides that the NLSC will “provide a pool of nongovernmental personnel with foreign language skills who… agree to provide foreign language services to the Department of Defense.” The Secretary of Defense will then be able to “call upon members of the Corps to provide foreign language services to the Department of Defense or another department or agency of the United States.” The NLSC currently exists as a pilot program that has recruited more than 1,800 members. To date, NLSC members have worked with the Department of the Navy, the National Security Agency, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and other federal agencies. For instance, the NLSC provided translation and interpretation support services to the U.S. Army Pacific for counterinsurgency training in Thailand.

Title: University of Alaska Fairbanks Receives Grant for Native Language Programs
Body: From http://newsminer.com/view/full_story/21189371/article-UAF-lands--1-9M-for-linguistics-programs UAF lands $1.9M for linguistics programs by Jeff Richardson December 20, 2012 The University of Alaska Fairbanks has received a $1.9 million federal grant to support Alaska Native language programs. The U.S. Department of Education grant will fund a three-year project to boost computer-assisted language learning programs and graduate education for teachers. The effort, dubbed the CALL project, is to support Native language programs in rural Alaska by graduating more Alaska Natives with doctoral and master’s degrees. Students funded through the grant will work in groups including a faculty member, an Alaska Native doctoral student and about five master’s students. The groups will work to improve the teaching of Native languages and students who speak English as a second language. The program aims to help master’s degree students become certified teachers who work in language immersion schools, dual language programs and bilingual programs. They will prepare CALL materials for their classrooms as part of their projects, and each participating classroom will receive a SmartBoard and a set of iPads to be used by the students. UAF associate professor Sabine Siekmann will lead the project, with partners that include the Association of Village Council Presidents and the Lower Kuskokwim School District.
