The Fellowship is intended to recognize secondary-school teachers of Greek or Latin who are as dedicated to their students as the Coffins themselves by giving them the opportunity to enrich their teaching and their lives through direct acquaintance with the classical world. It will support study in classical lands (not limited to Greece and Italy); the recipient may use it to attend an educational program in (e.g. American Academy, American School) or to undertake an individual plan of study or research. It may be used either for summer study or during a sabbatical leave, and it may be used to supplement other awards or prizes. Candidates for the Fellowship must have been teaching Latin or Ancient Greek at the secondary level (grades 9-12) in North America as a significant part of their academic responsibilities for three years out of the five prior to the award. The amount of the award for 2013 will be $2,750. All application materials must be received no later than 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on Friday, February 15, 2013.

Title: Article: Researchers Say Language Learning Begins in the Womb
Body: From http://www.stltoday.com/lifestyles/health-med-fit/health/researchers-say-language-learning-begins-in-the-womb/article_0006fa34-e03e-5c15-8ff5-3ea4016d344c.html Researchers say language learning begins in the womb By STEVEN PERLBERG January 24, 2013 When Dr. Raul Artal, director of obstetrics at St. Mary’s Health Center, counseled his own pregnant daughter last year, he told her to play music to soothe her gestating baby. Now a new study shows that Artal’s infant grandson may have learned language skills — in addition to his mother’s taste in music — during his time in the womb. The study out of Tacoma, Wash., and Stockholm, Sweden, shows that during the last 10 weeks of pregnancy, babies glean language information from their mothers. The findings mark one of the first times scientists have seen evidence that language learning begins in utero. Researchers examined 80 American and Swedish infants – an even mix of girls and boys. Thirty hours after the babies were born, researchers outfitted them with headphones that played vowel sounds in both their native tongue and the foreign language. Pacifiers wired to a computer measured the babies’ reactions to the different sounds. The more a baby sucked after hearing a computer-generated vowel, the more she demonstrated interest in that particular language-specific sound. Researchers found that the newborns sucked longer for the foreign language, suggesting that the infants already had a familiarity with their native tongue at birth. The researchers concluded that the babies in both countries, not yet 2 days old, had learned prenatally to differentiate between sounds and languages.

Title: Article: Polish School Helps New Bedford Immigrants
Body: From http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/2013/01/20/polish-school-helps-new-bedford-immigrants/DJ9MPxw0DYRJQKrAoP0oyI/story.html Polish school helps New Bedford immigrants By MATT CAMARA January 20, 2013 ‘‘What day is it? What day is tomorrow? Yesterday?’’ she'd ask each of the students, girls between 7 and 14-years-old, in turn. The girls answered the teacher’s questions without reverting to English, their responses punctuated by the instructor saying ‘‘dobry’’ — Polish for ‘‘good’’ — and moving on to the next lesson. ‘‘Even though (the students) speak Polish at home, it’s difficult to teach the grammar, the writing,’’ said Renata Morrison, principal of the Polish School of New Bedford, while she walked a reporter through the halls of Holy Family-Holy Name School, where Polish is the language of instruction Saturday mornings. ‘‘We don’t make money on this, it’s just to help our children become fluent in a second language, their native language.’’ The Polish School of New Bedford took in its first students last March after a group of parents banded together in search of a way to keep their native culture alive, said Morrison, herself a Polish immigrant. The nonprofit school holds classes at Holy Family-Holy Name on Saturday mornings and $50 buys a month of classes, she added.
