Title: Training Opportunity for Illinois Foreign Language Teachers
Body: From http://www.ictfl.org/content/2013/02/ictfl-train-teachers-meet-pera-tall-il-apply-now Under the Illinois School Code, Senate Bill 7, “Performance Evaluation Reform Act” (PERA), Illinois School Districts must adopt guidelines to measure and document student growth as a “significant” part of each teacher’s evaluation process. To support Illinois foreign language teachers and programs, ICTFL and ACTFL are collaborating through a performance-based assessment model so teachers will know how to demonstrate student growth and document language proficiency. TALL-IL or "Training for Assessment and Language Learning in Illinois" is a Joint ACTFL/ICTFL Initiative to sponsor a "train the trainer" program in which 3 or more Teacher Leaders from each Illinois Region are trained and then, in turn, train others in their Regions to meet the new Illinois state guidelines. Consider becoming a part of this exciting initiative by applying to become either a Teacher Leader or a Teacher Participant for TALL-IL. If interested, submit the World Language Regional Teacher Leader or Teacher Participant Applications by April 1, 2012.

Title: Bilingual Babies Know Their Grammar by 7 Months
Body: From http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/02/130214111606.htm Bilingual Babies Know Their Grammar by 7 Months February 14, 2013 Babies as young as seven months can distinguish between, and begin to learn, two languages with vastly different grammatical structures, according to new research from the University of British Columbia and Université Paris Descartes. Published February 14 in the journal Nature Communications and presented at the 2013 Annual Meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in Boston, the study shows that infants in bilingual environments use pitch and duration cues to discriminate between languages -- such as English and Japanese -- with opposite word orders.

Title: Bridgeport Elementary To Add Spanish Immersion Program Next Year
Body: From http://www.oregonlive.com/tigard/index.ssf/2013/02/bridgeport_elementary_to_add_s.html Bridgeport Elementary to add Spanish immersion program next year By Findley Merritt February 12, 2013 As the Hispanic population grows in Tigard-Tualatin School District, Bridgeport Elementary School will start a Spanish-English dual language program next year. At least two full-day kindergarten classes will be taught in Spanish for half of instructional time as part of the school's first language immersion program. If there is enough enrollment to start more than two classes in kindergarten and first grade, they will. "This is a no brainer," Director Jill Zurschmeide said. Bridgeport is the second school in the district to start an opt-in dual-language program. Metzger Elementary School added the same program in two full-day kindergarten classrooms last fall and since, has received positive feedback from teachers and parents.
