Title: Presentation: Meet the iTunes U Language Learner
Body: From https://blog.coerll.utexas.edu/meet-the-itunes-u-language-learner Have you ever wondered about those students who are learning foreign languages on iTunes? There are over 600 free language learning collections on iTunes. People are using them. What do you know about these students? Earlier this year, Fernando Rosell-Aguilar presented a paper at the e-Learning Symposium in Southampton University in the UK about the iTunes U language learner. The findings show that most iTunes U learners have quite a different profile compared to university learners: from their age and gender to their occupation and motivations for accessing iTunes U language resources.

Title: Biliteracy Would Get Federal Boost in Proposed Legislation
Body: From http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/learning-the-language/2013/07/biliteracy_would_get_federal_b.html Biliteracy Would Get Federal Boost in Proposed Legislation By Lesli A. Maxwell July 8, 2013 States seeking to grant special recognition to their multilingual high school graduates would get a big boost from the federal government under new legislation introduced by a California congresswoman. U.S. Rep. Julia Brownley, a Democrat, introduced the Biliteracy Education Seal and Teaching (BEST) Act late last month, a measure that would create grants in the U.S. Department of Education to help states that want to establish "seal of biliteracy" programs that support and recognize students who demonstrate proficiency in English and at least one other language. Brownley sponsored similar legislation in California, the first state to offer a seal of biliteracy to its high school graduates. New York followed suit last year. Illinois lawmakers approved a seal of biliteracy bill late last month—that measure awaits the governor's signature. The federal grants—which Brownley's bill proposes to be $10 million annually from fiscal 2015 through fiscal 2019—would be used to cover the administrative costs of setting up and carrying out a seal of biliteracy program, as well as for public outreach.

Title: Business Schools Value Multilingualism
Body: From http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2013-07-01/b-schools-are-speaking-the-language-of-business B-Schools Are Speaking the Language of Business By Matt Symonds July 1, 2103 A growing number of business schools seem to be taking the view that a degree of fluency in at least one other major language is essential for the next generation of corporate leaders, despite the fact that most of their international programs are now conducted in English. One of those committed to this trend is the Moore School of Business at the University of South Carolina. Its international MBA program puts students through intensive language training starting with a one-month introductory module, backed up by between four months and a full year of immersion overseas. In Europe, every London Business School MBA student must achieve competency in one language other than English by graduation, while INSEAD requires candidates for the France and Singapore campuses to demonstrate at least a practical knowledge of another language before starting the program and a basic knowledge of a third language before graduating.

Title: Book: Sign Language Research, Uses and Practices
Body: From http://www.degruyter.com/view/product/182719?format=G Sign Language Research, Uses and Practices: Crossing Views on Theoretical and Applied Sign Language Linguistics Edited by Laurence Meurant, Aurélie Sinte, Mieke Van Herreweghe, Mieke, and Myriam Vermeerbergen Published by de Gruyter The uses and practices of sign languages are strongly related to scientific research on sign languages and vice versa. Conversely, sign linguistics cannot be separated from Deaf community practices, including practices in education and interpretation. Therefore, the current volume brings together work on sign language interpreting, the use of spoken and sign language with deaf children with cochlear implants and early language development in children exposed to both a spoken and sign language, and reports on recent research on aspects of sign language structure. It also includes papers addressing methodological issues in sign language research. The book presents papers by "more seasoned" researchers and "new kids on the block", as well as papers in which the two collaborate. The contributions will be of interest to all those interested in linguistics, sociolinguistics, cultural studies, interpreting and education. It will have particular relevance to those interested in sign linguistics, sociolinguistics of deaf communities, Deaf studies, Deaf culture, sign language interpretation, sign language teaching, and (spoken/signed) bilingualism. Given the scarcity of literature on "Deaf studies", the book will also appeal widely beyond the traditional academic milieu. As a result, it has relevance for those teaching and learning sign languages, for professional and student interpreters and for teachers of the deaf.

Title: Hindi Lessons in Demand iHindi Lessons in Demand in United Statesn United States
Body: From http://tinyurl.com/nrmpvb5 Namaste USA! Hindi Lessons a Hit Abroad By Preetika Rana June 8, 2013 A decade ago, when the U.S. Department of State named Hindi as one of the world’s must-learn languages, it was mainly aspiring government servants who were keen to pick up the Indian tongue because doing so gained them bonus points in the U.S. foreign service exam. The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Central Investigative Agency also offered better jobs to employees who had learnt the language. But with India poised to be a global superpower, experts say the demand for Hindi classes has shot up in recent years, particularly in the U.S. “Definitely, more and more programs and courses relating to India, specifically Hindi, have come up over the last few years,” Richard Delacy, a Hindi professor at Harvard University, said in a recent interview with The Wall Street Journal. Last year, for instance, the student body of Medford-based Tufts University in the U.S. demanded Hindi be made part of their curriculum after a campus survey found at least a fifth of 1,100 students would opt for it as a foreign language. Popular schools, including Illinois-based Northwestern University and The Ohio State University, recently opened applications for Hindi professors. Read the full article at http://tinyurl.com/nrmpvb5
