Title: Language Advocacy: Are We Ready for a Language Shift
Body: From http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/global_learning/2013/09/the_language_shift.html The Language Shift by Marty Abbott September 18, 2013 What is it about the United States that we remain the only developed country that routinely graduates students from high school with the knowledge of only one language? … Most students have viewed language learning as a requirement, sometimes for graduation from high school, sometimes for admission to college or as a college requirement for a certain major. This leads to an attitude that several years of language study is something that you tick off your list of accomplishments. In addition, with the focus on study and not on communication, we have generations of Americans who feel that their investment in language study did not pay off in significant dividends. However, with our changing demographics, our emphasis on global competitiveness, and our increased use of the Internet and social media to stay connected—we are beginning to see a shift in attitude mainly among our young people. This shift involves viewing language learning and cultural understanding as a critical necessity for success in today's global environment. As young learners interact on a daily basis via the internet, they are increasingly engaging with those who do not necessarily speak English. While historically American citizens had little need to know other languages, the interconnectivity of today's society guarantees that most U.S. citizens will encounter someone whose native language is not English—for most on a daily basis. And it is this interconnectivity that is forcing the shift in interest in language learning across the United States. Read on at http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/global_learning/2013/09/the_language_shift.html to learn about an upcoming advocacy effort from the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages.

Title: All Students Benefit from Bilingual Education
Body: From http://languagemagazine.com/?p=11479 Bilingual education programs have a very positive effect on the native English speakers attending schools with such programs even though they do not take part in them, according to a groundbreaking study published in the Journal of Public Economics. Texas elementary students who speak English as their home language and were enrolled in schools with bilingual education programs performed much better on state math and reading tests than native English-speaking students at schools without bilingual education programs.

Title: NEH Summer Seminar on Socrates
Body: From http://apaclassics.org/index.php/apa_blog/apa_blog_entry/neh_summer_seminar_on_socrates NEH Summer Seminar on Socrates The seminar will run from June 22-July 25, 2014, and will begin with “the Socrates Problem,” which concerns the difficulty in discerning what the historical Socrates was like from inconsistent ancient sources. The remaining four weeks will focus on the main areas that philosophers and scholars generally agree are the most interesting ones from the point of view of contemporary philosophy: Socrates’ doctrine of obedience to civil law, which seems to oppose modern liberalism and its conception of individual autonomy; Socrates’ profession of ignorance and its implications for human inquiry and for what human knowledge would be, if someone were to achieve it; Socrates’ eudaimonism—the doctrine that value is to be understood in terms of human happiness or flourishing; and Socrates’ commitment to intellectualism, both in the explanation of human motivation and also in terms of how virtue is to be understood, so that in either case, cognition, rather than emotion or some other desiderative element, will be central to explanation. All pertinent information on the seminar may be found at its website: https://sites.google.com/a/lclark.edu/ndsmith/neh-summer-seminar-on-socrates Inquiries may be addressed to Nicholas D. Smith, Department of Philosophy & Classics Program, Lewis & Clark University, Portland, Oregon. Applications are due by March 4, 2014.
