Title: New Sign Language Class in Washington School
Body: From http://www.wenatcheeworld.com/news/2013/nov/08/kids-learn-language-of-hands Kids learn language of hands by Rick Steigmeyer November 8, 2013 You might hear the drone and clank of construction outside of Mimi Roe’s classroom at Eastmont High School. But inside, there’s nary a peep, hardly a whisper from students nor teacher during class. Roe teaches a sign language class during two periods each day. The class fulfills student requirements for a foreign language just like Spanish, French or German. This is the first time the class has been offered at Eastmont. It’s the only school in the valley offering sign language in its foreign language curriculum. Roe said administrators and teachers have been surprised at the popularity of the class. Nearly 20 students had to be turned away after the 58 seats in her two classes quickly filled during registration. Both of her classes have one deaf student who wear cochlear ear implants that give them a sense of sound similar to hearing.

Title: Abridged Version of Sayyidi wa Habibi for Arabic Learners
Body: From http://press.georgetown.edu/book/languages/hoda-barakats-sayyidi-wa-habibi Sayyidi wa Habibi (My Master and My Love) is a novel by acclaimed Lebanese author Hoda Barakat, abridged in this volume for learners of Arabic at the advanced low proficiency level. Designed as a supplementary text that adds variety and fun to a regular course on Arabic, it is complete with exercises that guide learners through the story and help them improve their Arabic skills, introducing learners of the language to the world of contemporary Arabic literature and improving their knowledge of Arabic culture.
