Title: New Polish Proficiency Assessment
Body:
Expanding Opportunities for Polish Speakers: As Seal of Biliteracy Testing Increases, So Should Access
March 5, 2018
The number of states and school districts offering the "Seal of Biliteracy" continues to increase rapidly across the country, providing tremendous opportunity for students who have put the work in to master a second language.
As the initiative grows, we need to make sure the Seal is available not just for students studying more commonly taught languages like Spanish or French, or for school districts who can afford assessments, but any student who is proficient in a language other than English.
That's why Avant Assessment partnered with the Polish Mission of Orchard Lake Schools in Michigan to create the first ever nationally-recognized Polish proficiency assessment. Polish students in Michigan, which officially adopted the Seal of Biliteracy last month, will now have access to the Seal of Biliteracy.

Title: German Let's Play Videos as a Language Resource
Body:
Jesika Brooks writes, "Let's Play videos are a type of screencast where gamers play through video and computer games, sometimes featuring additional webcam footage or voice-over commentary on the stream itself. ... Although Let's Play is a genre that's flourished on English-language YouTube, there are also many German-speaking streamers. In their streams, you'll not only hear hours of conversational speech-sometimes with different dialects-but also running commentary centered on a single topic. For this reason, Let's Play videos are a treasure trove of German-language listening practice."
