Title: Kentucky World Language Association's 2019 State Showcase and Competition
Body:
On March 2, several hundred world language students will gather at the new Cathy and Don Jacobs Building at the University of Kentucky for the Kentucky World Language Association’s (KWLA) 2019 State Showcase and Competition.
This event is modeled after best practices in world language assessments, which allow students to show what they can do with language. It is open to late elementary, middle and high school students.
The showcase portion of the day will involve students being rated according to the proficiency levels from the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL). Each participant will take the ACTFL Assessment of Performance toward Proficiency in Languages listening and reading examinations and receive an official proficiency rating that can be reported on their high school transcripts. An individual interpersonal speaking assessment also will be given in person for each student in his or her language of study.
For the competition, students create a project that compares their culture with an aspect of the target language culture, which may take shape as an art piece, a construction model, a costume, or a tri-fold board showing their writing skills in their language of study. Students also may choose to submit a video of a dance, a dramatic monologue, a film, a poem recitation or a song, along with a written description of how the target culture is similar to and different from their own. Students do research ahead of time on a subject they love related to the target culture of their language of study to create the project.
Students can receive awards for first, second and third place projects among Novice and Intermediate students. Heritage Speakers of Spanish receive awards in their own category.
Learn more about this upcoming event at https://www.kentuckyteacher.org/subjects/global-competency-world-languages/2019/01/kwla-2019-state-showcase-set-for-march-2/, and register at http://kwla.org/state-showcase/

Title: Article: Sign Languages Also Need Protecting
Body:
Sign languages are fully-fledged, natural languages with their own dialects – they need protecting
by Anouschka Foltz
January 28, 2019
It’s welcome ... that 2019 marks the International Year of Indigenous Languages, along with the awareness raising this will bring, as indigenous communities who speak these languages are often marginalised and disadvantaged. But there are other communities who speak indigenous languages that may still not receive much attention: deaf communities around the world who use sign languages.
Sign languages are fully-fledged, complex, natural languages, with their own grammar, vocabulary, and dialects. There are over 140 recorded living sign languages in the world today.
...Deaf communities around the world face many similar challenges to indigenous peoples around the world. Like indigenous peoples, deaf people are often politically and socially isolated, have fewer educational and professional opportunities, and have limited access to information and public services.
