Title: Assisting Sight-Impaired Students
Body: A recent request on the TESL mailing list for suggestions on accommodating blind students received the following suggestions. Although the list is intended for teachers of English, the suggestions should be useful for teachers of any language. ---- I had a blind student last year. I gave her a floppy disk with various texts on it. She put it into her laptop and then pulled out a braille pad. I was impressed with the technology but more impressed with the speed with which she could read aloud - as fast as the students reading the printed text. If students do need an electronic voice, this could be delivered via headphones so as not to disturb the others. Taylor, J. A Blind ESL Student. Teachers of English to speakers of other languages electronic list. TESL-L@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU (12 July 2005). ---- Try to be aware of how much information you are conveying in audible form, and how much you are leaving to other means. For example, I know some teachers who habitually say aloud everything they write on the board, and others who do not; likewise, some teachers call on students with a glance, while others use the student's name.

Title: Taiwan Program Aims to Improve Foreign Spouses' Language Skills
Body: Taiwan's Ministry of Education has invited linguists and language teachers to design a Chinese-learning curriculum to better assist the more than 125,000 foreign spouses who come to the country knowing little or nothing about its language and culture.

Title: France Considers Language Test for Immigrants
Body: For foreign-born residents, language skills are a key component of successful immigration, particularly in spheres such as employment. France's state secretary for social cohesion and women's rights recently announced plans to add the passing of a French language test to the requirements for a 10-year residence permit.
