Title: 'Flatmates': Online Soap Opera for English Language Learners
Body: From: http://www.ncela.gwu.edu/newsline/archives/2005/08/bbc_launches_on.html BBC World Service has launched its first online soap opera designed for English language learners. The Flatmates features a diverse young adult cast who share a flat and their everyday lives with one another. Visitors can listen to the episode online as many times as they would like and can interact with BBC on what they would like to see next as well as what vocabulary or grammer aspects they would like to learn. Quizzes are available to test new knowledge. The Flatmates provides an opportunity for English language learners to learn English as it is lived and spoken, rather than a more traditional approach.

Title: New Report: Expanding Chinese Language Capacity in the United States
Body: From: http://www.asiasociety.org/pressroom/edu-chinese_language.html Recognition of China’s dramatic rise is fueling a new demand for Chinese language speakers. Yet schools throughout the United States are largely unprepared to meet this need, lacking qualified teachers, programs, or creative uses of modern educational technologies, according to a new study released today by Asia Society. The report, entitled ExpandingChinese Language Capacity in the United States, recommends a national commitment to investment in teaching Chinese language and culture. Created by Asia Society’s education division, an international education leader in the K-12 field, the report documents a growing consensus among national security and foreign language experts, as well as business leaders and educators. Its analysis of the status of Chinese language instruction concludes that the current infrastructure to support recruitment of teachers and students and the growth of high quality programs is woefully inadequate. The study suggests short- and long-range strategies to address the question: What would it take to have five percent of American high school students learning Chinese by 2015?

Title: New Study Reveals ELLs' Graduation Obstacles
Body: The Center on Education Policy has found that high numbers of students who struggle to speak or read English well are unlikely to graduate, due to the challenges presented by high-stakes tests in a number of subjects. Due in part to a lack of skills needed to understand the tests and a schedule which takes away content class time for English language lessons, this performance gap is expected to increase unless states with graduation exams continue to increase funding for teacher training and other preparations for struggling students.

Title: 'Year of Languages' Radio Spots
Body: From: http://www.ncela.gwu.edu/newsline/archives/2005/08/year_of_languag.html College of Charleston and the National Museum of Language As part of the "Year of Languages" (YOL) celebration, the College of Charleston and the National Museum of Language have jointly sponsored development and distribution of a series of fifty-two radio spots on languages and linguistics. The spots are 5-minutes long and address a wide range of questions that a general audience might have about language, such as: Which language is the oldest? How do babies learn to talk? Where did the southern dialect come from? Whatever happened to Esperanto? The materials were written by 48 language experts from 23 states and the United Kingdom under the direction of Dr. Rick Rickerson of the College of Charleston. For more information about the series, including access to audio files of the broadcasts, visit the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Language's Web site at: http://www.actfl.org/i4a/pages/Index.cfm?pageid=3963

Title: Call for Proposals: Cultures and Languages Across the Curriculum
Body: From: http://intl-programs.uiowa.edu/projects/CLAC_info.htm This conference is designed for students, faculty members, international education professionals, and campus administrators interested in exploring the use of language and culture as a tool for internationalizing the curriculum across all disciplines. Teachers from elementary and secondary schools will find useful information that can be adapted to their instructional circumstances. We invite papers, presentations or posters that address any of the following topics: 1) Languages Across the Curriculum (LAC) and Content-Based Language Learning What are the intersections between LAC and content-based language learning theories and practices? Issues of importance here include the use of "authentic" texts and the development of FL/LAC textbooks, software, and web-based resources. 2) Cultures and Languages Across the Curriculum How can LAC programs highlight culture and cross-cultural communication and interpretation? Can we use improvements in cross-cultural competence as a "hook" for future language study and the adoption of LAC methods? 3) Business and Government Models of Internationalization To what extent can we differentiate the internationalization needs of business (the "metropolitan migrant" model?) and defense or diplomacy (the "expert" model?). How are their different needs met (or not) by the academy? How might we adapt LAC to fulfill varying needs? 4) LAC in the Context of Comparative, Cultural, and Area Studies What are the intersections between Comparative Literature, Cultural Studies, Area Studies, and LAC? Can these fields of study "meet" through the agency of LAC? 5) LAC and International Education Articulation How can LAC be incorporated into K-12 education? How can LAC be used as a "switch" between formal language study in the U.S. and the use of languages in education abroad? Deadline: September 9, 2005 For more information about the conference and submitting a proposal, visit: http://intl-programs.uiowa.edu/projects/CLAC_info.htm
