Title: Critical Language Program Development Takes Time
Body: Many school districts around the U.S. are building programs in response to President Bush's National Security Language Initiative, which announced that funding would be designated for the teaching of what are now called critical languages. But qualified teachers of these languages, which include Arabic, Chinese, Hindi, and Japanese, are often difficult to find. In addition, one program may have a different focus from another, as students' reasons for taking the language vary.
