Title: Public Television Plans a Network for Latinos
Body: From http://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/07/arts/television/07wnet.html?ex=1171774800&en=c0a7e03cfe2a60cc&ei=5070 Public Television Plans a Network for Latinos By ELIZABETH JENSEN February 7, 2007 In a move to take public broadcasting closer to Spanish-speaking viewers, executives are expected to announce today that a new network, V-me, will go on the air on March 5 in major American cities with large Latino populations. It will offer a mix of Spanish-language children’s and adult programming with an educational focus. An initial 18 public television stations, including WNET, which reach about 60 percent of Spanish speakers in the United States, have agreed to carry V-me’s programming on the spinoff channels that are the results of their conversion to a digital broadcast signal. In the cities where the channel will be available, including Miami, Houston, Chicago and most of the major California markets, it will be seen over the air by viewers with digital-capable sets as well as on the digital tier of cable systems. V-me’s management is also pursuing broadcast via satellite. Read the entire article at http://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/07/arts/television/07wnet.html?ex=1171774800&en=c0a7e03cfe2a60cc&ei=5070 .

Title: Heritage Language Learner Resources
Body: From http://www.geocities.com/dmscalera/index.html The articles at this website address various topics related to heritage language instruction. Some are journal articles and some are contributions to FLTeach. -Teacher Beliefs and the Heritage Language Learner: What Will You Teach Your Students? (How does what you believe about yourself as a teacher and what you believe about your students' abilities impact your teaching?) -Roots of Varietal Prejudice: Could it be the Spanish Language Classroom? (Why are students convinced that they speak "bad" Spanish? This article traces the history of the linguistics and language instruction to the Spanish conquest of the Americas and makes connections between the negative attitudes toward different varieties of Spanish and the goals of that conquest.) -The Invisible Learner Unlocking the Heritage Language Treasure (This article discusses how to serve all heritage learners in your foreign language classroom--those who are learning their own language in addition to those who are learning a third language.) -Metalinguistic Awareness in Multilingual's: Cognitive Aspects of Third Language Learning (This article discusses the advantages that individuals might have learning their third language.) -Documentary Film Review "I Speak Arabic" -Should School Districts Redirect Funds or Resources Toward Developing New Programs for Critical Languages? (The National Security Language Initiative has created new opportunities to teach languages other than English. This article will present a historical background of this initiative and how funding priorities need to be changed in order to produce the broad-based linguistic and cultural proficiency that is lacking.) -FLTeach contributions: Heritage Language Instruction, Immigration Debate, The Internet, Videos Recommendations These articles are available at http://www.geocities.com/dmscalera/articles.html .

Title: News Article: New York Small Schools Lose Immigrant Programs
Body: From http://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/14/education/14education.html?pagewanted=1&_r=2&ref=education On Different Pages With Bilingual Education By SAMUEL G. FREEDMAN February 14, 2007 Lafayette High School in Brooklyn and Samuel J. Tilden High School in East Flatbush have been ordered to shut down, condemned as educational failures, and converted into several new small schools. However, none of those new schools is geared towards the large immigrant populations served by the larger schools. In the trade-off for the closing of Lafayette and Tilden, with the net loss of about 800 places in bilingual and E.S.L. classes, the Education Department has announced the opening of only one small school geared to immigrant pupils in the entire borough. And even now, less than two weeks before eighth graders throughout the city must submit their applications to high schools, the department has not revealed the location of that school, the Multicultural High School. For all any parent or child knows at this point, it could be anywhere from Bay Ridge to Brownsville.

Title: GLOSS: Reading and Writing Lessons
Body: From http://gloss.lingnet.org GLOSS offers over 1100 reading and listening lessons in 12 languages. The lesson database is searchable in 5 different ways: Language - GLOSS currently offers lessons across 12 languages. The current selections includes: Albanian, Arabic, Chinese, Croatian, Dari, Greek, Indonesian, Korean, Persian, Russian, Serbian and Spanish. New languages are being added every year. For 2007, expect to see Dari, Pashto, Thai as well as others. Proficiency Level - GLOSS offers materials at ILR levels 2 through 3+/4. Not all levels are available for all languages. For instance, 3+/4 is only available in Spanish. Skill/Modality - Within the system there are lessons for both the reading and listening skills. Most languages have both types of lessons, but there are generally more reading materials available than listening. Each reading lesson does; however, contain an audio version of the source text. Topic - GLOSS organizes the materials into ten content/topical domains: culture, economy, environment, geography, military, politics, science, society, and technology. Competence - All of the GLOSS lessons are categorized into one of three primary competencies: lexical (vocabulary), structure (grammar), and discourse (devices that bind texts, conversations, etc.). Additionally, all lessons address the socio-cultural competence through teacher notes and the like. Search for lessons at http://gloss.lingnet.org/searchResources.aspx .
