Title: Article: U.S. Needs Integrated Approach to Improve Foreign Language Skills and Cultural Expertise
Body: From http://www8.nationalacademies.org/onpinews/newsitem.aspx?RecordID=11841 U.S. Needs Integrated Approach to Improve Foreign Language Skills and Cultural Expertise March 27, 2007 WASHINGTON -- The 14 U.S. Department of Education programs designed to strengthen education in foreign languages and in international and area studies -- known collectively as Title VI and Fulbright-Hays -- have made some progress but lack the resources necessary to keep pace with their mission, says a new report from the National Research Council. And the Education Department does not appear to have a master plan for these efforts, which may not bode well for the nation's security and competitiveness. More support from all levels of the U.S. education system is needed to develop an integrated approach to improving foreign language skills and expertise on other cultures, beginning in the primary grades, the report says. Also, the Department of Education should consolidate oversight of its foreign language and international education programs under a high-ranking official who would provide strategic direction and coordinate its work with related activities at other federal agencies. Universities should play key roles, partnering with federal officials to create systems to continuously improve the programs, the report says. "The nation's infrastructure for international and foreign language education is weak at a time when the United States faces unprecedented demands for globally aware citizens and professionals," said Janet L. Norwood, chair of the committee that wrote the report, a counselor and senior fellow at the Conference Board Inc., and former U.S. commissioner of labor statistics.

Title: Article: Navajo Language Immersion School Makes Adequate Yearly Progress
Body: From http://www.edweek.org/ew/articles/2007/03/21/28navajo.h26.html? A Culture Put to the Test For Navajo children, a rigorous program draws on tradition to spur achievement. By Mary Ann Zehr April 15, 2007 Ask Marilyn Begay why the Navajo-immersion school where she is a 5th grade teacher has fared well in meeting student-achievement goals under the No Child Left Behind Act, and she’ll say it’s because the school integrates Navajo language and culture into its curriculum. Put the same question to Maggie Benally, the school’s principal, and she’ll credit instruction driven by analysis of students’ test scores. The Navajo Language Immersion School—Tséhootsooí Diné Bi’ólta’, to use its Navajo name—made adequate yearly progress in all subgroups under the federal law last school year, Ms. Benally said, because “the teachers know exactly where their students are in terms of data.” Educators at the Navajo-immersion school, in which 71 percent of students are from low-income families, have embraced state academic standards and federal accountability requirements under the law through a school improvement plan. But the school also teaches standards for Navajo culture published by the tribe and operates a program intended to teach literacy and improve oral proficiency in Diné—the word Navajos use for their people and language.
