Title: $8.7 Million in Grants Awarded for Critical Foreign Language Instruction
Body: From http://www.ncela.gwu.edu/newsline/archives/2007/06/87_million_in_g.html U.S. Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings today announced $8.7 million in grants to school districts in 20 states to help increase the number of Americans learning foreign languages critical to national security and commerce. As part of President Bush's National Security Language Initiative, the grants are intended to address the shortage of critical foreign language speakers by supporting new and expanded programs in grades K-12. "Too few speak languages like Arabic, Chinese, and Farsi at a time when communication is vital to a peaceful world," said U.S. Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings. "We hope these funds will enable more students to become fluent in critical languages." Read the complete press release at http://www.ed.gov/news/pressreleases/2007/06/06152007.html .

Title: Article: Clubs Support Heritage Language Learners
Body: From http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/05/13/AR2007051301361.html Clubs Ground Students in Language of Their Roots By Maria Glod Monday, May 14, 2007 Educators say many first-, second- or even third-generation immigrant children speak socially in what is often called a heritage language but would be lost if they had to write an essay or a formal letter in that language. Research has shown that proficiency in a native language can help students become better English speakers. In an increasingly global economy, it also makes business sense. "The thrust has always been focused on English because that's the priority. You have to get people to learn English or they can't get ahead," said Maria Carreira, a Spanish professor at California State University at Long Beach. "But I feel like there's been this realization that these kids have these enormous skills, and we need to give them special training."
