Title: Call for Papers: International Workshop on Spoken Languages Technologies for Under-Resourced Languages
Body: From http://www.mica.edu.vn/sltu This International Workshop on Spoken Languages Technologies for Under-resourced languages (SLTU) will be held at Hanoi University of Technology, Hanoi, Vietnam, May 5 -May 7, 2008. The SLTU meeting is a technical conference focused on spoken language processing for under-resourced languages. This first workshop will focus on Asian languages, and the idea is to mainly (but not exclusively) target languages of the area (Vietnamese, Khmer, Lao, Chinese dialects, Thai, etc.). However, all contributions on other under-resourced languages of the world are warmly welcomed. The workshop aims at gathering researchers working on: * ASR, synthesis and speech translation for under-resourced languages * portability issues * fast resources acquisition (speech, text, lexicons, parallel corpora) * spoken language processing for languages with rich morphology * spoken language processing for languages without separators * spoken language processing for languages without writing system * Paper submission: January 15, 2008 * Notification of Paper Acceptance: February 20, 2008 * Author Registration Deadline: March 15, 2008 Grants will be given to students and young scientists, by ISCA to attend this workshop. To find out how to apply, see http://www.isca-speech.org/grants.html . Visit the workshop website at http://www.mica.edu.vn/sltu .

Title: Speakers of LCTL’s Sought for Creation of Online Activities
Body: The National Foreign Language Center at the University of Maryland is working on a project called LangNet which provides adult language learners with interactive online tools to reinforce their foreign language skills. We focus on the less commonly taught languages. We are currently looking for several individuals to work on the project. Specifically, we need educated native speakers (or equivalent) to create online activities in the languages listed below using the software we provide. In addition, we are looking for target language speakers to find authentic target language reading and audio passages, to record audio files, and to perform various editing tasks. The work is part-time and most of the work can be done from one's home computer. All candidates living in the US must have permission to work in the US. It is not necessary for those not in the US. If you are interested in working with us or if you know a qualified candidate who would be interested in working with us please contact me via email at jedwards@nflc.org. Languages: Bambara, Burmese, Cebuano, Chavacano, Dari, Hausa, Igbo, Iraqi Arabic, Moroccan Arabic, North Korean, Shona, Somali, Tausug, Tigrinya, Turkish, Urdu and Wolof.

Title: Request for Language Educators: Ten Burning Questions Project
Body: You know, I’ve always wondered… When is the best time to start learning a language? How long does it take to get to Novice-High? Is there an “achievement gap” in foreign languages? We want to know what you have been wondering about. CASLS (http://casls.uoregon.edu ) is trying to identify the ‘ten burning questions’ that practicing teachers have about language learning and teaching. Then we will put our team of researchers to work on the problem. We will try to answer each of the ten burning questions with a combination of literature review of what others have found and original research based on data we have collected from administering the STAMP test (http://casls.uoregon.edu/stamp2.php ). This year about 50,000 students received STAMP scores. We also collect information on their home languages, years of study, program model, and teacher background. Putting this information together, we can find out how different factors affect proficiency. In fact, there is so much information in our database that we need help deciding where to prioritize. That is why CASLS is asking your help in identifying the ten burning questions that teachers really want answered. We can also look at specific aspects of student performance, such as pronunciation, spelling, fluency, and discourse structure. Don’t worry too much about whether the question is easy or hard for us to answer, just tell us what really matters to you as a teacher. Submit your question to lforrest@uoregon.edu Linda B. Forrest, Ph.D. Research Director Center for Applied Second Language Studies 5290 University of Oregon Eugene, OR 97403 Tel: 541-346-1780 Fax: 541-346-6303

Title: Article: America the Unwelcoming
Body: From http://www.newsweek.com/id/70991/page/1 America the Unwelcoming: The United States is the only major country in the world to which travel has declined amid a tourist boom. Fareed Zakaria Nov 26, 2007 According to the Commerce Department, the United States is the only major country in the world to which travel has declined in the midst of a global tourism boom. And this is not about Arabs or Muslims. The number of Japanese visiting the United States declined from 5 million in 2000 to 3.6 million last year. The numbers have begun to increase, but by 2010 they're still projected to be 19 percent below 2000 levels. During this same span (2000–2010), global tourism is expected to grow by 44 percent. Business travel to the United States declined by 10 percent between 2004 and 2005 (the most recent data available), while similar travel to Europe increased by 8 percent. Discover America, a travel-industry-funded organization that tries to boost tourism, estimates that the 17 percent overall decline in tourism since 9/11 has cost America $94 billion in lost tourist spending, 200,000 jobs and $16 billion in tax revenues.
