Title: Article: Learn a Language, Get a Raise
Body: From http://abcnews.go.com/Business/SmallBiz/story?id=4349200&page=1 Learn a Language, Get a Raise Some Foreign Language Skills Are Worth More Than Others in the Workplace Calculating the exact value of learning a second language has vexed economists. For example, it is difficult to separate the wage increases associated with learning a foreign language from other, closely co-related variables like education and motivation. Still, some economists have tried. In 2005, Albert Saiz, an economist at the University of Pennsylvania, and Elena Zoido, an economist at the consulting group LECG, published a study comparing wage premiums for American college graduates who spoke Spanish, French, German, Italian, Russian and Chinese as a second language. In their findings, the law of supply and demand prevailed. With its 1.7% wage premium, Spanish was the least valuable, followed by French (2.7%). Knowledge of German, Italian, Russian and Chinese was slightly more valuable, translating into an average 4% income boost.

Title: News Article: Chinese Teacher’s Experience in Los Angeles
Body: From http://www.latimes.com/news/education/la-me-teacher1mar01,1,6249106.story?page=1&ctrack=1&cset=true In L.A., his own wall of China Zhao Yan Feng left home to teach Mandarin at Dorsey High. He learns that not all of his students see language as a gift. By David Pierson, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer March 1, 2008 It had been three weeks since Zhao Yan Feng (pronounced Jow), 27, left his hometown in northern China to join a program that sent dozens of Chinese teachers to school districts across the United States. His two-year assignment: teach Mandarin at Dorsey High in South Los Angeles, where test scores are well below the state and national averages, two-thirds of the students live near the poverty line and most have had scant exposure to Chinese culture. "Why do I do this?" he said to the students, who were silent for the first time. "Because I want to be your friend." Two girls in the back of the classroom giggled at the remark. Others stared at their desks. The bell rang, and the teenagers charged out of the room -- except for a boy who was still asleep. Zhao tapped him on the shoulder and told him to leave.

Title: Autonomous Language Learning Project
Body: From http://allproject.info/index.php?id=35&L=0 The Autonomous Language Learning (ALL) project, funded by the European Union, is building Blended Learning language courses in four European languages (Turkish, Romanian, Bulgarian and Lithuanian). Blended Learning is a relatively new learning methodology. It is a learning/teaching system that takes the best aspects of traditional classroom teaching and the advantages of eLearning (also called online or distance learning) to create courses that are accessible and motivating for today's adult students. These courses are designed for students who have had an initial introduction in one of the languages and who wish to progress from a basic survival level to a higher competency (A2 of the Common European Framework) The project results are for Language schools and Colleges. You can stay up-to-date with the project by subscribing to the project newsletter at http://allproject.info/index.php?id=7&L=0 . More information about the project is available at http://allproject.info/index.php?id=30&L=0 .

Title: Spanish-Speaking Students Must Take School Tests in English
Body: From http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/chi-no-image-04mar04,1,377129.story Spanish-speaking students must take school tests in English By Carlos Sadovi March 4, 2008 Spanish-speaking public school students will have to take standardized tests in English beginning Tuesday, after the state rebuffed a last-ditch effort by Chicago Public Schools to delay the testing. Chicago Public Schools chief Arne Duncan blasted the state Monday for moving forward with the Illinois State Achievement Test, even for students who are more fluent in Spanish. State officials have said they have no choice, since federal education officials said that an alternative, the IMAGE test, is not adequate. Duncan said that as a result of the state's refusal to delay the test, the district will not use the results of the ISAT exams as a condition for students to advance to the next grade. Students instead will be evaluated on their attendance, course work and test grades during the school year.

Title: Article: More Teachers Are Needed to Help Those Learning English
Body: From http://www.theolympian.com/120/story/375279.html More teachers are needed to help those learning English Demand in schools’ increases along with immigrant populations Diane Huber March 3, 3008 A steady influx of immigrants has fueled the need for teachers with English-language-learner training, state and local districts say. The demand is not as serious as in subjects such as math and science, but teachers of all subjects can benefit from learning to relate material to English-language learners, educators say. “It’s always better for schools to have ESL-trained teachers, even if they’re not teaching ESL directly,” said Howard De Leeuw, program administrator for migrant and bilingual education for the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction. “They would have more skills and strategies ... to draw on when they have diverse learners in the classroom.” Read the entire article at http://www.theolympian.com/120/story/375279.html .
