Title: Article: Babies Who Hear Foreign Speech Pick Up Languages Faster
Body: From http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1944528/'Babies-who-hear-foreign-speech-pick-up-languages-faster'.html 'Babies who hear foreign speech pick up languages faster' By Richard Gray May 10, 2008 Psychologists at Bristol University found that the developing brain undergoes a period of "programming" in infancy which sets up for life its ability to recognise key sounds in whatever will become its native language. This process helps the brain make sense of speech by filtering out sounds not used in the native language, but also makes it harder to recognise unfamiliar sounds from foreign languages. Crucially, babies exposed to multiple languages during their first few months retain the ability to recognise sounds from all the languages they hear.

Title: Article: International Studies in Herricks School District, New York
Body: From http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/16/education/16global.html?pagewanted=1&_r=2&ref=education District Puts All the World in Classrooms By WINNIE HU May 16, 2008 For nearly a decade, the lesson that the world is interconnected — call it Globalization 101 — has been bandied about as much in education as in economics, spurring a cottage industry of internationally themed schools, feel-good cultural exchanges, model United Nations clubs and heritage festivals. But the high-performing Herricks school district here in Nassau County, whose student body is more than half Asian, is taking globalization to the graduate level, integrating international studies into every aspect of its curriculum. A partnership with the Foreign Policy Association has transformed a high-school basement into a place where students produce research papers on North Korea’s nuclear energy program or the Taliban’s role in the opium trade. English teachers have culled reading lists of what they call “dead white men” (think Hawthorne and Hemingway) to make space for Jhumpa Lahiri, Chang-rae Lee and Khaled Hosseini. Gifted fifth graders learn comparative economics by charting the multinational production of a pencil and representing countries in a mock G8 summit. Read the entire article at http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/16/education/16global.html?pagewanted=1&_r=2&ref=education .
