Title: Opinion Piece: Maryland is Wise to Nurture Heritage Speakers
Body: From http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/opinion/oped/bal-op.language23jun23,0,3524308.story Wise to nurture 'heritage speakers' By Catherine Ingold June 23, 2008 Maryland has adopted a promising new strategy to deal with the U.S. shortage of skilled foreign language speakers, one that offers a model for other states. A new state law seeks to make better use of an under-valued language asset: immigrants and their descendants. Gov. Martin O'Malley recently signed into law a bill creating the Task Force on the Preservation of Heritage Language Skills. It charges the task force with making an inventory of existing heritage resources and recommending steps to use them better.

Title: Article: States Credit Foreign Language Study Outside of School
Body: From http://www.stateline.org States credit foreign language study By Pauline Vu June 24, 2008 A handful of states — including California, Michigan, New Jersey, New York and Virginia — offer foreign language or general credit for study at a heritage school. The trend reflects a growing movement to award credit for foreign language proficiency, according to Debbie Robinson, world languages consultant for Ohio’s department of education and president of the National Council of State Supervisors for Languages. North Carolina is among some states that allow districts to set their own policies allowing credit for foreign language proficiency. In Connecticut, students are required to present a certificate of attendance from a nonprofit language school and pass a standardized test approved by the education commissioner to earn credits. Read the entire article at http://www.stateline.org/live/details/story?contentId=320478 . A summary of the recent legislation in Connecticut is available at http://www.senatedems.ct.gov/pr/defronzo-080606.html .

Title: Article: Switching Languages Can Also Switch Personality
Body: From http://in.reuters.com/article/lifestyleMolt/idINSP4652020080624 Switching languages can also switch personality: study June 24, 2008 People who are bicultural and speak two languages may unconsciously change their personality when they switch languages, according to a U.S. study. Researchers David Luna from Baruch College and Torsten Ringberg and Laura A. Peracchio from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee studied groups of Hispanic women, all of whom were bilingual, but with varying degrees of cultural identification. They found significant changes in self perception or "frame-shifting" in bicultural participants -- women who participate in both Latino and Anglo culture.

Title: Article: English Learners Do Better in Mixed Schools
Body: From http://www.pe.com/localnews/inland/stories/PE_News_Local_W_ell27.3ec68b6.html Pew study: English learners do better in mixed schools By SHIRIN PARSAVAND June 26, 2008 Low achievement by students learning English as a second language is not due just to their background but also is influenced by the types of schools they attend, a study released Thursday said. The study from the Pew Hispanic Center said English learners performed better on state math tests in schools where they weren't isolated. Most English learners attend schools with relatively large numbers of other English learners and minority students. These schools tend to be large, have high student-teacher ratios and high numbers of students receiving free- and reduced-price lunches, a measure of poverty, according to the study. All these factors are linked to lower student performance. In the schools where English learners are concentrated, black and white students also have lower test scores than students in these groups in other schools, the study said.
