Title: ILTA Grant Funding for Workshops and Meetings
Body: ILTA GRANT FUNDING FOR WORKSHOPS AND MEETINGS - Call for Proposals ILTA offers individual grants of up to US$ 3,000 for carrying out an approved workshop/meeting designed to help diffuse knowledge among a wider group in different parts of the world. The aim of a workshop/meeting should be to promote understanding, familiarity, and knowledge of language testing issues and practice among various groups of test users. It is expected that the award will be used as 'seed' money to organise such a workshop/meeting and, ideally, to establish a permanent local organisation that that will conduct further practical activities in language testing in the future, especially in places in need of language testing expertise. More than one award of US$3,000 may be made available in any one year, subject to sufficient funds being available. The procedures require that an award must be used by the end of the calendar year following application (i.e. proposals approved in 2008 must be carried out by the end of 2009) CRITERIA FOR SUBMISSION: Those eligible to apply are individual language testers, teachers and others representing various types of institutions such as universities, research institutes, schools and testing organisations. Applicants must be ILTA members or, in the case of joint applications, at least one applicant must be an ILTA member. (In cases of extreme financial hardship the membership costs for ILTA may be included as part of the proposal, but a justification is needed in such a case.) APPLICATION PROCESS: Those interested can apply by sending a 3- to 5-page proposal which should include the following: 1. brief background regarding the state of language testing in the specific context (country, region, school system) 2. rationale for the meeting including specific reasons and needs for holding the meeting 3. description of target participant groups and their prior training/knowledge in language teaching and in language testing/assessment 4. plan for the meeting including specific themes to be covered 5. tentative list of speakers/workshop leaders plus information about their expertise 6. background of the organiser(s) in the area of language testing (the CV of at least one main organiser should be included to support this point) 7. duration and location of the workshop/meeting 8. intended audience for the workshop/meeting 9. amount of money needed and a specific description of how it will be used (including budget breakdown) 10. intended results of the workshop/meeting, specifically the short- and long-range impact the event is expected to have 11. a specific explanation of how the workshop/meeting will contribute to the mission and to the establishment of a permanent, local organisation 12. full contact details of the organiser(s) The application must include a written statement of a commitment to provide ILTA within 3 months of the workshop/meeting, with an evaluative report of the event. This will be posted on the ILTA website and may be distributed to ILTA members. APPLICATION DEADLINE: Applications should be sent by e-mail to the ILTA President Jim Purpura (jp248@columbia.edu) by December 1st, 2008. CRITERIA FOR SELECTION: Selection will be based upon the fit between the application and the criteria which are outlined above. Priority will be given to contexts where language testing is not well-established so that the workshop/meeting can contribute significantly to increasing awareness, knowledge and effective practice in language testing/assessment.

Title: Article about Elementary Education: A Cure for Monolingualism
Body: From http://www.districtadministration.com/viewarticle.aspx?articleid=1724 A Cure for Monolingualism Elementary-level foreign language instruction helps create global citizens. By Myriam Met October 2008 Although globalization may be evolving as a major impetus in the United States at the moment, there are compelling reasons for foreign language study beyond the world marketplace and political arena. An increasingly diverse society within the United States requires all students to know how to communicate across the permeable linguistic and cultural borders of our communities. But even if students never have a cross-linguistic, cross-cultural encounter, there are cognitive and academic benefits to language study. Research studies have noted the cognitive correlations of early bilingualism; studies of early foreign language learning have shown that students may outperform comparison groups on measures of reading and math.
