Title: Article: Virtual Reality World Used to Teach Language
Body: From http://tigerweekly.com/article/10-15-2008/9462 Virtual Reality world used to teach language By Ryan Burns October 15, 2008 A collaborative effort has produced a virtual reality city aimed at teaching foreign languages. The city, named Realtown, is programmed with stores, schools, pharmacies and pretty much anything else students would expect to find in a generic town. Virtual reality is used to immerse the student in a situation conducive to learning. Students have video-game characters in Realtown, and can optionally make the experience feel more real with background noise such as traffic, sirens, children playing and other common sounds. So far, Realtown has been used to teach English as a second language to engineering students in Mexico, and “the potential for the growth of Realtown is substantial,” researchers say.

Title: Article: Football Announcer Cuyler Frank to Call LSU Plays in Navajo
Body: From http://www.indiancountrytoday.com/living/30808399.html Play by play, Navajo style Football announcer Cuyler Frank to call LSU plays By Maria Scandale, Today correspondent October 10, 2008 ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – When The New York Times, USA Today, ESPN and Fox Sports Network were all calling him, “it was the coolest time,” recalls history-making football announcer Cuyler Frank, Diné, “but hectic.” In high school, Frank had been on his way to making his name in another sport – bull riding. But a car accident one night stole not only championship dreams, but his will to live. Now his voice is heard across the Navajo nation, broadcasting New Mexico State University Aggies football games in Navajo. On Nov. 15, a Southeastern Conference game will be aired in Navajo for the first time when Frank sits in the booth of the Louisiana State University Tigers. The groundbreaking sound of the collegiate play-by-play reaching the reservation in the Native language captivated the attention of the mass media in 2005. “It was Sept. 23, 2005” – Frank lists the date by heart – when New Mexico State became the first university to broadcast a game in Navajo.
