Title: Article: Writing the Web’s Future in Numerous Languages
Body: From http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/31/technology/internet/31hindi.html Writing the Web’s Future in Numerous Languages By DANIEL SORID December 30, 2008 The next chapter of the World Wide Web will not be written in English alone. Asia already has twice as many Internet users as North America, and by 2012 it will have three times as many. Already, more than half of the search queries on Google come from outside the United States. Only there is a shortage of non-English content and applications. So, American technology giants are spending hundreds of millions of dollars each year to build and develop foreign-language Web sites and services. Nowhere are the obstacles, or the potential rewards, more apparent than in India, whose online population Jupiter says is poised to become the third-largest in the world after China and the United States by 2012.

Title: When Students Run the Classroom: Global Language Network
Body: From http://nclrc.org/about_teaching/topics/feature.html When Students Run the Classroom: Global Language Network By Tom Braslavsky To become a language teacher at Andrew Brown’s Global Language Network, there are three requirements: to be a native speaker, to be willing to volunteer and to commit to a weekly schedule. The GLN is now a 501(c) 3 not-for-profit organization with chapters at GW and three other universities. It has the mission, according to its website, of making “language and culture education free and fun for everyone, everywhere.” The chapters run two different types of language classes: Language Immersion classes, which are more comprehensive and meet for two to three hours each week; and Survival Skills classes, which teach practical skills and meet for one hour per week, but do not require a commitment. They are all free. Since its inception, Brown said, the GLN has trained just under 300 volunteer teachers. This year, the organization teamed up with the World Bank and a couple of volunteer video producers to put together a training video which is now available in DVD format.
