Title: Article: Elementary Foreign-Language Instruction on Descent
Body: From http://www.edweek.org/ew/articles/2009/03/04/23language.h28.html?tmp=1755786313 Elementary Foreign-Language Instruction on Descent Cutbacks Expected to Continue in Recession By Mary Ann Zehr March 2, 2009 The United States lost ground over the past decade in the proportion of elementary schools that offer foreign-language lessons, following a decade during which those schools had increasingly launched such programs. And the decline is likely to continue as a number of districts consider cutting back their foreign-language programs at all levels because of the recession. Robert Slater, the director of the National Security Education Program, which is housed in the U.S. Department of Defense, said it was troubling that elementary school foreign-language offerings are slipping nationwide, "because children learn second and third languages easier at that level." "That's what the rest of the world does," he noted, implying that the United States will fall even further behind other nations in producing bilingual people if primary schools aren’t engaged in the task.

Title: Article: Online Classes Help Preserve the Navajo Language
Body: From http://www.edutopia.org/technology-education-navajo-language-preservation Signing up for Navajo isn't like enrolling in a French class. The tribe has scattered around the country to the point where nearly half its population now lives off the Navajo Nation reservation, which covers parts of Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah. As the pool of potential teachers dwindles with each generation, the problem facing Witherspoon and other would-be Navajo-language students comes down to simple numbers: too few speakers spread out over too many miles. Enter the American Academy, an online high school that offers classes in both Navajo language and Navajo government, among other subjects. For the first time, students around the country don't need to locate a nearby teacher or wait for sufficient interest to build up at their school. On the contrary, a student can be the only person for a thousand miles interested in learning Navajo. All it takes is Internet access and a weakness for agglutinative languages. Read the entire article at http://www.edutopia.org/technology-education-navajo-language-preservation . Visit the American Academy’s website at http://www.theamericanacademy.com/front_page .
