Title: Article: Why Every Language Teacher Needs a (Second) Life
Body: From http://www.teachingvillage.org Learning to live in Second Life is a lot like learning a foreign language. There’s more than one way to go about it. You can simply create an account and log on, but that’s a bit like assuming the best way to learn Russian is to catch the first flight to Moscow without knowing a word of the language. You might become fluent, but you’re just as likely to have a traumatic experience, leave, and take a long time before being willing to try again. It’s tough to be a beginner. However, that’s the first reason that language teachers need a Second Life. Read the full article at http://www.teachingvillage.org/?p=89

Title: Editorial: Long Past Time to Learn the Language
Body: From http://joongangdaily.joins.com/article/view.asp?aid=2907303 Long past time to learn the language Many problems experienced by expatriates here and elsewhere can be traced to a lack of local language skills. by Tom Coyner July 13, 2009 We see news as it happens, but almost always with real-time commentary by “experts” who share their views, inevitably filtered through the lens of the English language. These opinion leaders rarely have the capacity to read a newspaper in the local language of the areas on which they profess authority. At best, they rely on local contacts who are bilingual in English for a disturbingly large percentage of their understanding. When Western opinion leaders use these contacts, they are basing their perspectives on the views and interpretations of a relatively narrow, elite segment of a foreign nation.

Title: Article: For Kids, Two Languages Can Be as Easy as One
Body: From http://news.yahoo.com/s/hsn/20090709/hl_hsn/forkidstwolanguagescanbeaseasyasone For Kids, Two Languages Can Be as Easy as One By Peter West July 9, 2009 European researchers are contesting the assumption that bilingual toddlers have more trouble learning language skills than children who know just one language. "While the remarkable performance of children acquiring one language is impressive, many children acquire more than one language simultaneously," said study author Agnes Melinda Kovacs, a research fellow at the International School for Advanced Studies, in Trieste, Italy. "As bilingual children presumably have to learn roughly twice as much as their monolingual peers [because they learn two languages instead of one], one would expect their language acquisition to be somewhat delayed. However, bilinguals pass the language development milestones at the same ages as their monolingual peers."

Title: Article: Universities Part of Effort to Revitalize Native Languages
Body: From http://diverseeducation.com/artman/publish/article_12701.shtml Universities Part of Effort to Revitalize Native Languages by Cynthia J. Drake July 8, 2009 Across the country, college students have an ever-increasing array of languages available for study, from Japanese to American Sign Language to Farsi. And in the past two decades, the United States’ own indigenous languages – Navajo, Ojibwe, Apache and hundreds of others – have taken up residence among their “foreign” language counterparts in some universities and tribal colleges. While nearly 80 universities and tribal colleges offer Native American studies majors, according to the College Board, just five colleges – Diné College, Idaho State University, University of Alaska Fairbanks, Simon Fraser University and University of British Columbia (the latter two in Canada) offer majors in Native American languages.
