James Temple , Chronicle Columnist http://www.sfgate.com The popularity of e-readers is soaring, but good luck finding that hot new title at your local library. Most large publishers refuse to sell critical portions of their digital catalogs for library lending, and those that do are imposing stiff fees and onerous rules. It's one more point of contention over the behavior of these companies, as the Justice Department reportedly threatens to file a lawsuit accusing them of collusion in the consumer e-book market. The worry in this case is that as more and more reading occurs on digital devices, these sorts of restrictions could chip away at the value of libraries - and the societal good they promote in providing equal access to information. "If we're not allowed to have access to or even allowed the ability to purchase that broad array of titles, what does that mean for the longevity of the library?" asked Trent Garcia, electronic resou...

You can then export this file into a text file and ...

We teach people - Dictionaries ECTACO March 22, 2012 | Eleanor Yang Su , California Watch http://californiawatch.org At Chula Vista Learning Community Charter School, students are taught lessons every week in a combination of Spanish, English and Mandarin. The public school, which has more than 400 students on its wait list, is hoping to eventually add a fourth language, the principal says, to better prepare pupils for the global economy. “I think as we become more and more globally aware, we’re realizing that kids need to be prepared to be competitive in world markets,” said Principal Jorge Ramirez. “Kids need to be multilingual and multiliterate.” From Chula Vista to Laguna Niguel and Sacramento, public schools are creating dual-language immersion programs at a fast pace. The California Department of Education estimates there are 318 bilingual immersion programs in the state, up from 201 in 2006. “We have more research now that shows students who develop t...

We teach people - Dictionaries ECTACO by C. Newton Weaver Jr. www.delmarvanow.com Imagine coming to America to live and work, knowing little about the language or how laws and regulations are made, much less the importance of certain events in its cultural history -- formidable roadblocks until one achieves skill in both written and spoken English.

By May Lundy www.deseretnews.com "Hello, hello, hello, how are you?” are words to the first song I learned in English. The teacher sang along while we covered our hands in glue from pasting paper drawings on our workbooks. I was 3 years old and attending a bilingual kindergarten in Veracruz, Mexico. I was blessed to have parents who were quite involved in my education, especially in learning a second language at a very young age. They always looked for schools that not only had an hour of English immersion, but the entire day if possible. As I enrolled in elementary school, it took some experimenting to find the right institution. At first I attended schools that only imparted two hours of English. I remember how much I liked to learn new vocabulary and read from colorful storybooks. I always took my new discoveries very seriously, so much that I began teaching my grandmother English lessons out of my first-grade books. By the time I was in third grade, we were l...

Britain's future economic and political wellbeing is being hamstrung by our reluctance to learn foreign languages. autor Will Hutton Will Hutton is principal of Hertford College, Oxford www.guardian.co.uk It is a baleful sign of our times that one of Newt Gingrich's most effective attacks on Mitt Romney is that he is so un-American he dares to speak French. Ever since the Iraq war, France and the French are synonymous with European lack of martial spirit and solidarity with the US, but more is at work than that. Command of a foreign language shows the wrong priorities, according to this line: it shows a willingness to work hard at understanding another culture, its language and mores. Real Americans don't do that. The British are infected by the same culture, but we don't have the excuse of being the globe's dominant power and of occupying a continent. We live on a large island in the North Sea whose economic power is rapidly waning; any conce...

By YUDHIJIT BHATTACHARJEE Published: March 18, 2012 NY Times SPEAKING two languages rather than just one has obvious practical benefits in an increasingly globalized world. But in recent years, scientists have begun to show that the advantages of bilingualism are even more fundamental than being able to converse with a wider range of people. Being bilingual, it turns out, makes you smarter. It can have a profound effect on your brain, improving cognitive skills not related to language and even shielding against dementia in old age. This view of bilingualism is remarkably different from the understanding of bilingualism through much of the 20th century. Researchers, educators and policy makers long considered a second language to be an interference, cognitively speaking, that hindered a child's academic and intellectual development. They were not wrong about the interference: there is ample evidence that in a bilingual's brain both language systems are activ...

written by Amy Hodges-Rice http://www.futurity.org RICE (US) — Immigrants who are proficient in both English and their native language are physically and mentally healthier than unilingual immigrants, new research shows. “Our research suggests that English proficiency gained at the expense of native-language fluency may not be beneficial for overall health status,” says Ariela Schachter, an alumna of Rice University who is now a graduate student at Stanford University. “It’s very important for the immigrants to hold on to their native language in addition to learning English.” Schachter is a co-author with Rice sociology professors Bridget Gorman and Rachel Tolbert Kimbro.on a paper published in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior. The study examined associations between English and native-language proficiency and usage and self-rated health for more than 4,649 U.S. immigrants from China, the Philippines, Vietnam, Mexico, Cuba, and Puerto Rico.

written by Cliff Kuang  , http://www.fastcodesign.com A surprising chart suggests that Americans see second languages as a cultural luxury rather than a competitive advantage. You know and I know that other countries make fun of the fact that most Americans only rarely speak another language. But behind that truism, there’s plenty of subtle forces that influence the attitude that Americans have towards learning another language. And attitude, I’d argue, is everything. You can discern a few peaks into that attitude in this interactive chart by Pimsleur Approach , a rapid language-learning course. Pimsleur simply took its own data on the languages that people are interested in learning, and broke it down by state. Almost without exception, people want to learn Spanish , trailed almost always by French : There are some exceptions to that rule: Wisconsin, which has a large population of people descended from German immigrants, for example. And New Jersey, which has ...
