Spanish language two-way immersion programs and Mandarin Chinese language programs for kindergarten and elementary students are already underway. Marcia Rosenbusch, director of the National K-12 Foreign Language Resource Center at Iowa State University, stresses the importance of improving the quality of foreign language teaching in America's schools. "After 9/11, the recognized lack of success in finding Americans who could communicate in other languages was seen as a crisis in national security," said Rosenbusch. Because of this crisis, the U.S. Government targeted foreign language teaching and learning initiatives as a national security priority and made more money available to support these initiatives. The grant money will fund a number of initiatives, among them, Spanish two-way immersion programs in two school districts with substantial minority student enrollments, as well as development of a Chinese curriculum and language program for kindergarten through fifth grade students that will be used in schools throughout the country. http://www.government-grant.biz/IA-government-grants.html 6C46A93B-971A-4EF7-BABF-E94B09D7EE74 Wed, 14 Mar 2007 20:36:20 -1000
