| | At the national level, an 11-member task force representing a variety of languages, levels of instruction, program models, and geographic regions undertook the task of defining content standards--what students should know and be able to do--in foreign language education. | | | Development of national and state standards has been the result of a convergence of events in the education reform movement in the United States and the work of a great many people in the field of foreign language education and other disciplines. | | | National Council of State Supervisors of Foreign Languages (NCSSFL) offers an extensive set of links to state departments of education, state foreign language associations, and state foreign language standards. |

| | Introduction of National Security Language Act |
| | `(1) CRITICAL FOREIGN LANGUAGE- The term `critical foreign language' includes the languages of Arabic, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Pashto, Persian-Farsi, Serbian-Croatian, Russian, Portuguese, and any other language identified by the Secretary of Education, in consultation with the Defense Language Institute, the Foreign Service Institute, and the National Security Education Program, as a critical foreign language need. | | | The Secretary of Education shall establish a foreign language education marketing campaign to encourage students at secondary schools and institutions of higher learning to study foreign languages, particularly languages that are less commonly taught and critical to the national security of the United States. | | | Just as the National Defense Education Act of 1958 created a generation of scientists, engineers, and Russian linguists to confront the enemy of that time, the National Security Language Act will give us a generation of Americans able to confront the new threats we face today. |

| | Killer language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | A school with the minority language as the main medium of teaching does not exist, or the parents do not have enough research-based knowledge about what kind of education best supports their children's bilingual development. | | | Being a killer language is not a characteristic of a language per se, it refers to the way one language functions in relation to other languages. | | | Besides, it is not languages that kill each other, it is the power relations between the speakers of the languages that are the decisive factors behind the unequal relations between the languages, which then cause people from dominated groups to learn other languages subtractively, at the cost of their own. |

| | The latter is especially important for assembler programmers as Donald Knuth is one of few computer scientists who was able to see thru "object-oriented programming" smog and defend the value of the assembler language both for computer science education and for real and complex programming projects. | | | I am convinced that assembler is a fundamental part of a programmer education and that a person that learned assembler has a better chance to became a good programmer that a person that spend the same amount of time on learning some fancy languages and/or programming methodologies like object-oriented programming ;-). | | | Assembler probably should not be the first language, the first language should be something simple like old good Basic or may be JavaScript (the ability to generate HTML is pretty exiting for an introductory programming course), but it probably should be the second language. |
