Currently, less</div><div>than ten percent of students enrolled in foreign language courses in the US</div><div>study languages such as Arabic, Farsi, Pashto, Chinese, Japanese, Russian,</div><div>Hindi, Korean, Indonesian, Tagalog, Thai, Turkish, Vietnamese, Swahili,</div><div>Yoruba, and other languages critically important to US national interests.</div><div>These languages are typologically different from English and are often</div><div>written in non-Roman scripts requiring extended seat time to attain a</div><div>working proficiency. With instruction often not offered at all, offered on</div><div>an irregular basis, or available only at the elementary levels, technology</div><div>presents a wide range of opportunities to develop and deliver instructional</div><div>materials and methodologies based on sound empirical research.</div><div><br></div><div>For more information, visit:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://llt.msu.edu/papers/index.html">http://llt.msu.edu/papers/index.html</a></div><div><br></div>--------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>End of Arabic-L: 01 Jun 2011</body></html>
