The National Foreign Language Center at the University of Maryland is happy
to announce the 2008 STARTALK Programs.  Launched in 2007, STARTALK is part
of the president's National Security Language Initiative, jointly funded by
the Director of National Intelligence and the Department of Defense to
promote the teaching of less commonly taught critical languages.
 Participating institutions and organizations offer intensive language
programs for middle school and high school students and professional
development programs for teachers. This summer there will be a total of 81
programs in 32 states and the District of Columbia offered in Arabic,
Chinese, Hindi, Persian and Urdu.  The 2008 programs can be found at the
following web site: http://www.startalk.umd.edu/program-info/2008/.  Please
