Multilingual Multiculturalism
Sonoma Valley Sun
A customary education in Europe is by nature multilingual and multi-literate. Here in America, we teach language almost as an afterthought in the higher grades in elementary school.

Carlos Fosca's curator insight, June 13, 2014 7:46 AM

la necesidad de hablar diversos idiomas para poder vivir en una sociedad global ha generado el desarrollo de traductores en tiempo real que prácticamente eliminan, sino reducen, la necesidad de ir a una academia o instituto a aprenderlos. El traductor de Skype es un ejemplo claro de ello.

Maria la del Varrio's curator insight, December 5, 2014 11:46 AM

Well pivo sounds funny, and Cervesa sound classy. I wonder how you say "Cwrw". Maybe: " See-warwar". It's funny.
Alyssa Dorr's curator insight, December 17, 2014 7:13 PM

This map tells us all the different ways that people say the word "beer" in Europe. All the light brown regions call it beer or bier. The dark brown calls it ale and the yellow regions call it pivo. Black regions have other untitled names for beer and the oranges regions refer to beer as cerveza. According to the map, a majority of Europe uses the words pivo and beer/bier. Only a few countries use the world cervaza, which is interesting to me because this word was relatively familiar to me.
Jason Schneider's curator insight, February 12, 2015 6:32 PM

When it comes to languages, it's obvious that most of the English language from the United States spreads overseas to Europe. However, the accents of simple English comes from living in Europe so they put a little spin on the english language. Also, there are some languages that can have similar word pronunciations as English such as the french language and the german language. As you can see, most of those languages are on the western side of Europe but there is a big chunk of Spain that speaks the spanish language. Since Spain is as big as it is and it is furthest to the west than any other European country, that makes the United States have the spanish language as their most popular foreign language.

SpecialEd ACLUlawsuit DOJbrief071414

From www.documentcloud.org - August 19, 2014 7:12 PM
Dennis Swender's insight:

"California State Judge Affirms State's Obligation to Underserved English Learner (EL) Students, after ACLU is Aided in Case by U.S. Department of Justice
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Southern California found an ally [with the U.S. Department of Justice's lawsuit ]charging that the state abdicated its obligation to ensure all students classified as English learners get extra instructional services to become fluent in English. They won the lawsuit, which was filed in April 2013 and set for a one-day trial [in the summer of 2014] in Los Angeles County Superior Court. The state's Department of Education and Board of Education 'have the duty, the data and the tools' to meet their responsibility under federal law, Jocelyn Samuels, Acting Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights at the U.S. Department of Justice, wrote in a [accompanying] brief for the case this summer."
