Global�

LANGUAGES By Megan Braden-Perry

As the world becomes more interconnected, New Orleans schools prepare students for a global marketplace through foreign languages.

tandardized test preparation and career training sometimes overshadow foreign language education in Louisiana, although it has been proved that proficiency in speaking a second language increases a student’s overall academic achievement — including higher math and verbal standardized test scores — and contributes to cultural awareness, a marketable asset in any career. According to a study by the National Education Association (NEA) in 2010, global competence stems from proficiency in a foreign language. Not only has the United States’ population become increasingly diverse, but so have its trade partners. The U.S. also is involved in finding solutions to problems that plague communities in other countries, including diseases, disasters and environmental concerns, all requiring a grasp of another culture and its language. Acquiring more than fleeting familiarity in a foreign language begins with the instructor. Ideal foreign language teachers are native speakers who use technology and media, collaborate with other native speakers and incorporate language into core subjects, according to a study by the Center for Applied Linguistics (CAL), a nonprofit organization established in 1959 to improve Lusher Charter School students global communication. The get real with their study, Foreign Language Spanish lessons. Teaching in U.S. Schools: Results of a National Survey (Nancy C. Rhodes and Ingrid

Pufahl, November 2010), is a comprehensive nationwide assessment of foreign language programs in kindergarten through 12th grade (researchers collected statistical data in 1987, 1997 and 2008). The study shows trends and changes over the past 20 years and makes recommendations for improvement. French-immersion school Ecole Bilingue de la Nouvelle-Orleans hires only native French-speaking teachers. It also gets materials directly from France and uses Skype in the classroom to communicate with French-speaking students in France. At Lusher Charter School, teachers use a variety of tools and methods to make sure students integrate foreign languages into a range of daily tasks. “Assessment is very prismatic; it can be a test, reciting a poem or an arts-integrated project,” says French teacher Sami Amara. “It depends on the proficiency of the student, down from a simple grammar worksheet to an oral or written presentation. We also test on email and other things that you need

In 1992, we decided that boys and girls deserve the same breadth and quality of education. Since then we’ve learned how much coeducation enhances social maturity and our graduates’ success. Families say we’re real-world. We call it being true to ourselves—a lesson De La Salle students live out every day.

GAMBIT’S ANNUAL GUIDE TO SCHOOLS 2012 | 39

Now, more than ever, Jefferson teachers believe that all children need and deserve a high-quality education. But we can’t do it alone. Let’s work together to make sure our public schools provide a great learning environment that will prepare every student to succeed in the classroom and beyond. The most powerful path to reform is true collaboration among teachers, administrators, parents and policymakers. STAND WITH US as partners in our fight for: • the same high level of education services for ALL students; • small class sizes and neighborhood schools; • a rich curriculum that includes art and music; and • real-world education beyond teaching to the test. Find out more about our Vision for Change and sign our pledge to Stand with Jefferson Teachers.
