Foreign Language Learning in the
United States
lt seems more and more Americans want
1
2 schools to teach foreign languages to childen
3 younger than five years old. The most popular
4 way to teach these young children another
5 language is called immersion.
Chidren in immersion programs hear only the
6
7 new language in the classroom. The chidren
8 play games, sing songs and talk to one another
9 in the new language. Some experts say
10 immersion programs are the most effective
11 way for young childen to learn a language.
But there can be a problem when children in
12
13 the United States begin to learn another
14 language at such an early age. Not many
15 elementary schools continue the effort as the
16 children get older.
Only seven of the fifty states require schools
17
18 to teach a foreign language to students between
19 the ages of six and twelve. Language experts
20 say it is easier for younger children to learn a
21 language. Still American schools generally do
22 not begin to teach foreign languages until
133
2
23 secondary school. By then, students are about
24 thirteen years old.
American schools face difficult choices about
25
26 the cost of educational programs. The federal
27 government has increased support for foreign
28 language study in its education law called No
29 Child Left Behind.
At the college level, the Modern Language
30
31 Association says more students than ever are
32 studying foreign languages. The group recently
33 announced its findings for the period from
34 nineteen-ninety-eight until two-thousand-two.
35 The number of students who studied foreign
36 languages in American colleges and universities
37 increased by seventeen percent.
Spanish is the most widely taught language in
38
39 American colleges and universities. Other
40 popular languages include French, German,
41 Japanese, Chinese and Italian. The Modern
42 Language Association says more languages are
43 being studied now than in the past. It says the
44 largest growth since nineteen-ninety-eight has
45 been in the study of American Sign Language,
46 Arabic and biblical Hebrew.
The association says about nine percent of
47
48 college students in the United States study
49 foreign languages. That is the highest level since
50 nineteen-seventy-two.

Atlanta, Georgia (CNN) – Life's journeys begin
with a single step but for Freddy Turihuano he
had to travel thousands of miles just to make his
3
first step. From the Bolivian countryside of Sucre
to Atlanta, Georgia, the plight of the small town
boy touched the hearts of complete strangers
who helped transform his life. Freddy suffers
from a genetic condition characterized by
abnormal development of cartilage and bone
called multiple epiphyseal dysplasia (MED). No
stranger to pain, for most of his childhood life,
Freddy has struggled to stand and could not
walk. He was unable to help with household
chores, play with other children, and to get to
school he needed his father to carry him. "ln the
rural town where I live, there are no doctors
who could operate on me,” Freddy said. "Then
one day, by the grace of God, I encountered a
pastor at a local church and he said he might be
able to help me." The missing link came in 2007
when a group of parishioners from Dunwoody
United Methodist Church in Atlanta, Georgia
heard about Freddy's story while on a mission
trip in Bolivia. One of the parishioners got the
x-rays to Atlanta-based orthopedic surgeon Dr.
Marvin Royster, who agreed to do the surgery
for free – but getting Freddy to the U.S. would
be the next obstacle. Jaqueline Garofalo, a
medical assistant with Royster, said:
"The parishioners found his x-rays and brought
them back to the States looking for a surgeon
that would be able to take care of him." Once Dr.
Royster told me he would do the surgery, I made
it my mission to try to get him here." With the
help of the local Atlanta community Garofalo
raised $10,000 via Operation Harvest so Freddy,
then 12, could have his first orthopedic corrective
surgery, which enabled him to stand and walk for
the first time. But as Freddy continued to grow
into his teen years, doctors realized that his
deformity was getting worse and a second surgery
would be necessary as his legs were not growing
properly. So in April, Freddy accompanied by his
Bolivian pediatrician, left his parents and two
sisters behind and returned to Atlanta for the
second operation.”Freddy is a very brave and
strong person," said Royster at Piedmont Hospital
in Atlanta, Georgia. "It is truly nothing short of a
miracle to be able to bring him back," said
Royster. Doctors knew that finishing the job of
straightening Freddy's legs would be a
complicated task but they were up for the
chaIIenge. "The voice came basically to my head
l think it was God speaking to me telling me
actually I'm not asking you to do anything you
don't normally know how to do,” said Dr. Royster.
Doctors cut both of Freddy's femurs to change
the alignment and straighten his legs, without
affecting vital tissues in his leg - an approach
similar to total knee surgery. The surgery added
about 4 to 6 inches to the length of his legs
putting him just under 5 feet tall. With the fivehour surgery behind him, Freddy is now
recovering with a host family. Royster said he will
be able to walk normally and lead a normal life
when he returns home. Pastor Tito Santiago,
Freddy's host father, his wife Yami and their four
kids welcomed Freddy into their home in
Cumming, Georgia and he will stay there for the
next three months. Last week Freddy celebrated
his 15th birthday. His birthday wish: to be a
soccer player or a doctor. "Right now, it would be
difficult for me to play sports,” said Freddy. "I am
very grateful for what everyone has done to help
me, I want to focus on my studies and hope to
become a doctor one day, so I can help others,”
he added.

The traditional way to meet others is quickly being
replaced by Internet dating, meeting in chatrooms,
and contacting prospective lovers using singles
search sites.
Not so long ago, those seeking someone special
hoped for one of those experiences where they
would look across a crowded room, see a stranger,
and fall in love at first sight. Now, they review singles
site profiles and use e-mail to contact those who best
match the kind of person for whom they are looking.
The lnternet has literally revolutionized how people
meet and it is fast becoming the only way to go. ln
this fast paced world we live in, meeting others via
virtual space has become the way.
