  • Language Placement and Beyond: Guidelines for the Design and Implementation of a Computerized Spanish Heritage Language Exam
    77 Heritage Language Journal, 9(1) https://doi.org/10.46538/hlj.9.1.5 Spring, 2012 Language Placement and Beyond: Guidelines for the Design and Implementation of a Computerized Spanish Heritage Language Exam Sara Beaudrie University of Arizona Cynthia Ducar Bowling Green State University Abstract This paper outlines the design, implementation, and analysis of a computerized Spanish heritage language (SHL) placement exam. The exam created by the authors exemplifies how to design a simple yet effective placement exam with limited resources. It is suggested that an SHL placement exam should be developed in-house due not only to the diversity of student populations but also to the unique structure and content of distinct SHL programs. The paper contends that SHL placement should be a fluid process that allows for the input of students, instructors and administrators. The paper concludes by reminding readers that an essential component of the SHL placement examination process is a strong and well thought out recruitment and promotion program that needs to both precede and follow placement. Background Hispanics continue to be the fastest growing segment of the U.S. population; according to 2010 census data, the Hispanic/Latino population in the United States reached 50.5 million, more than double the 1990 population (U.S. Census Bureau, 2011). By 2050, the U.S. Hispanic population is expected to more than double again, reaching 132.8 million people, or 30% of the total U.S. population. In the fall of 2008, 12% of college students and 20% of K-12 students were Hispanic (U.S.

US President Barack Obama, hosting leaders from the six- nation Gulf Cooperation Council for a rare summit at the Camp David presidential retreat, pledged that the US would coop- erate with them to address what he called Iran’s “destabilising activities in the region”. Qatar’s Emir H H Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani took part in the summit. “As we’ve declared in our joint statement, the United States is prepared to work jointly with GCC member states to deter and confront an external threat to any GCC state’s territorial integrity that is inconsistent with the UN charter,” Obama told reporters, with Gulf leaders standing by his side at the end of the talks. Obama vowed to back Gulf allies against any “external attack”. Obama promised a “concrete series of steps” from the one-day summit as he sought to allay Gulf Emir H H Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and leaders and heads of GCC states attending the summit with US President Barack Obama at Camp David in Maryland yesterday.

  • Supplément Spécial N° 10 / Juillet 2014
    /10 Supplément spécial n° 10 / Juillet 2014 La qualité, ou plutôt l’ineptie de la plupart des films français qui se sont succédé depuis le début de l’année serait-elle proportionnelle à la débâcle critique qui ne cesse de prendre de l’ampleur ? Constat un tantinet exagéré mais une certaine tendance au nivellement par le très très bas s’opère pourtant. Ce n’est pas nouveau que la parole critique concernant le cinéma soit si peu affutée sur le service public, notre consœur L’ouvreuse s’était essayée en 2009 à une immersion intensive d’une semaine dans l’enfer du PAF côté émissions de ciné. Depuis, pas grand chose n’a changé, certaines émissions ont disparu mais globalement une véritable réflexion critique se fait toujours aussi rare. Bien sûr, le net propose une alternative réjouissante car parmi les nombreux sites et blogs se contentant de régurgiter ce que les attachés de presse leur adressent, sont apparus des espaces d’expression tenus par des passionnés livrant leurs réflexions avec une certaine verve et acuité, mais généralement ces sites ne sont pas les mieux référencés ou les plus visités. La quasi absence de développement critique accessible au plus grand nombre est en soi l’illustration de l’échec du service public à formaliser des interstices où pourraient s’épanouir débat et/ou questionnements sur des œuvres présentes ou passées. Si possible quelque chose de plus consistant que la navrante émission « Le Cercle » présentée par Beigbeider où Philippe Rouyer a bien du mal à élever le niveau à lui tout seul..
