On another front, Arabic, the fastest growing spoken language of study at U.S. colleges and universities, is gaining traction in K–12 education as well, due in part to grants available from the U.S. State Department as part of the president’s National Security Language Initiative (NSLI). Both national security and economic factors are putting pressure on American educators to find ways to introduce students to these vital and difficult languages earlier and more intensively. Still, the barriers are many: The languages are difficult to learn, certified teachers are scarce, and time allotted for any language curriculum is shrinking in the face of high-stakes reading and math testing.
