The most popular way to teach these young children another language is called immersion. Chidren in immersion programs hear only the new language in the classroom. The chidren play games, sing songs and talk to one another in the new language. Some experts say immersion programs are the most effective way for young childen to learn a language. But there can be a problem when children in the United States begin to learn another language at such an early age. Not many elementary schools continue the effort as the children get older. Only seven of the fifty states require schools to teach a foreign language to students between the ages of six and twelve. Language experts say it is easier for younger children to learn a language. Still American schools generally do not begin to teach foreign languages until

American schools face difficult choices about the cost of educational programs. The federal government has increased support for foreign language study in its education law called No Child Left Behind. At the college level, the Modern Language Association says more students than ever are studying foreign languages. The group recently announced its findings for the period from nineteen-ninety-eight until two-thousand-two. The number of students who studied foreign languages in American colleges and universities increased by seventeen percent. Spanish is the most widely taught language in American colleges and universities. Other popular languages include French, German, Japanese, Chinese and Italian. The Modern Language Association says more languages are being studied now than in the past. It says the largest growth since nineteen-ninety-eight has been in the study of American Sign Language, Arabic and biblical Hebrew. The association says about nine percent of college students in the United States study foreign languages. That is the highest level since nineteen-seventy-two. (Source: Steinbach, N.

PAS UFVM1 2009 etapa 1 (questões 23 a 29) Instructions: Read the text below and answer questions 23 to 27 Strangers give Bolivian boy walk of life By Azadeh Ansari, CNN May 10, 2010 - Updated 1445 GMT (2245 HKT) 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
4 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.
