District to Recognize Multilingual Students
Ventura County Star (CA)
The ability to speak multiple languages often helps to distinguish a job applicant over other candidates. To highlight the importance of language skills in a competitive work force, a new program at California's Ventura Unified School District will recognize high school students who have mastered two or more languages. Seniors will receive a "multilingual recognition" seal on their diplomas next June if they have demonstrated they are show proficiency in English and another language. Educators said the multilingual seal not only will recognize English speakers who have mastered another language, but also English-as-a-second language students who have maintained their native language while mastering English.
