On the recordFebruary 25, 2010
My understanding is that Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa, has a highly innovative foreign language skills program. Under that program, Drake students work with native speakers in groups of five or fewer three times a week. Such students may also take a ``strategies'' course, which has several goals, including helping students approach the culture they are studying through a nonethnocentric lens. Former students of this program have gone on to teach in China, become Fulbright Scholars, provide translation services, perform nonprofit and missionary work in El Salvador, complete advanced degrees in languages, and excel in the corporate world more generally. Is Drake University's language program the type of program that the intelligence community believes would be a good candidate to receive a grant from the ODNI under section 312 of H.R. 2701?
