In case you missed it, it's no longer politically correct to call foreign language "foreign language."
The new term is "Languages Other Than English."
Don't call it Spanish or German. It's a language other than English.
I got my hands on a report titled, "Languages Other Than English," that the Michigan Department of Education's Office of School Improvement gave to the state Board of Education on April 10.
The reason for this new PC-friendly term is to accommodate sign language in the all encompassing definition of a language other than English.
At least the term "world languages" is still acceptable on the Ed Dept.'s Web site.
The acronym, "LOTE," is also acceptable bureaucratic babbling.
A basic Google search shows that LOTE is a term used in Tasmania and Australia.
