Question
The Castañeda standard circumscribes classes in this subject, which enroll abnormally few Californians due to a 1998 proposition sponsored by Ron Unz (“unds”). For 10 points each:
[10e] Name this subject that Guatemala teaches with an “intercultural” model that replaced castilianization (“castilian-ization”). Its classes may use software like Rosetta Stone.
ANSWER: foreign languages [accept Spanish, español, English, inglés, Maya languages, or other specific languages; accept L2, second languages, ESL, English as a second language, bilingual education, or other specific types of foreign language learning] (Unz sponsored Proposition 227, which was repealed in 2016 by Prop 58.)
[10h] Duolingo’s Guatemalan CEO Luis von Ahn has denounced the country’s control by this informal political cabal. Bernardo Arévalo (“ah-RAY-vah-lo”) claimed to defeat this “parallel state” that obstructed prosecutions by CICIG (“see-SEEG”).
ANSWER: pact of the corrupt [or corrupt pact; or pacto de corruptos; accept corrupt elite or corruptos or word forms of corruption; prompt on pact or pacto] (CICIG was the International Commission against Impunity in Guatemala.)
[10m] The Summer Institute of Linguistics spread from Guatemala to this member state of the Taalunie (“TALL-oo-nee”). Chinese and Brazilian “New Migrants” have learned Sranan Tongo in this country’s goldfields since Alcoa closed its bauxite mines.
ANSWER: Suriname [or Republic of Suriname or Republiek Suriname; accept Surinamese Creole] (Taalunie is the Dutch Language Union.)
