Title: Book: Language Testing, Migration and Citizenship
Body: From http://www.continuumbooks.com/books/detail.aspx?BookId=132286&SearchType=Basic Language Testing, Migration and Citizenship: Cross-National Perspectives on Integration Regimes Edited by Guus Extra, Massimiliano Spotti, and Piet Van Avermaet Published by Continuum Summary: This book addresses the urgent need to develop a fuller conceptual and theoretical basis for language testing than is currently available, to enable widespread discussion of this theme and the concomitant linguistic and cultural requirements. The policy proposals for civic integration have so far been conducted almost entirely at a national level, and with little regard for the experiences of a countries with long traditions of migration, such as the USA, Canada, the UK or Australia. At the same time, EU enlargment and the ongoing rise in the rate of migration into and across Europe suggest that these issues will continue to grow in importance. This book raises the level of discussion to take account of international developments and to promote a more coherent and soundly based debate. It will appeal to researchers and academics working in sociolinguistics and language education, as well as those working on language policy.

Title: Call for Papers: Current Developments in Form-Focused Interaction and Second Language Development
Body: Call for Papers Special Issue On “Current Developments In Form-Focused Interaction And Second Language Development” The Canadian Modern Language Review (CMLR) invites manuscripts to be considered for a special issue on “Current developments in form-focused interaction and second language (L2) development” to appear in September 2010. Form-focused interaction is defined here as any attempt to draw learners’ attention to linguistic forms in the context of communicative interaction, including various forms of corrective and interactional feedback. Much of the published research in this area to date has been descriptive, often concentrating on the existence of corrective feedback in conversational interaction. Fewer studies have explored the exact mechanisms whereby interactional feedback facilitates L2 acquisition. For this special issue, we invite submissions that examine more directly the contributions of form-focused interaction to L2 development. Our aim is to present the latest developments in this area from both theoretical and pedagogical perspectives. We welcome articles in English or French presenting original research on all aspects of form-focused interaction in either instructed or uninstructed contexts, targeting L2 development in any language. Papers submitted should be of interest to CLMR’s readers by presenting results that might be applicable in the Canadian learning and teaching context. Submitted articles will be subject to the normal peer review process of the CMLR. Please download the submission guidelines at the following link for information on manuscript length, the mandate of the journal, and other aspects of submission: http://www.utpjournals.com/cmlr/CMLR_submission_guidelines.pdf Final deadline for submissions: December 20th, 2009 Submissions should be sent electronically either through PReSTO: http://www.utpjournals.com/presto/cmlr or by email to: cmlr@utpress.utoronto.ca. Receipt of all manuscripts will be acknowledged within a week of their arrival. Questions about the special issue may be addressed to the co- editors: Dr Hossein Nassaji University of Victoria nassaji@uvic.ca Dr Daphnée Simard University of Quebec in Montreal simard.daphnee@uqam.ca
