Title: Call for Submissions for Special Issue of the CALICO Journal
Body: Title: Second Language Acquisition Theories, Technologies, and Language Learning Co-editors: Bryan Smith (Arizona State University) and Steven L. Thorne (Penn State) This special issue of the CALICO Journal is intended to provide a state-of-the-art overview of diverse approaches to the processes, methodologies, and findings associated with second language acquisition theory and research in the context of new media and second/foreign language education. We solicit technology-related research that examines foreign and second language learning and teaching taking place in traditional instructional settings, blended learning formats, distance education contexts, as well as language use and learning in organic and open internet environments (e.g., internet interest communities, online gaming and virtual worlds, etc.). Empirical studies are particularly encouraged and critical review pieces are also welcome. The editors seek original submissions that represent diverse research methodological and theoretical approaches including (but not limited to): Psycholinguistics Human-computer interaction Ecological approaches Conversation analysis Critical applied linguistics/critical pedagogy Corpus and/or computational linguistics Cognitive neuroscience Discourse analysis Interactional sociolinguistics Language socialization Systemic functional linguistics Interaction approach to SLA Sociocognitive approaches Cultural-historical activity theory and/or Vygotskian sociocultural theory Linguistic anthropology Cultural studies Communication theory Each author will be expected to provide a concise description of the SLA approach and/or research methodology employed in the article, important research and pedagogical findings produced from this framework, and to address the strengths and limitations of the theory in relationship to applied linguistics research, pedagogical practice and technology design. Please send inquiries and suggestions for contributions to both Steve Thorne (stevenlthorne@gmail.com) and Bryan Smith (bryansmith@asu.edu). Please list CALICO Journal Special Issue in the subject line. Extended abstracts (~500 words) are due by January 15th, 2010. Full-length manuscripts are due by May 15th, 2010.

Title: Dyslexia Varies Across Languages
Body: From http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/10/091012121333.htm Dyslexia Varies Across Languages October 13, 2009 Chinese-speaking children with dyslexia have a disorder that is distinctly different, and perhaps more complicated and severe, than that of English speakers. Those differences can be seen in the brain and in the performance of Chinese children on visual and oral language tasks, reveals a report published online on October 12th in Current Biology.

Title: Signed Storybooks Online
Body: From http://www.signedstories.com/page/index.cfm Signed Stories has been designed primarily as a website for deaf children – though hearing children will enjoy it too. It’s a fun, busy space which encourages children to explore and offers easy access to a wide range of the best of British books. But it's also designed to be a resource for adults to use alongside children. The videos can be paused while you point to signs, illustrations and words, and the introduction will tell you why they've chosen those stories - which ones are good for introducing new signs or adding props and toys and which ones are simply fun to share. Go to the Signed Stories website at http://www.signedstories.com/page/index.cfm .
