Title: Workshop: Response to Intervention and English Language Learners: Instructional & Assessment Considerations
Body: From http://www.nysrti.org Response to Intervention and English Language Learners: Instructional & Assessment Considerations RtI models that involve English Language Learners require a comprehensive, collaborative approach in which educators have a common understanding of second language acquisition, cultural influences on teaching and learning, and effective instructional practices. This all day workshop provides a brief overview of RtI and focuses on the relevant instructional and assessment factors schools need to consider when implementing the RtI process with English Language Learners. Participants will explore the essential features of RtI models with a focus on quality core instruction to ELLs, using data to identify struggling students, factors to consider when selecting "research-based interventions," aligning interventions with linguistic and cultural characteristics, the role of the problem-solving team, and evaluating student response. Location United Federation of Teachers 52 Broadway 5th Floor Auditorium Manhattan, NY 1004 Date: Monday, December 7th, 2009 Access full information at http://www.nysrti.org/page/new-york-city

Title: CLTA Study Abroad Grants
Body: Each year CLTA coordinates the awarding of ten grants to study abroad. The grants are sponsored by various foreign agencies. Although some of these grants are not yet confirmed, they include the French Government for study in France (2), the Goethe Institut to study in Germany, the Spanish Embassy to study in Spain, the Quebec Government Office to study in Quebec, the Japan Foundation to study in France, the Spanish Language Institute to study in Cuernavaca, Mexico, the Italian Government Grant to study in Perugia, Italy, and a University of Venice Grant to study in Venice. In addition, CLTA offers a Memorial Scholarship for members to design their own travel abroad for study and/or travel. Most of these grants have only 1 or 2 applicants, and some years there are no qualified applicants for some of the grants. Free summer study abroad and few teachers apply! Why is that? 1) The application deadline comes at a very inconvenient time, right after Christmas vacation (January 22, 2010), 2) The application requires two consecutive years of CLTA membership (2009 and 2010). You can renew your membership in CLTA for 2009 until Dec. 31. You can renew your membership for 2010 at any time. To renew go to http://www.clta.net/membership . Membership renewal forms for both years are available. You can study abroad for free next summer. 1) Plan ahead. 2) Renew your membership in CLTA every year. 3) Information and applications for 2010 grants are available. You can find them at http://www.clta.net/awards . The details of each grant differ from grant to grant. They can include several weeks of study, tuition, room and board, supplies, activities, and tours. The study abroad grants do not include transportation to the study sites. So CLTA offers LangAbroad scholarships to help with the expense of airfare.

Title: Article: Babies' Language Learning Starts From The Womb
Body: From http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/11/091105092607.htm Babies' Language Learning Starts From The Womb November 5, 2009 From their very first days, newborns' cries already bear the mark of the language their parents speak, reveals a new study published online in Current Biology. The findings suggest that infants begin picking up elements of what will be their first language in the womb, and certainly long before their first babble or coo. Kathleen Wermke's team recorded and analyzed the cries of 60 healthy newborns, 30 born into French-speaking families and 30 born into German-speaking families, when they were three to five days old. That analysis revealed clear differences in the shape of the newborns' cry melodies, based on their mother tongue.

Title: Foreign Alphabets Approved for Domain Naming
Body: From http://news.ecoustics.com/bbs/messages/10381/600292.html Foreign Alphabets Approved for Domain Naming ICANN Approves Initial Use of Internationalized Domain Names October 30, 2009 The Internet's naming system has become truly global with the approval of new extensions that will eventually enable entire website address names to be written in all the language scripts of the world. The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) today agreed on the introduction of a number of "internationalized" domain names, or IDNs, where scripts such as Chinese, Korean or Arabic will be used in the last portion of an address name -- the part after the dot such as dot-com and dot-org. Currently, due to technical constraints, all domain names end in letters from the Latin alphabet (A through Z). After years of work by ICANN, a global system for the use of other scripts in domain names has been designed, tested and now approved. It could lead to a dramatic increase in the number of global Internet users. Read the full article at http://news.ecoustics.com/bbs/messages/10381/600292.html
