Title: Radio Diaries: Oral History Project on National Public Radio
Body: From http://www.radiodiaries.org/aboutus.html Radio Diaries works with people to document their own lives for public radio: teenagers, seniors, prison inmates and others whose voices are rarely heard. Diarists become reporters of their own lives. They conduct interviews, keep an audio journal, and record the sounds of daily life—usually collecting over 30 hours of raw tape. Radio Diaries also publishes an oral history guide for young people, the Teen Reporter Handbook, which is used in schools and community radio stations across the country. Involving English language learners in an oral history project could be an exciting learning experience. Visit the Radio Diaries website at http://www.radiodiaries.org to learn more. See one example of a Radio Diary-inspired project at http://faculty.lagcc.cuny.edu/eheppner/radiodiaries/default.htm

Title: National K - 12 Foreign Language Survey
Body: From http://www.cal.org/projects/flsurvey.html The Center for Applied Linguistics (CAL) conducts a national survey of foreign language instruction in public and private elementary and secondary schools every decade to provide an updated national and regional portrait of foreign language instruction in the United States. The survey results present national and regional data; state-by-state data were not an outcome of this survey. Answers to the following questions are presented in the final survey results: * How is students’ language proficiency assessed? * Do teachers integrate national and/or state foreign language standards into their instruction? * How much do teachers use the foreign language in the classroom? The overarching theme in the analysis was how the data can be used to help our country increase and improve language teaching in elementary and secondary schools over the next decade. Read more about the survey, download an executive summary, and order the report online at http://www.cal.org/projects/flsurvey.html

Title: Language Pronunciation Tool
Body: From http://www.learningtools.arts.ubc.ca/pronunciation.htm The Language Pronunciation and Comprehension Learning Tool (LPCLT) is a linguistics toolkit designed to enhance a student's comprehension and pronunciation of a particular language. This new learning tool developed by Arts Instructional Support (Arts IS) allows professors to author vocabulary and sentence structures into an oral component, to aid students in learning to hear and speak a new language. The authored component is a digitally recorded question-and-answer set. The aim of this advanced tool is to ask students particular context questions such as "What time did James arrive home from the airport" for which students will have to answer orally into a microphone i.e. "James arrived home from the airport at 6:30." The student receives the correct answer through his/her headphones (authored by the instructor), which is juxtaposed against the student's answer. Access this tool at http://www.learningtools.arts.ubc.ca/pronunciation.htm

Title: Book: Researching Collocations in Another Language
Body: From http://www.palgrave.com/products/title.aspx?PID=291907 Researching Collocations in Another Language: Multiple Interpretations Edited by Andy Barfield and Henrik Gyllstad Published by Palgrave Macmillan Summary: Researching Collocations in Another Language helps us understand more deeply why collocation knowledge and performance are one of the most fascinating (and at times frustrating) challenges that second language users face. This volume brings together 12 studies from Asia, Europe and North America, divided into four sets: (i) using learner corpora to identify patterns of L2 collocation use, (ii) developing appropriate L2 collocation dictionary and classroom materials, (iii) investigating how learners' L2 collocation knowledge can be assessed, and (iv) exploring how learners develop their L2 collocation knowledge and use. Each set of studies includes three research chapters and a critical commentary written by experts in the respective field. The book also features an introduction to second language collocation research, and a thought-provoking conclusion chapter on wider issues and challenges. The volume thus offers teachers, researchers, and graduate students a highly valuable and critical focus on second language collocation knowledge and performance.

Title: Book: Low-Educated Adult Second Language and Literacy Acquisition
Body: From http://linguistlist.org/issues/20/20-3766.html Title: Low-Educated Adult Second Language and Literacy Acquisition Subtitle: 4th Symposium - Antwerp 2008 Editors: Ineke van de Craats and Jeanne Kurvers Publisher: Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics Summary: The language and literacy development by adult learners with little or no schooling in their native country continues to be a relatively new and almost unexplored domain. The fourth LESLLA symposium in Antwerp brought together researchers, policy-makers, and practitioners from various countries with the common aim of accumulating findings and sharing them to improve instructional practice and educational policy with regard to low-educated adult immigrants. Recurrent themes at the symposium and in the papers of this bundle are: bringing the outside world into the classroom, how long does it take to become literate, assessing adult literacy learners, and language technology in the literacy class. New at LESLLA was a panel on African literacies. Order a copy at http://lotos.library.uu.nl/index.html

Title: Call for Papers: 3rd International Conference on Polish Studies
Body: CALL FOR PAPERS Polish Studies in the 21st Century 3rd International Conference on Polish Studies September 16-18, 2010 University of Michigan, Ann Arbor The Copernicus Endowment for Polish Studies at the University of Michigan welcomes proposals for papers and presentations at the 3rd International Conference in Polish Studies, to be held September 16-18, 2010, in Ann Arbor. The field of Polish studies in North America has been utterly transformed over the past decade. There are now more people than ever studying Polish language, literature, culture, history, society, and politics, and the overwhelming majority of them entered the profession after the fall of communism. With this new generation of scholars have come new forms of scholarship. The broad cluster of methodological and theoretical innovations collected under the rubric of Cultural Studies has brought to light a range of previously unexplored topics and introduced to our work a heightened degree of self-reflexivity. Work on gender and sexuality, for example, has not merely introduced new analytical categories and new themes, but shifted the way we understand the broad narratives of Polish history, culture, and society. Although Polonists have a long history of working across disciplinary boundaries, the vectors of interdisciplinarity have been shifting in recent years to bring together perspectives that were not always in dialogue. The moves towards comparative work and a new focus on transnational processes have not so much eclipsed Polish studies as forced us to critically examine the concept of the “Polish Nation” and to re-conceptualize it in more productive ways. The Steering Committee is particularly interested in receiving proposals that cut across disciplinary boundaries. Novel approaches to Polish Studies, in both theory and practice, will be favored over papers that merely attempt to fill “gaps” in available scholarship. Advanced graduate students and junior scholars are especially encouraged to submit proposals. Please submit an abstract of 250-500 words as a Microsoft Word (.doc or .docx) file by email to polishstudies@ctools.umich.edu. Abstracts will be accepted until January 15, 2010. Upon acceptance, attendees at the conference will be asked to contribute a non-refundable registration fee of USD 100. Limited financial assistance is available as needed, though participants are first asked to exhaust resources for conference travel at their home institutions. Beinek, J.
