Title: Article: Teens Use Spanish Culture to Bond
Body: From http://www.newstimes.com/news/article/Danbury-and-Redding-teens-use-Spanish-culture-to-301825.php Danbury and Redding teens use Spanish culture to bond By Eileen FitzGerald December 28, 2009 Latino students at Danbury High School and Spanish students at Joel Barlow High School in Redding have connected in a program that's helped dispel myths about the two schools. It also showcases the language and culture the students share because of their roots or their studies. The 25-member Danbury High School Aspira Club and the 14 Joel Barlow students taking advanced-placement Spanish are part of a project that captured the attention of a New York University professor, who plans to use it on a Web site of best practices for teachers. Joel Barlow has fewer than 1,000 students, only 6 percent of them minority students. In contrast, Danbury High has nearly 2,900 students, of which 45 percent are minorities.

Title: Article: Schools Struggle to Help Hispanic Kids Overcome Language Barrier
Body: From http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/education/os-orange-hispanic-desegregation-20091219,0,26531.story In Orange County, schools struggle to help Hispanic kids overcome language barrier The language of learning gets much tougher in Orange as Hispanic student population rises By Erika Hobbs December 20, 2009 Thousands of kids learning English represent an enormous challenge for Orange County's public-school educators as the district tries to emerge from a desegregation order that has regulated its day-to-day operations since 1964. That case forced the district to end its dual educational system — one for blacks and one for whites. But school leaders who have spent more than 45 years in the shadow of the federal courts now face an equally complex task to serve another minority group that has grown dramatically during the past two decades. Nearly 40 percent of Orange's Hispanic students do not speak English as a first language and must take intensive classes to learn it quickly to avoid failing in school. It's a problem not just in Orange but across the nation, as well, prompting one federal official to call the education of children such as Kevin Alonzo the "civil-rights issue" of our time.

Title: WatchKnow: Educational Videos for Children
Body: From http://www.watchknow.org/About.aspx The Internet is full of useful information, but it's disorganized and often unreliable. Despite its problems, the potential of the Internet for education is especially huge. Imagine tapping into that potential. Imagine collecting all the best free educational videos made for children, and making them findable and watchable on one website. Then imagine creating many, many more such videos. Just think: millions of great short videos, and other watchable media, explaining every topic taught in schools, in every major language on Earth. Finally, imagine them all deeply and usefully categorized according to subject, education level, and placed in the order in which topics are typically taught. WatchKnow—as in, "You watch, you know"—has started building this resource. WatchKnow is both a resource for users and also a non-profit, online community that encourages everyone to collect, create, and share free, innovative, educational videos. Access WatchKnow at http://www.watchknow.org . There are currently 647 videos under the “Languages” category. Read articles about the launch of WatchKnow at http://www.eschoolnews.com/news/site-of-the-week/site/?i=61846 and at http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/curriculum/2009/11/the-creator-of-wikipedia-turns.html

Title: Book: Functional Categories in Learner Language
Body: From http://www.degruyter.de/cont/fb/sk/detailEn.cfm?id=IS-9783110216165-1 Functional Categories in Learner Language Edited by Christine Dimroth and Peter Jordens Published by de Gruyter Summary: Research on spontaneous processes of both children learning their mother tongue and adults learning a second language has shown that particular stages of acquisition can be discriminated. Initially, learner utterances can be accounted for in terms of a language system that is relatively simple. In studies on second language acquisition this learner system is called the Basic Variety (Klein and Perdue 1997). At some point in acquisition this lexical-semantic system is given up in favor of a target-like system with morpho-syntactic features to express the functional properties of finiteness, topicality, the determiner system, etc. Insights into how this process evolves may also provide an answer to the question of why it takes place.
