Title: The World in Words: Podcasts about Different Cultures, Languages
Body: From http://www.theworld.org PRI’s The World is a one-hour, weekday radio news magazine offering a mix of news, features, interviews, and music from around the globe. The World in Words is a collection of podcasts dealing specifically with language issues around the world. Access the podcasts at http://www.theworld.org/the-world-in-words-podcast . Here is a summary of the February 15th podcast: Hundreds of language programs at public schools have become victims of shrinking budgets. Not Chinese. We visit an inner city high school where 400 students are learning Chinese. Also, don’t be fooled: the language of love is not universal, not unless you keep you mouth shut. That’s the view of an American woman who endlessly misunderstands the amorous words of her German-speaking lover. Plus, bodice-ripping our way out of the recession: romance novels are more popular than ever. An associated blog is available at http://patrickcox.wordpress.com

Title: 2008 Bibliography of African Studies Now Available
Body: EDINBURGH UNIVERSITY PRESS for the International African Institute is pleased to announce publication of the Africa Bibliography 2008. http://www.euppublishing.com/journal/abib www.internationalafricaninstitute.org AFRICA BIBLIOGRAPHY 2008 Works on Africa published during 2008 Edited by T. A. Barringer ISSN 0266-6731 e-ISSN 1757-1642 A new volume of the large and authoritative guide to works in African studies, published under the auspices of the International African Institute annually since 1984, is available. Africa Bibliography includes a wide range of materials: monographs, chapters in edited volumes, journal articles, and pamphlets. It covers all regions of Africa, including North Africa and the continent's associated islands. It lists works published in English as well as a number of other languages. The bibliography categorizes by region, country and subject. The opening article in this year's volume considers the role of bibliographies in increasing structured access to the plethora of scholarly information to, within and from Africa in the current information era, which has exacerbated the gap between developed and developing countries' access to information for research and education. In an attempt to provide at least a partial answer to this question, Susan Murray provides a case study of African Journals OnLine (AJOL). The article is available as a 'featured article', freely downloadable at http://www.euppublishing.com/doi/abs/10.3366/abib.2008.2 .

Title: Book: Multilingual Norms
Body: From http://www.peterlang.com/index.cfm?vID=59637&vLang=E Multilingual Norms Edited by Madalena Cruz-Ferreira Published by the Peter Lang Publishing Group Summary: Multilinguals are not multiple monolinguals. Yet multilingual assessment proceeds through monolingual norms, as if fair conclusions were possible in the absence of fair comparison. In addition, multilingualism concerns what people do with language, not what languages do to people. Yet research focus remains on multilinguals' languages, as if languages existed despite their users. This book redresses these paradoxes. Multilingual scholars, teachers and speech-language clinicians from Europe, Asia, Australia and the US contribute the first studies dedicated to multilingual norms, those found in real-life multilingual development, assessment and use. Readership includes educators, clinicians, decision-makers and researchers interested in multilingualism. Visit the publisher’s website at http://www.peterlang.com/index.cfm?vID=59637&vLang=E
