Title: Interview: Prizing English Language Learners
Body: From http://tinyurl.com/yz2ozog Ted Appel of Luther Burbank High School in California sees students who are still learning English as an asset. More than half of his school's students are English language learners. About nine in ten come from low-income families. Though some schools might see such students as a drag on their test scores, Luther Burbank High welcomes them from neighborhoods far from its own. For Appel, such students enrich the school in ways standard school rating systems cannot begin to capture. Read an interview with Mr. Appel at http://tinyurl.com/yz2ozog

Title: Article: Real-Time Technology in Middle School Language Instruction
Body: From http://thejournal.com/articles/2010/03/17/real-time-technology-in-middle-school-language-instruction.aspx Real-Time Technology in Middle School Language Instruction By Ruth Reynard March 17, 2010 Teaching second or foreign language culture without the authentic flow from actual first language speakers and cultural participants is often contrived and seems artificial for language students. German teacher Mary Ann Dolezal described using Web 2.0 tools for students to speak in real-time exchanges, written or audio exchanges in both real and archived format, and also exchanges of cultural nuances and details that are fascinating for language students.
