Title: Spanish NewsBites: Learn Spanish with News Podcasts
Body: From http://spanishnewsbites.typepad.com/spanish_newsbites Spanish NewsBites is Freddy Rivers' free Spanish-learning website, designed to help you learn Spanish at the same time as you learn about what's happening RIGHT NOW throughout Spain and Latin America, whether you're a student or a teacher, or whether you're learning Spanish for fun. Three to four times a week, Mr. Rivers chooses a news story from Spain or Latin America and adapt it for language learners. Then he adds mouse rollover translation into English of key vocabulary. Then he prepares an audio transcript of the text for you to follow. Then he adds links which we think will give a little further context and generally enhance your reading. Then he adds an online self-correction exercise. The news stories are classified into categories by theme or by Spanish level - beginner, intermediate or advanced. Spanish NewsBites is available at http://www.spanishnewsbites.com/spanish_newsbites

Title: April 2010 Issue of Reading in a Foreign Language
Body: The April 2010 issue (Volume 22, Number 1) of the electronic journal Reading in a Foreign Language (RFL) is now online and can be read at http://nflrc.hawaii.edu/rfl Authors in the first section of this issue explore aspects of vocabulary and reading. Averil Coxhead begins by examining Nation’s contribution to these fields. Batia Laufer and Geke C. Ravenhorst-Kalovski focus on lexical coverage, vocabulary size, and reading comprehension. Ana Pellicer-Sánchez and Norbert Schmitt look into incidental vocabulary acquisition from an authentic novel. Warren Matsuoka and David Hirsh report on English language teaching (ELT) course book opportunities for learning vocabulary through reading. The section ends with three articles on reading alone. The first is William Grabe on reading fluency, the second is Hanna S. Gauvin and Jan H. Hulstijn looking on comparing bilingual reading speed, and then John Macalister on the effect of speed reading programmes on reading authentic texts. The second section on teaching and learning vocabulary includes work that is outside the normal brief of RFL but connected to other areas of Paul’s work. Angela Joe discusses encounters with vocabulary in English for Academic Purposes, Keith Folse looks at explicit focus on vocabulary in classrooms, and Marlise Horst follows with incidental vocabulary acquisition through teacher talk. Tom Cobb covers aspects of computer programmes and language learning which links, in terms of technology at least, with Stuart Webb on glossaries and television programmes. Paul M. Meara and Juan Carlos Olmos Alcoy move the focus to productive vocabulary size and round off this special issue. This issue also includes a book review by Ryan T. Miller. He reviews Second Language Reading Research and Instruction: Crossing the Boundaries by ZhaoHong Han and Neil J. Anderson (Eds.). RFL is a scholarly, refereed journal published on the World Wide Web by the University of Hawai`i, with Richard R. Day and Thom Hudson as the co-editors and Anne Burns, Macquarie University, as the reviews editor. The journal is sponsored by the National Foreign Language Resource Center (NFLRC), the University of Hawai‘i College of Languages, Linguistics and Literature, and the University of Hawai‘i Department of Second Language Studies. The journal is a fully-refereed journal with an editorial board of scholars in the field of foreign and second language reading. There is no subscription fee to readers of the journal. It is published twice a year, in April and October. Detailed information about Reading in a Foreign Language can be found at http://nflrc.hawaii.edu/rfl

Title: Book: Practical Language Testing
Body: From http://www.oup.com/us/catalog/general/subject/Linguistics/?view=usa&ci=9780340984482 Practical Language Testing by Glenn Fulcher Published by Oxford University Press This practical book gives guidelines on the design of assessments within the classroom, and provides the necessary tools to analyze and improve assessments, as well as deal with alignment to externally imposed standards. Testing is situated both within the classroom and within the larger social context, and readers are provided the knowledge necessary to make realistic and fair decisions about the use and implementation of tests. The book explains the normative role of large scale testing and provides alternatives that the reader can adapt to their own context. This fulfills the dual purpose of providing the reader with the knowledge they need to prepare learners for tests, and the practical skills for using assessment for learning.
