Title: Article: Reclassification Ceremony for English Language Learners
Body: From http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2010/jul/08/learning-new-words Learning new words By Maureen Magee July 8, 2010 Hardy Elementary School in San Diego’s College Area makes a big deal out of reclassification. On Thursday, 21 students — about 33 percent of the campus English learners — received medals and certificates during a ceremony that celebrated the accomplishment. “Our message is not, ‘Yeah, English is the best language in the world.’ Our message is, ‘Yeah, you know two languages, you rock,’” Principal Kathy Wolfe told the students. San Diego Unified has been working to improve the way it educates English learners since the state issued a scathing audit of its program five years ago. The district was found out of compliance in several areas, from denying students access to core curriculum to failing to monitor students after they are reclassified.

Title: Book: Insights into Non-native Vocabulary Teaching and Learning
Body: From http://www.multilingual-matters.com/display.asp?isb=9781847692887 Insights into Non-native Vocabulary Teaching and Learning Edited by Ruben Chacon-Beltran, Christian Abello-Contesse, and Maria Del Mar Torreblanca-Lopez Published by Multilingual Matters Summary: In a field like L2 vocabulary teaching and learning where interest and research studies are burgeoning, this book offers a useful collection of papers that contains new ways of investigating vocabulary development, techniques for vocabulary teaching such as the Focus on Form hypothesis, word associations, and the use of concordance data. In addition, it tackles recent areas of analysis such as the treatment of vocabulary in teaching materials-an area of almost complete neglect in the literature. The book is divided into three parts. Part one provides the overview and deals with the development of a model for vocabulary teaching and learning. Part two focuses on empirical studies on lexical processing in English and Spanish. Part three centers on materials design for vocabulary teaching and learning. The advances made in this book will certainly be of interest to researchers, teachers, and graduate students working on this very active field of inquiry.

Title: Book: Telecollaboration 2.0
Body: From http://www.peterlang.com/Index.cfm?vLang=E&vSiteID=4&vSiteName=BookDetail.cfm&VID=430440 Telecollaboration 2.0 Language, Literacies and Intercultural Learning in the 21st Century Edited by Sarah Guth and Francesca Helm Published by the Peter Lang Publishing Group Summary: Telecollaboration, or online intercultural exchange, has become widely recognised as an effective way to promote the development of intercultural communicative competence and language skills. However, the study and implementation of new 2.0 environments such as wikis, Skype, virtual worlds and gaming for telecollaboration is still in its infancy. How can these multilingual, multimodal, collaborative environments be used to promote language and intercultural learning? What are the implications for teachers and learners and what new literacies are required? Do they offer an added value? This book seeks to answer these questions and many more by bringing together the experience and expertise of researchers and practitioners alike. The authors offer critical stances, new frameworks and practical case studies to help the reader 'navigate' the world of telecollaboration 2.0.

Title: Call for Papers: ESP in Asia Conference
Body: Following the success of the 1st ESP in Asia Conference held at Chongqing University, China, in October 2009, we are pleased to announce that the 2nd ESP in Asia Conference will be held at the University of Nottingham Ningbo China, from 11th to 13th November 2010. The theme of the conference is 'Engaging Ecologies, Evolving Empowerment'. As ESP grows in Asia, it needs to evolve practices that engage the ecologies in which it operates. Such ecologies include, on the one hand, sociolinguistic realities such as multilingualism and variation in global English(es), and, on the other hand, variable professional and academic cultures and practices in Asia. The conference theme seeks to capture the notion that through engaging these ecologies, ESP may evolve more empowering paradigms, both for individuals and for institutions. Call Deadline: 15-Sep-2010 Learn more about the conference and view the full call for papers at http://www.nottingham.edu.cn/conference/esp

Title: Canadian Modern Language Review - Special Issue Call for Papers
Body: Canadian Modern Language Review CALL FOR PAPERS - SPECIAL ISSUE "Computer-mediated discourse and interaction in second and foreign language learning and teaching" The Canadian Modern Language Review (CMLR) invites manuscripts to be considered for a special issue on "Computer-mediated discourse and interaction in second and foreign language learning and teaching," to appear in September 2012. We are interested in submissions that showcase the discourse and interaction observed in computer-mediated contexts both within and beyond formal, structured educational contexts. Possible topics include, among others, negotiation of meaning, focus-on-form(s), task-based language learning and teaching, mediation, zone of proximal development, scaffolding, assisted performance, turn-taking and the sequential organization of interaction, repair, uptake, pragmatics, and sociolinguistics in any type of computer-mediated communication or discourse (e.g., synchronous chat, blogs, forums, email, wikis, social networking sites) in any participation structure or context (e.g., between learners within the same institution, telecollaboration, informal learning or noneducational contexts). We also seek to promote the critical discussion of theoretical constructs and methodological traditions in second language acquisition and discourse/interaction studies as extended to computer-mediated discourse and computer-mediated interaction research. In addition to empirical research reports, we encourage submissions focusing on classroom praxis (cf. the CMLR "Focus on the classroom" rubric). We welcome articles in English or French presenting original research. Submitted articles will be undergo the normal peer review process of the CMLR. Final deadline for submissions: October 31, 2011.
