Title: Book: Reading in a Second Language
Body: From http://www.cambridge.org/catalogue/catalogue.asp?isbn=9780511687099 Reading in a Second Language: Moving from Theory to Practice By William Grabe Published by Cambridge University Press Summary: This volume, through a detailed treatment of the cognitive processes that support reading, explains how reading really works. It offers a thorough overview of important and current research, including first language research, which is not often found in second language acquisition (SLA) publications. This book is a true example of applied linguistics; it makes well-defined linkages between theory and practice, discussing the implications and applications of second language reading theories on instructional practices. It is a valuable resource and reference for action researchers, curriculum designers, teachers, administrators, and those interested in exploring theoretical issues grounded in instructional contexts.

Title: Workshop in WAYK for Latin
Body: If you are interested in applying the dynamic new Where Are Your Keys? language fluency game system to Latin, please join like-minded friends and colleagues at a workshop taught by "WAYK?" creator Evan Gardner and Willem Larsen from Thursday, September 23 through Saturday, September 25 on the campus of Wyoming Catholic College in Lander, Wyoming. This workshop is unique in two respects: the focus will be on Latin, and it is being offered on a pay-what-you-can basis. A suggested donation of $250 per person would cover all workshop sessions including breakfast and lunch, which will be taken together each day as curriculum activities. Workshop participants are financially responsible for their own transportation to and from the workshop site, accommodations while in Lander, dinners, and all other expenses not covered under the rubric of workshop participation, breakfast, or lunch. Participants coming in by air may wish to purchase their air tickets and lodgings as a vacation package on any of the major travel websites, and will most likely prefer hotels in the town of Lander because the next-closest community, Riverton, is 25 miles distant. To register, send a brief e-mail to Nancy E. Llewellyn, Associate Professor of Latin at Wyoming Catholic College, in which you state your firm intention to participate and the amount you will pay to do so. ADDITIONALLY, send or attach an electronic or paper copy of the receipt for your purchased air ticket. No one will be counted as a registered participant without BOTH these documents. Participants who will be arriving by car may supply other documentation by advance agreement. Deadline for all registrations is 5 PM CMT September 17, 2010. Useful links: .

Title: Job: Professor and Head Department of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures, North Carolina
Body: Professor and Head Department of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures The College of Arts & Sciences at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro invites applications and nominations for the position of Head of the newly-established Department of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures, effective August 1, 2011. The new department will formally come into existence on July 1, 2011, and will combine the faculty and programs of the existing Department of Romance Languages and the Department of German and Russian. The Head is expected to provide administrative and intellectual leadership for the department, to support the faculty in their work as scholars and teachers, and to work with the faculty to create a vision for this new department. Applications are invited from individuals whose scholarship encompasses any of the areas currently represented within the two existing departments, or whose experience could enrich the opportunities that will become available. Strong leadership and communication skills, including native or near-native command of English and the language related to the candidate’s primary research and teaching, and a record of scholarship appropriate to an appointment at the rank of Professor are required. Previous administrative experience is highly desirable. The Department of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures will be one of 19 departments in the College of Arts & Sciences (http://www.uncg.edu/aas ), with approximately 120 undergraduate majors in Spanish, French, and German, and 15 Master’s students in Spanish and French. In addition, it will offer courses in Chinese, Italian, Japanese, and Russian, with the intention of adding others in the future. The department will have 16 tenured/tenure-track faculty and 22 full-time lecturers. UNC Greensboro, one of 16 campuses in the University of North Carolina system, is classified by the Carnegie Foundation as a research university with high research activity. Enrollment is approximately 18,400 students, including 3,800 graduate students, in the College and six professional schools. Greensboro is a city of about 240,000 in the Piedmont Triad region of North Carolina, a location providing easy access to the Research Triangle and to recreational opportunities at the coast and the mountains. The local metropolitan area (which includes the cities of High Point and Winston-Salem) has a population of almost one million and offers an excellent quality of life. UNC Greensboro is especially proud of the diversity of its student body, and we seek to attract an equally diverse applicant pool for this position, including women and members of minority groups. We are an EEO/AA employer with a strong commitment to increasing faculty diversity. Review of applications will begin on October 11, 2010, and will continue until the position is filled. Applicants should submit their vita with a letter explaining their interest in the position, a description of their scholarship, a description of their approach to the responsibilities of a Department Head, and contact information for four references. Electronic submission of application materials is preferred and should be sent to DNBAKER@UNCG.EDU. Questions may be directed to the chair of the search committee, Dr. Denise N. Baker, either by e-mail or by telephone (336-334-5547). Inquiries and applications will be treated confidentially on request.
