Title: Bilingual Mandate Challenges Chicago's Public Preschools
Body: From http://www.edweek.org/ew/articles/2010/11/29/13preschool_ep.h30.html?tkn=NYOFmaok3dCMZnkbSmBY/YbYS1u8rRAG51er&cmp=clp-sb-actfl Bilingual Mandate Challenges Chicago's Public Preschools by Mary Ann Zehr November 29, 2010 New rules approved by the Illinois state board of education in June flesh out a January 2009 change that essentially extends the same requirements for educating English-language learners in K-12 public schools to 3- and 4-year-olds in public preschool centers. The new rules say that if a public preschool center has at least 20 students who speak the same language, it must offer bilingual education. By July 2014, they also say, all lead preschool teachers with ELLs in their classrooms must have an endorsement in bilingual education or English as a second language. Currently, many Illinois preschools rely on teacher assistants to provide native-language support to youngsters.

Title: Blogs, Wikis, Listservs, RSS Feeds, Social Networks, Oh My!
Body: A lot is happening in the field of language teaching and acquisition, and the Internet is full of news, materials, and ideas for language teachers. However, it’s easy for a busy teacher to feel overwhelmed by all of the information out there. In this and upcoming issues of InterCom we’ll be focusing on some Internet-based tools that teachers can use to keep abreast of developments in the language pedagogy field and to find great classroom resources. In today’s issue we’ll define some useful tools and provide links to other sites that explain in more detail what each tool is, how to use it, and what it has to offer. Listservs: A listserv is an e-mail list. Users subscribe to a listserv to receive mass e-mailings. InterCom is a listserv with a twist: when you subscribe, you select what content you want to hear about so that the e-mail you receive is customized to your preferences. Other examples of listservs are FLTEACH (http://www.cortland.edu/flteach ), language-specific groups such as the American Association of Teachers of German listserv (http://www.aatg.org/listserv/33-aatg-listserv ), and listservs of state organizations like the Ohio Foreign Language Association (http://www.ofla-online.org/index.php/ofla-listserv ). Some listservs are interactive, with subscribers freely posting e-mails to the entire e-mail list, while others (like InterCom) are a one-way means of communication. You can read more about listservs at http://www.educationworld.com/a_curr/curr062.shtml Blogs: Blog is short for “web log.” Most blog owners frequently add new entries to their blogs, so that new entries appear at the top of the page and older entries are archived by date or topic. Many language teachers have blogs that they use to share their ideas, experiences, and resources with other language professionals. For example, Zachary Jones’s keep his Actualidades blog hopping with frequent culture-based activities for Spanish teachers and learners (http://zachary-jones.com/spanish ). bab.la and Lexiophiles release a list of the top100 language blogs each year; you can see the 2010 winners at http://en.bab.la/news/top-100-language-blogs-2010 . Learn more about blogging at http://tinyurl.com/33j5xsd Social Networks: Online social networks are platforms that enable people to interact with each other via the Internet. Facebook is an example of a general-purpose social network. Within Facebook users can create groups for people who share a common interest, such as teaching Spanish (http://casls.uoregon.edu/intercom/site/view-article.php?ArticleID=10167 ). Some social networks are intended especially for educators, such as edWeb (http://www.edweb.net ) and Classroom 2.0 (http://www.classroom20.com ). Educator City is a social network especially for language teachers (http://educatorcity.com/about-us.html ). See a fuller explanation of social networking at http://www.ict4lt.org/en/en_mod1-5.htm#socnet Wikis: A wiki is a website that multiple people can contribute to and modify. Teachers and organizations have created wikis where teachers can share materials with each other, such as the new GermanWiki with its collection of collaborative pages at http://germanshare.dyndns.org/index.php?option=com_jwiki&Itemid=64 . Read more about wikis at http://www.edweek.org/dd/articles/2007/09/12/02wiki.h01.html RSS Feeds: RSS is short for Really Simple Syndication. Websites that use RSS will alert you every time new content is added. For example, if you subscribe to a blog’s RSS feed, you will be alerted each time a new blog entry is added. You can learn more about RSS feeds at http://www.ict4lt.org/en/en_mod2-3.htm#rssfeeds , http://computer.howstuffworks.com/internet/basics/rss.htm , and http://www.google.com/support/feedburner/bin/answer.py?answer=79408 Stay tuned for next week’s InterCom issue, in which we’ll tell you about listservs, blogs, wikis, and social networks that you may find especially useful.

Title: Book: English for Professional and Academic Purposes
Body: From http://www.rodopi.nl/senj.asp?BookId=USLC+22 English for Professional and Academic Purposes. Edited by Miguel F. Ruiz-Garrido, Juan C. Palmer-Silveira and Inmaculada Fortanet-Gómez Publisher: Rodopi Description: English in academic and professional settings has received great attention over the last 50 years, as its use has become a key asset for anyone interested in improving his/her chances of communicating internationally. However, it still offers rich opportunities for teachers and researchers working on English in specific settings. The aim of English for Professional and Academic Purposes is to offer an overview of several topics within the field of discourse analysis applied to English in academic and professional domains. The book compiles contributions from different origins, ranging from Japan to the USA and several European countries, and covers English as a native, second, foreign and international language. It also deals with various specialities, including academic writing, business discourse or English for medicine, nursing, maritime industry and science and engineering. This volume is divided into three sections: Discourse Analysis of English for Academic Purposes, Professional English and EPAP Pedagogy, since it was conceived as a contribution to the research on how English is analysed as both the discourse of and for effective communication in academic and professional settings, and how it can be applied to teaching. This manuscript offers some fresh insights for those involved or interested in this field of expertise, in an attempt to shed some light on its latest innovations.

Title: Book: Online Second Language Acquisition
Body: From http://www.continuumbooks.com/books/detail.aspx?BookId=132981&SearchType=Basic Online Second Language Acquisition: Conversation Analysis of Online Chat by Vincenza Tudini Publisher: Continuum Summary: A book-length exploration of the role of online chat in supporting the teaching and learning of foreign languages is well overdue. Tudini's new book takes a Conversation Analysis approach, which is new to online Second Language Acquisition. It provides observable, previously undocumented insights into how native speakers and learners pursue the learning of foreign language and culture during online text chat. It looks at dyadic chat between native speakers and learners, with examples drawn from a corpus featuring 133 learners and 584 native speakers of Italian. This unique book contributes to our understanding of how conversation in a foreign language unfolds between native speakers and learners in an online social environment, rather than in the classroom. It will be of interest to researchers in second language acquisition and conversation analysis, as well as language teachers.
