Title: Book: Studies in Bilingual Education
Body: From http://www.peterlang.com/index.cfm?event=cmp.ccc.seitenstruktur.detailseiten&seitentyp=produkt&pk=54761&concordeid=430474 Studies in Bilingual Education Edited by Daniel Madrid and Stephen Hughes Published by the Peter Lang Publishing Company Description: This book deals with bilingual education in general, but it pays special attention to bilingual education in monolingual areas. One central aim is to study the effects of bilingual programs during the final stages of Primary and Secondary Education in contexts where the L2 (English) is not normally used as an instrument of social communication in the students' environment, but instead is used only at school, where some subject areas are undertaken totally or partially in this language. The reader interested in bilingual education will find a valuable source of information on different bilingual programs in the USA and Spain: what schools do and the contents they teach, their timetable and extracurricular activities; the specific objectives that they aim to achieve and the methodology they use, with special reference to the CLIL approach, the schools and the students' level of success with bilingual education, the most common problems that they have to face in monolingual areas and how to solve them.

Title: New Book: Words Were All We Had: Becoming Biliterate Against the Odds
Body: From http://store.tcpress.com/0807751804.shtml Words Were All We Had: Becoming Biliterate Against the Odds by María de la Luz Reyes Published by Teachers College Press This engaging collection examines the personal narratives of a select group of well-respected educators who attained biliteracy at a young age, and in the era before bilingual education. Their autobiographical accounts celebrate and make visible a linguistic potential that has been largely ignored in schools and underscores the inextricable and emotional ties that Latinos have to Spanish. Teachers can glean important lessons about the individual potential of their Latino students from the lived experiences of Latinos whose success dispels the myth that Spanish is an obstacle to learning. These stories of tenacity and resilience offer hope for a new generation of bilingual learners who are too often forced to choose between English and their native language.

Title: ReCALL Journal Special Issue: Call for Papers
Body: ReCALL Journal Special Issue: Call for Papers Digital games for language learning: challenges and opportunities Submission deadline: 30 June 2011 Publication date: September 2012 Guest editors: Steven L. Thorne, Portland State University, USA; and University of Groningen, The Netherlands stevenlthorne at gmail dot com Frederik Cornillie, K.U.Leuven Campus Kortrijk, Belgium frederik.cornillie at kuleuven-kortrijk dot be Piet Desmet, K.U.Leuven & K.U.Leuven Campus Kortrijk, Belgium piet.desmet at kuleuven-kortrijk dot be This special issue of ReCALL intends to address key issues in digital game-based language learning. In recent years, digital gaming environments have become increasingly popular in contexts which are not commonly associated with recreation and entertainment. In museums, management training, the military, and much more slowly, in formal educational settings, the emergence of games is evoking a shift away from models of learning based on information delivery toward theories of human development rooted in experiential problem solving, direct participation, and complex forms of collaboration. Games are no longer populated by demographically narrow audiences, but have become rich digital environments within which individuals from diverse social strata give expression to their identities, form new ones, and engage in plurilingual and pluricultural mediated social activity. All of this has been accompanied by a gradual diversification of games themselves. It is crucial to study these evolutions in light of issues high on the current research agenda of CALL, such as collaborative learning and functional approaches to language learning and teaching. This warrants additional research, both theoretical and applied, as to how serious and recreational games can be interpreted and realized in the context of language learning. Topics relevant to the special issue may include, but are not limited to: * theoretical considerations pertaining to serious gaming for language learning; * instructional design of digital games for language learning; * empirical studies on the effectiveness of serious games; * task-based language teaching and gaming; * cooperative learning and socio-constructivist approaches to gaming; * empirical studies of learner language in massively multiplayer online games; * implementation of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) games in classrooms; * adaptation of COTS games for language learning; * gaming and ICALL; * motivation and gaming; * learners’ perceptions of games; * learning styles and gaming; * structured play in virtual worlds. Papers, to a maximum of 7000 words, should be submitted electronically to June Thompson, d.j.thompson at hull dot ac dot uk no later than 30 June 2011. Please use the published ReCALL guidelines at http://www.eurocall-languages.org/recall/contribnotes.html when preparing your paper. ReCALL is the journal of EUROCALL, an international journal published by Cambridge University Press and listed in the major abstracting and indexing services. http://www.eurocall-languages.org/recall/index.html http://www.journals.cambridge.org/jid_REC
