Title: Twitter Resources
Body: Are you curious about Twitter? Already tweeting and wondering where to find second language teaching connections? Here are some resources that may help. A recent article in the Philadelphia Inquirer describes how Twitter can be a useful tool for educators: http://articles.philly.com/2011-06-18/news/29674329_1_twitter-technology-teacher-tweets --- A recent post to the FLTEACH listserv provides the following hints for follows and also a document for finding useful resources outside of Twitter: French teacher Sylvia Duckworth (@sylviaduckworth on twitter) has put together a doc with the aim of encouraging more FL teachers to use Twitter, by allowing teachers to share recent 'finds' that they have come across as a result of tweets on Twitter. Here's the Google docs link: http://bit.ly/j79pc3 Please feel free to contribute to the doc - or just have a look at the links posted by others. If you do go on twitter, a couple of hashtags you can follow are #flteach #langchat #wlteach - hastags included in tweets of relevance or potential interest to MFL / FL / LOTE teachers. Also, have a look at the #flteach daily newspaper: http://paper.li/tag/flteach (essentially a daily digest of all of the links each day in tweets which include the #flteach hashtag, arranged to look like an online newspaper.) Lapworth, M. [FLTEACH] If you were on twitter... FLTEACH listserv (FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU, 18 Jun 2011). --- An MFLResources user recently added, “German teachers might like to check out and 'follow' @dw_learngerman - a Deutsche Welle offering @OxfordSchoolMFL - they do a good word or the day @BILD_aktuell - you have to keep in touch with the important stuff ! @Sprachwelt - größte deutsche Zeitschrift für Sprachpflege @langology - general linguistics stuff @GermanTeens - a very prolific tweeter who sees life through a teenager's eyes” Crease, A. Re: [mflresources] If you were on twitter....

Title: Book: Alternative Approaches to Second Language Acquisition
Body: From http://www.routledge.com/books/details/9780415549257 Alternative Approaches to Second Language Acquisition Edited by Dwight Atkinson Published by Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group Description: This volume presents six alternative approaches to studying second language acquisition – 'alternative' in the sense that they contrast with and/or complement the cognitivism pervading the field. All six approaches – sociocultural, complexity theory, conversation-analytic, identity, language socialization, and sociocognitive – are described according to the same set of six headings, allowing for direct comparison across approaches. Each chapter is authored by leading advocates for the approach described: James Lantolf for the sociocultural approach; Diane Larsen-Freeman for the complexity theory approach; Gabriele Kasper and Johannes Wagner for the conversation-analytic approach; Bonny Norton and Carolyn McKinney for the identity approach; Patricia Duff and Steven Talmy for the language socialization approach and Dwight Atkinson for the sociocognitive approach. Introductory and commentary chapters round out this volume. The editor’s introduction describes the significance of alternative approaches to SLA studies given its strongly cognitivist orientation. Lourdes Ortega’s commentary considers the six approaches from an 'enlightened traditional' perspective on SLA studies – a viewpoint which is cognitivist in orientation but broad enough to give serious and balanced consideration to alternative approaches.
