Title: Mobile Tech in Classrooms Boost English Learners
Body: From http://newamericamedia.org/2011/06/mobile-devices-in-classroom-give-english-learners-a-leg-up.php Mobile Tech in Classrooms Boost English Learners Photo Essay, Jacob Simas and Vivian Po June 27, 2011 On a rainy Wednesday morning at Tyrrell Elementary in Hayward, sixth-grade teacher Francisco Nieto was giving his students—all English language learners —an in-class assignment: To fill in the blanks of sentences with new words they learned from reading Lois Lowry’s book, “The Giver.” “Intricate,” said Nieto. “What does it mean?” “Very complicated but detailed!” screamed one student from the other end of the classroom, iPod in hand, after looking up the word quickly online. It all began last fall, when Nieto began incorporating his personal iPad into lectures as a learning tool, taking advantage of the wireless Internet service available on campus to call up information instantly, with the tap of his finger. Shortly thereafter, when a student asked Nieto if he could bring his iPod to class, Nieto agreed, and neither teacher nor student has looked back since. Now, more and more of Nieto’s students are bringing their mobile devices to class. Many choose to turn in their homework via email, and the class even designed a blog together. Nearly half the students use mobile devices during in-class lessons, and those without their own, team up to work in pairs with those who do.

Title: Book: Specialised Languages in the Global Village
Body: From http://linguistlist.org/issues/22/22-2753.html Specialised Languages in the Global Village: A Multi-Perspective Approach Edited by Maida Watson Published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing Description: The status of LSP (Languages for Specialised Purposes) in the contemporary socio-cultural context is an ongoing central issue of scholarly debate. Specialised Languages in the Global Village examines the impact of globalisation on intercultural communication within specialised communities of practice. The contributions to the volume provide linguistically and pedagogically-informed discussion on modes of communication practice in professional and institutional domains, frames of social action and the construction of professional identities. The contributors also address issues of languages and social entrepreneurship, and the acquisition and development of linguistic/cultural competence in foreign languages for specialised purposes. The edition is a valuable resource for researchers in LSP, specialists in the fields of discourse analysis, sociolinguistics and scholars in the area of rhetoric and composition. It will also be of interest to professional translators, language editors and language advisors in the fields of specialised academic/professional communication. LSP instructors and foreign language teachers will also find informed guidelines and useful pedagogical proposals for classroom implementation.
