Title: Syntax Untangler Online Tools Helps Students Process Texts While Reading
Body: From http://courses.dcs.wisc.edu/untangler Syntax Untangler is an online activity that asks the learner to visually mark up a short primary text in any language, in order to improve small-scale reading skills. Any instructor can easily create and publish their own Syntax Untangler content (go to the Instructor Tools link below). Syntax Untangler is particularly designed for training language learners to recognize and parse linguistic features. Here are some things you could ask your students to do: Identify the parts of a separable-prefix verb within a German sentence. Draw where a syntax structure begins and ends in a short Chinese text. See demo videos of the above tasks, learn how to make your own tasks, and read more about the tool at http://courses.dcs.wisc.edu/untangler

Title: Fall 2011 Issue of AccELLerate!
Body: NCELA Quarterly Review: AccELLerate! Fall 2011 - Volume 4: Issue 1 The National Professional Development and the Native American and Alaska Native Children in School Programs This issue highlights two Office of English Language Acquisition (OELA) grant programs—the National Professional Development (NPD) program and the Native American and Alaska Native Children in School (NAM) program, looks at some of the past, ongoing, and new projects funded through these programs, and presents a variety of strategies that fall under two general topic areas—(1) professional development and (2) support for Native American and Alaska Native (NA/AN) students. The articles are grouped by these topic areas, the first being professional development (PD). López describes the NPD program and application review process, followed by several articles that report successful implementation of NPD-funded PD projects (Huss-Lederman et al., Walker & Shafer, and He & Prater). In addition, Grassi & Castro share the effects of an innovative program for pre-service teachers. The second group of articles addresses issues in NA/AN students’ education. Torres Carrion describes the NAM program and provides a list of newly funded projects. Wilde offers a summary of facts and figures regarding NAs/ANs, Rassmussen & Romanova discuss P–16 alignment, and Lara provides key strategies for addressing the needs of NA students. Several shorter articles (by Cook; Swinney; Cadiente-Laiti; and Romero-Little) offer creative ideas and state-of-the-art tools to support the teaching and learning of all EL students, including NAs/ANs. Finally, Tillman provides useful tips for grant writers. Download AccELLerate! 4.1 from http://www.ncela.gwu.edu/files/uploads/17/Accellerate_4_1.pdf

Title: Call for Papers: Graduate Student Conference in Slavic Studies
Body: From the SEELANGS listserv: CALL FOR PAPERS: UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS AT URBANA-CHAMPAIGN SLAVIC GRADUATE STUDENT CONFERENCE Discourse Across Borders: Slavic Studies from Kievan Rus to Present Day The 3rd Annual Graduate Student Conference in Slavic Studies at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign February 24-25, 2012 The Slavic Graduate Students' Association (SGSA) invites all interested graduate students to submit abstracts for our Graduate Student Conference on Discourse Across Borders: Slavic Studies from Kievan Rus to Present Day. The conference will take place on February 24th and 25th, 2011 at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Constant innovation in communication and media technologies is changing the notions of nation and national identity. We have witnessed how these new technologies can facilitate political and social revolutions. At the same time, these tools can be used to further imperialist and authoritarian agendas. Most essentially, we want to ask, what is a nation and how has this concept shifted in meaning? We want to explore the inherent difficulties in contextualizing historical national traditions, and new ways of looking at the cultural traditions of post-communist nations. We welcome papers in any discipline that enrich the study of Slavic nations. Examples include, but are not limited to: · Nationalism, Politics and Identity · Literature and Imaginary Homelands · Social Media and the Diaspora · Film, Art and Transnationalism · Pop Culture and Language · National Character and Memory To present a paper, please submit an abstract (up to 300 words in length) with your full name, institution, contact information (email address and telephone number), major area of study, and the title of the paper. If you need any audiovisual equipment, please include that as well. Submissions are due on December 28th, 2011 to Katerina Lakhmitko at klakhm2 at illinois dot edu. We will let you know if your abstract has been accepted in early January. Please submit your final paper by January 20th so that we can publish it online before the conference. If you have any questions, please contact Katerina or Alejandra O. Pires at pires2 at illinois dot edu.

Title: Symposium on Re-conceptualizing the Language Classroom as the Online Course
Body: From http://www.plc.sas.upenn.edu/events/symposium.html During the first symposium of the newly established Language Educator Series, the Penn Language Center of the University of Pennsylvania will present a model for online language courses on Saturday, December 10, 2011. Grounded on the principles of communicative language teaching, this model offers a fully online format that was designed and implemented by the Penn Language Center during the summers of 2010 and 2011 for credit courses in Gaelic, German, Polish and Turkish. Through innovative live and online collaborative instruction and mentoring, this model focuses on the development of language competence in the three modes of communication (interpersonal, presentational and interpretive). While demonstrating the technologies used with this model (Adobe Connect Pro, Blackboard, Wimba), the presenters will also consider issues related to methodology, curriculum, materials development, teacher training, assessment, articulation, student course evaluations, flexibility, and the development of new literacies. Finally, they will compare our experiences of teaching in the online environment with those of the face-to-face classroom and discuss how these distinct and separate learning spaces are related and can inform each other. The symposium is free and open to language educators, coordinators and administrators, but seating is limited. In addition to other experts in the field of online language education, the symposium will be led by award winning teachers Ed Dixon and Christina Frei.
