Title: March/April Issue of the NCLRC Language Resource Newsletter
Body: From http://www.nclrc.org This month’s newsletter theme is Connections, which ties neatly to ACTFL’s Discover Languages month. Feature author Jean W. LeLoup makes connections inside and outside the classroom. Nada M. Salem continues her exploration of teaching culture of LCTLs by examining the attitudes students bring with them to class and getting adequate training for teachers. In Crossroads in the Classroom Jack Dalton, Alaska Native, brings a unique look at the way languages used in a story open up a wealth of knowledge about a culture. In Sound Bites, Marcel LaVergne asks, “Is this a Spanish class or a geography class taught in Spanish?” Margaret E. Malone provides us with a template for assessing a performance task based on connections in our Testing Tips column. YANA, aka Sheila W. Cockey, makes connections using reflexive verbs. Jill reviews the survey for Tech for Teachers and offers lots of on-line resources and ideas.

Title: New Journal: Journal of Immersion and Content-Based Language Education
Body: From http://linguistlist.org/issues/23/23-1364.html The Journal of Immersion and Content-Based Language Education (JICB) aims at publishing research on language immersion and other types of content-based language education programs that are subject matter-driven and subject matter-accountable. The journal will provides a forum for research on well-established immersion and content-based programs as well as research on new initiatives within the broad field of content-based language education. Both program-specific and program-contrastive articles are invited. JICB editors welcome submissions of the highest quality that report on empirical research and/or offer theoretical discussions, and they seek innovative submissions that push the field forward and generate new knowledge. They encourage work that aims to break down barriers that have isolated language education from other disciplines. The content of each JICB issue is expected to be geographically broad and multidisciplinary (pedagogy; applied linguistics; sociology; psychology; speech, language, hearing sciences; language policy and planning; etc.). JICB supports the use of a wide range of research methodologies (qualitative, quantitative, mixed methods), including action research. Learn more about the journal and the types of submissions desired at http://linguistlist.org/issues/23/23-1364.html
