Title: Book: Academic Writing in a Second or Foreign Language
Body: From http://www.continuumbooks.com/books/detail.aspx?BookId=157726&SearchType=Basic Academic Writing in a Second or Foreign Language” Issues and Challenges Facing ESL/EFL Academic Writers in Higher Education Contexts Edited by Ramona Tang Published by Continuum Description: It can be a challenge writing in a language that is not your native tongue. Constructing academic essays, dissertations and research articles in this second or foreign language is even more challenging, yet across the globe thousands of academics and students do so, some out of choice, some out of necessity. This book looks at a major issue within the field of English for Academic Purposes (EAP). It focuses on the issues confronting non-native-English-speaking academics, scholars and students, who face increasing pressure to write and publish in English, now widely acknowledged as the academic lingua franca. Questions of identity, access, pedagogy and empowerment naturally arise. This book looks at both student and professional academic writers, using qualitative text analysis, quantitative questionnaire data, corpus investigations and ethnographic approaches to searchingly examine issues central to the EAP field.

Title: Webinar On Learner-centered Environment Through Social Negotiation and Collaboration
Body: From http://nmelrc.org/nmelrc-webinar-april-20th The National Middle East Language Resource Center (NMELRC) invites you to participate in a webinar on Friday, April 20th at 1 pm Eastern Standard Time in the U.S. The topic will be: Encouraging student collaboration, negotiation, and engagement in meaningful and relevant environments. This 60-minute webinar will be led by Dr. Nicole Mills, coordinator of the Beginning French language Program at Harvard University and previous coordinator of beginning and intermediate French at the University of Pennsylvania. The webinar will focus on how to create a learner-centered environment by providing opportunities for social negotiation and collaboration through active and authentic language use in meaningful and realistic environments. Dr. Mills will present a brief overview of research and theory associated with the value of experiential and constructivist learning and student engagement in the foreign language classroom. She will then discuss a global simulation curriculum grounded in Paris, France in which students create a fictive yet culturally grounded world, assume the role of a self-developed French character, and collaborate with fellow community members (Magnin, 1997). Adapted from this curriculum, she will propose an adapted curriculum in the Persian language context. With the help of the participants, she will propose ideas for a global simulation curriculum in Beginning or Intermediate level Persian grounded within the Shiraz, Iran context. Ideas will include possible course themes, interactive writing tasks, oral exams, in-class activities, and a final play assignment which encourage student negotiation, collaboration, and active participation. The format of the webinar will be a live webcast with participants emailing in questions and comments before and during the broadcast. For more information and to RSVP go to http://nmelrc.org/nmelrc-webinar-april-20th

Title: Webinar On Learner-centered Environment Through Social Negotiation and Collaboration
Body: From http://nmelrc.org/nmelrc-webinar-april-20th The National Middle East Language Resource Center (NMELRC) invites you to participate in a webinar on Friday, April 20th at 1 pm Eastern Standard Time in the U.S. The topic will be: Encouraging student collaboration, negotiation, and engagement in meaningful and relevant environments. This 60-minute webinar will be led by Dr. Nicole Mills, coordinator of the Beginning French language Program at Harvard University and previous coordinator of beginning and intermediate French at the University of Pennsylvania. The webinar will focus on how to create a learner-centered environment by providing opportunities for social negotiation and collaboration through active and authentic language use in meaningful and realistic environments. Dr. Mills will present a brief overview of research and theory associated with the value of experiential and constructivist learning and student engagement in the foreign language classroom. She will then discuss a global simulation curriculum grounded in Paris, France in which students create a fictive yet culturally grounded world, assume the role of a self-developed French character, and collaborate with fellow community members (Magnin, 1997). Adapted from this curriculum, she will propose an adapted curriculum in the Persian language context. With the help of the participants, she will propose ideas for a global simulation curriculum in Beginning or Intermediate level Persian grounded within the Shiraz, Iran context. Ideas will include possible course themes, interactive writing tasks, oral exams, in-class activities, and a final play assignment which encourage student negotiation, collaboration, and active participation. The format of the webinar will be a live webcast with participants emailing in questions and comments before and during the broadcast.
