Title: A Case for Training All Teachers to Meet Needs of ELLs
Body: From http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/learning-the-language/2012/04/should_all_teachers_know_how_t.html A Case for Training All Teachers to Meet Needs of ELLs By Lesli A. Maxwell April 30, 2012 The Center for American Progress has put out a new paper which makes the argument that general education teachers need to be steeped in the same instructional strategies as bilingual education and English-as-a-second language teachers are, in order to support their ELL students. Authors Jennifer F. Samson and Brian A. Collins combed through the research to outline the standards, knowledge, and skills that bilingual and ESL teachers need for teaching ELLs effectively and argue that general education teachers need the same. Things like oral language development, helping students acquire academic language, and understanding the unique cultural attributes of students whose first language is not English. Those areas, say the authors, must be woven into every layer of education policy and practice from top to bottom: the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, a revision of the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher standards, state regulations, teacher preparation programs, state certification exams, and performance evaluations.

Title: Book: Advanced English Grammar
Body: From http://www.continuumbooks.com/books/detail.aspx?BookId=158702&SubjectId=989&Subject2Id=1559 Advanced English Grammar: A Linguistic Approach By Ilse Depraetere and Chad Langford Published by Continuum Description: Depraetere and Langford, with 40 years of teaching experience between them, present a grammar pitched precisely at advanced learners of English who need to understand how the English language really works without getting lost in the specifics. Most linguistically-oriented grammars of English can be intimidating and complex. On the other hand, the more basic practical grammars also available are often not advanced enough. This book pulls from linguistic theory all the relevant notions that will enable the language student to fully grasp English grammar. After introducing form and function, the authors cover verbs, nouns, aspect and tense, modality and discourse. Readers are led through the underlying principles of language use, with the book presupposing only a basic grasp of linguistic terminology. It does not get bogged down in huge amounts of detail and focuses on the crucial issues. Full of exercises and with attention paid to moving the reader through their course, this desk reference grammar is aimed at both native and non-native English speakers.
