Title: California Works on New English-Language Development Standards
Body: From http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/learning-the-language/2012/07/california_works_on_new_englis.html California Works on New English-Language Development Standards By Lesli A. Maxwell July 9, 2012 California education officials are moving ahead to revamp the state's English-language development standards so that they are aligned with the academic demands of the common-core standards in English/language arts. The state education agency has published the draft ELD standards for each grade level, along with loads of other supporting documents, and is asking for feedback before final adoption later this summer. This is noteworthy for a couple of reasons. For one, the sheer size of its English-language learner population—roughly 25 percent of the public school enrollment statewide—often makes California's policies and practices on English-language learners a signal of what other states may do later. Second, California is, once again, part of a group of states seeking to win a multimillion dollar federal grant to design a new assessment of English-language proficiency that will measure the language demands of the common standards.

Title: Book: A Grammar of Spoken English Discourse
Body: From http://www.continuumbooks.com/books/detail.aspx?BookId=168764&SearchType=Basic A Grammar of Spoken English Discourse: The Intonation of Increments By Gerard O'Grady Published by Continuum Description: David Brazil's pioneering work on the grammar of spoken discourse ended at A Grammar Of Speech (1995) due to his untimely death. Gerard O'Grady picks up the baton in this book and tests the description of used language against a spoken corpus. He incorporates findings from the last decade of corpus linguistics study, notably concerning phrases and lexical items larger than single orthographic words and ellipsis. He demonstrates the added communicative significance that the incorporation of two systems of intonation ('Key' and 'Termination') bring to the grammar. O'Grady reviews the literature and covers the theory before moving on to a practical, analytic section. His final chapter reviews the arguments, maps the road ahead and lays out the practical applications of the grammar. The book will be of interest to researchers in applied linguistics, discourse analysis and also EFL/ESL.
