Title: Ideas for English Language Learners | The Summer Olympics
Body: From http://learning.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/07/27/ideas-for-english-language-learners-the-summer-olympics Teaching With the Olympics: Ideas for English Language Learners By LARRY FERLAZZO The Olympics offer countless opportunities for learning. With most countries in the world participating, the Games are especially interesting for E.L.L.s since it’s likely that every student will have a representative from his or her native country participating. Here is a selection of Times pieces, along with ideas for teaching with them. But remember: new photographs, articles, videos and infographics will be published daily throughout the Games. http://learning.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/07/27/ideas-for-english-language-learners-the-summer-olympics Mr. Ferlazzo’s article is the first in a new regular feature on the Learning Network: “Ideas for E.L.L.s,” a monthly selection of New York Times articles, infographics, videos and photographs that are especially accessible for English language learners around the globe — and that could, of course, be useful for any learner for whom Times content can be difficult.

Title: Summer 2012 Issue of the ESL GLOBE
Body: The Summer 2012 issue of the ESL GLOBE has just been published. You can find it at: http://www.ncsu.edu/eslglobe The focus of this issue is how instructional models must change to meet the needs of 21st century learners. The learning and thinking styles of today's digital native students differ sharply from those of their 20th century predecessors, and many forward-thinking educators consider it a moral imperative to develop and implement strategies for interactive, collaborative learning driven by new technologies. This issue takes a look at MOOCS, flipped classrooms, crowdsourcing, and the highly successful initiative of the Khan Academy. As usual, there are tips for the ESL classroom, discussions of current issues, and lists of resources and books. Swisher, N. New ESL Globe Issue. 4 Aug 2012.

Body: From http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/global_learning/2012/08/visualize_the_world_museum_resources_for_global_learning.html Museums house collections of art and artifacts of cultural and historical importance. Visitors to museums learn about traditions, but more importantly, are challenged to think critically about creativity and perspectives. Museums help people learn about humans through time and place, and the human condition in general. There are a number of museums that cater to global learners. Here are links to some of them and the educational resources they offer: http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/global_learning/2012/08/visualize_the_world_museum_resources_for_global_learning.html

Title: Book: Second Language Socialization and Learner Agency: Adoptive Family Talk
Body: From http://www.multilingual-matters.com/display.asp?isb=9781847697844 Second Language Socialization and Learner Agency: Adoptive Family Talk By Lyn Wright Fogle Published by Multilingual Matters Summary: This book examines how Russian-speaking adoptees in three US families actively shape opportunities for language learning and identity construction in everyday interactions. By focusing on a different practice in each family (i.e. narrative talk about the day, metalinguistic discourse or languaging, and code-switching), the analyses uncover different types of learner agency and show how language socialization is collaborative and co-constructed. The learners in this study achieve agency through resistance, participation, and negotiation, and the findings demonstrate the complex ways in which novices transform communities in transnational contexts. The perspectives inform the fields of second language acquisition and language maintenance and shift. The book further provides a rare glimpse of the quotidian negotiations of adoptive family life and suggestions for supporting adoptees as young bilinguals.

Title: Book: Dynamic Vocabulary Development in a Foreign Language
Body: From http://www.peterlang.com/index.cfm?event=cmp.ccc.seitenstruktur.detailseiten&seitentyp=produkt&pk=64351&concordeid=431106 Dynamic Vocabulary Development in a Foreign Language By Yongyan Zheng Published by Peter Lang International Academic Publishers Summary: The Dynamic Systems Theory perspective offers new lenses to probe into long-term foreign language development. This book reports on findings of a longitudinal multiple-case study on the vocabulary development of eight university-level Chinese learners of English. Framed within the Dynamic Systems framework, the study assumes a holistic perspective towards vocabulary knowledge and aims to project a comprehensive picture of vocabulary development in a typical foreign language learning setting such as the Chinese context. To this end, a wide array of quantitative measurements and qualitative methods was employed. In-depth examination was given to both psycholinguistic and sociocultural processes involved in the complex and dynamic development of vocabulary knowledge. Efforts were also made to establish meaningful links between the learners' cognitive, mental, pedagogical and social contexts. Although the focus is on vocabulary development, what is discussed in the book is applicable to a wide range of topics in foreign language learning and development.
