Title: Fall Workshop: Making Sense of Writing
Body: From http://ofla.memberlodge.org FALL WORKSHOP: Making Sense of Writing – Central States Extension Workshop Denison University October 20, 2012 Why are students expected to write and what are they writing? Are they writing to practice language or writing to communicate with others to touch the world? Language teachers are increasingly finding that they must be prepared to teach students how to write in the second language classroom. It is important in this time of high stakes testing that language teachers are familiar with the work that is being done in other disciplines. Emphasis will be placed on the writing process and teachers will engage in strategies that allow students to begin to express their own thinking as they write. Strategies for writing at different proficiency levels will be shared. Teachers will also examine best practices for scoring writing and will discuss ways that teachers can minimize the paperwork involved.

Title: Murray, Utah, Students May Get Another Chance at Portuguese
Body: From http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/news/54702516-78/program-portuguese-dual-immersion.html.csp Murray students may get another chance at Portuguese Education » State Office of Education to try to secure program for 50 students affected by Murray district’s late cancellation By Melinda Rogers August 15, 2012 Families left in the lurch when the Murray School District abruptly canceled its Portuguese dual immersion program this month may get another chance to enroll their students for the 2013-14 school year. The Utah State Office of Education has vowed to try to find a way to offer the program to some of the 50 first-graders who signed up for it at Parkside Elementary School in Murray this year, but were shut out when the district didn’t hire a qualified Portuguese teacher in time. School starts Friday. Gregg Roberts, world-language specialist and dual language-immersion specialist at the Utah State Office of Education, has told some disappointed families that a Portuguese dual immersion program for second-graders is being developed, said parent Wagner Oliveira. He was among the parents who protested when Murray axed its program two weeks before the start of school. Three districts have shown interest in hosting such a program, but the details are still being worked out, said Oliveira. He said interested parents have been told they will receive more information later this fall.

Title: Resources for Middle School Japanese Students
Body: From http://www.asiaeducation.edu.au Here are teaching and learning materials for Japanese language students in years 5-8. Scenarios The six culturally relevant stories engage students with language used in context and include a number of computer-based activities. Students are presented with small 'in story' tasks, more challenging 'linked activities' and contextually relevant language and cultural information. The Scenarios include: Kasajizo, Ninja to the rescue!, Makeover camp, Big brother swap, Honeymooners and Speed dating. Language Explorers The four Explorer resources develop students' awareness of Japanese society and culture. Texts are short and based on familiar vocabulary and structures written in hiragana, simple kanji and katakana with furigana gloss. The resources explore Japanese house, In the neighbourhood, Japanese food and Samurai. Space voyage games In these innovative games students play the part of an Australian astronaut visiting a Japanese space station. Students must engage in dialogue with the inhabitants of the space station to solve a range of problems. Students review the available dialogue, then construct correct language (questions and responses) in order to make things happen. The game is predicated on prior learning and students must use conversational language to 'solve problems and save the day'. Games titles include SOS and Computer virus. Japanese reader This rich multimedia resource comprises 35 passages, organised into seven broad themes: All about me, World of words, Places, The world around me, Food and health, My world, and Getting around. In addition to student resources, the reader also contains information for the teacher, acknowledgements and a help section. Teacher resources All games are accompanied by detailed teacher notes. Access these resources at http://www.asiaeducation.edu.au/teachers/curriculum_resources/languages_cr/japanese/nalsas_japanese.html
