Title: Head of Federal English-Language Acquisition Office Steps Down
Body: From http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/learning-the-language/2012/10/head_of_federal_english-langua.html Head of Federal English-Language Acquisition Office Steps Down By Lesli A. Maxwell October 26, 2012 Rosalinda B. Barrera, the director of the office of English-language acquisition for the U.S. Department of Education for the last two years, has resigned her position, a department spokesman has confirmed. Barrera's last day was Oct. 19. There was no official explanation from the department on why she stepped down. Barrera, the former dean of the college of education at Texas State University-San Marcos, was selected to helm the office after a two-year stretch when there was no permanent leadership. She also took the job after the OELA had lost its oversight and authority over funds from Title III, the provision of the No Child Left Behind Act that authorizes spending for English-language acquisition programs. Since 2008, that authority has resided with the elementary and secondary education office in the department. During her two years, she hosted a number of "national conversations" in a half dozen cities around the country where English-language learners constitute a significant proportion of public school enrollment. Joanne Urrutia, the former head of language acquisition and bilingual programs in the Miami-Dade public schools, has been serving as OELA's deputy director, but no word yet as to whether she, or some other appointee, will succeed Barrera.

Title: College Board Puts Spotlight on Needs of ELLs, New Kinds of Tests
Body: From http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/learning-the-language/2012/10/college_board_puts_needs_of_el.html College Board Puts Spotlight on Needs of ELLs, New Kinds of Tests By Catherine Gewertz October 24, 2012 The annual meeting of the College Board got off to an unusual start: with a high-profile session on English-learners' "right to rigor," moderated by none other than the organization's brand-new president, David Coleman. The session, a panel discussion by three nationally known ELL experts, sent a bevy of potent signals to the field about the organization's priorities as new leadership takes hold. Not only do these priorities come straight from the top—as symbolized by Coleman's presence on the dais—but they feature a big shift in thinking about how to teach students who are learning English. Coleman, widely known as the chief architect of the common standards in English/language arts, made it clear that the central place of "complex text" in those standards extends to English-learners. As many teachers already know—but too many still don't embody in their teaching—students learning English can be robbed of opportunities to grow when they are given watered-down texts in response to their still-developing English-language skills.

Title: Translating the Common Core for Dual-Language Classrooms
Body: From http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/learning-the-language/2012/10/translating_the_common_core_fo.html Translating the Common Core for Dual-Language Classrooms By Lesli A. Maxwell October 23, 2012 When it comes to putting the new common standards into classroom practice, dual-language teachers must prepare and adapt their instructional strategies to teach the more-rigorous common standards in language arts and mathematics not only in English, but in a second language. In many dual-language programs, particularly in the early grades, students are learning as much as 90 percent of their content in the target, non-English language. So what does the common core look like in Spanish language arts, for example? Who is doing the kind of translation and modification that dual-language teachers need to bridge the language they are teaching in with the content standards? And where can dual-language teachers find more resources to help them? There are a few efforts I've recently become aware of, and I'm sure many more exist. But here is what I've come across so far, and I'd encourage anyone with other resources to chip in.

Title: Book: English-Medium Instruction at Universities
Body: From http://www.multilingual-matters.com/display.asp?isb=9781847698148 English-Medium Instruction at Universities: Global Challenges By Aintzane Doiz, David Lasagabaster, and Juan Manuel Sierra Published by Multilingual Matters Summary: This book provides critical insights into the English-medium instruction (EMI) experiences which have been implemented at a number of universities in countries such as China, Finland, Israel, the Netherlands, South Africa, Spain and the USA, which are characterized by differing political, cultural and sociolinguistic situations. In particular, it reflects on the consequences of implementing EMI as an attempt to gain visibility and as a strategy in response to the need to become competitive in both national and international markets. The pitfalls and challenges specific to each setting are analyzed, and the pedagogical issues and methodological implications that arise from the implementation of these programs are also discussed. This volume will serve to advance our awareness about the strategies and tools needed to improve EMI at tertiary level.
