Title: Brief: Effective Practices for Increasing the Achievement of English Learners
Body: From http://www.cal.org/create/resources/pubs/effective-practices-for-increasing-the-achievement-of-english-learners.html Effective Practices for Increasing the Achievement of English Learners by Jana Echevarría Introduction: As schools focus on preparing students to be college and career ready, the achievement of English learners is a critical issue. It is widely acknowledged that English as a second language programs alone cannot adequately serve the large and growing numbers of English learners in U.S. schools (Brisk, 2010). These students also benefit from content area teachers using strategies and techniques that make subject matter understandable while at the same time developing students’ English language proficiency. This dual approach (i.e., content teaching that incorporates language development, typically referred to as sheltered instruction) and how best to implement it have been the research focus of the Center for Research on the Educational Achievement and Teaching of English Language Learners (CREATE). Sheltered instruction is becoming a more common approach in schools as the number of English learners in U.S. schools increases.

Title: Book: Dimensions of L2 Performance and Proficiency
Body: From http://benjamins.com/#catalog/books/lllt.32/main Dimensions of L2 Performance and Proficiency: Complexity, Accuracy and Fluency in SLA Edited by Alex Housen, Folkert Kuiken and Ineke Vedder Published by the John Benjamins Publishing Company Description: Research into complexity, accuracy and fluency (CAF) as basic dimensions of second language performance, proficiency and development has received increased attention in SLA. However, the larger picture in this field of research is often obscured by the breadth of scope, multiple objectives and lack of clarity as to how complexity, accuracy and fluency should be defined, operationalized and measured. The present volume showcases current research on CAF by bringing together eleven contributions from renowned international researchers in the field. These contributions not only add to the body of empirical knowledge about L2 use and L2 development by bringing new research findings to light but they also address fundamental theoretical and methodological issues by responding to questions about the nature, manifestation, development and assessment of CAF as multifaceted constructs. Collectively, the chapters in this book illustrate the converging and sometimes diverging approaches that different disciplines bring to CAF research.
