Title: Book: Perspectives on Teaching and Learning English Literacy in China
Body: From http://www.springer.com/education+%26+language/book/978-94-007-4993-1 Perspectives on Teaching and Learning English Literacy in China Edited by Jiening Ruan and Cynthia Leung Published by Springer Summary: This is one of two volumes by the same editors that explore historical, philosophical, and cultural perspectives on literacy in China. This volume focuses on English literacy in China, while the other volume is on Chinese literacy. In modern day China, English has enjoyed an increasingly important status in education, but not without challenges. The essays in this volume provide a comprehensive, cross-disciplinary look at changes in English literacy practices and literacy instruction in China from the first English school in the 19th century to recent curriculum reform efforts to modernize English instruction from basic education through higher education. Together, the essays address a wide array of topics, including early childhood English education, uses of information technology to teach English, and teaching English to Chinese minority students. This work is essential reading for those who want to expand their understanding of English literacy education in China.

Body: From http://www.springer.com/education+%26+language/book/978-94-007-5385-3 Competency-based Language Teaching in Higher Education Edited by María Luisa Pérez Cañado Published by Springer Summary: Spanning the divide between the theory and praxis of competency-based teaching in tertiary language education, this volume contains invaluable practical guidance for the post-secondary sector on how to approach, teach, and assess competencies in Bologna-adapted systems of study. It presents the latest results of prominent European research projects, programs of pedagogical innovation, and thematically linked academic networks. Responding to a profound need for a volume addressing the practical aspects of the newly designed language degrees now being rolled out across Europe, this essential contribution pools the insights of a prestigious set of scholars, practitioners, and policy makers from diverse parts of Europe and the US. It will inform crucial decisions about instituting and evaluating competencies in a new generation of language studies programs.

Title: November/December 2012 Issue of the NCLRC Newsletter
Body: The November/December 2012 issue of the National Capitol Language Resource Center Language Resource newsletter is out and available online at http://www.nclrc.org/newsletter.html In this issue: Language or Languages at the Core? By Tara Fortune ...What is missing from these two documents [CCSS and STEM], however, is an explicit mention of world languages and cultures education as an essential component of a well-designed, standards-based curriculum that aims to prepare a globally competitive workforce.

How can world language educators promote a shift in focus away from “(English) Language at the Core” to “Languages at the Core?” Mini-Immersions: Everyday happenings By Sheila W. Cockey How do I get my students to use more of the language in less formal situations? Assessing Culture By Mackenzie Price Teaching Strategic Reading for Chinese as a Second Language (CSL) Learners By Ruyu Li Common Core State Standards and Heritage Language Education: How do they match? Sara Beaudrie, Ph. D.
