Title: Article: Common Core and ELLs: Reading and Writing Persuasion
Body: From http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/learning-the-language/2013/01/common_core_and_ells_reading_a.html Common Core and ELLs: Reading and Writing Persuasion By Lesli A. Maxwell January 16, 2013 Putting complicated, original texts in front of middle school English-language learners may not be widespread practice now, but as more school districts begin the transition to the new common standards, doing so has to become the norm, not the exception. So says a group of English-learner experts who are working on a collection of instructional resources meant to help educators elevate the quality and rigor of their instruction and support for English-language learners as the common core standards roll out into classrooms. The Understanding Language team, based at Stanford University, has released its first such instructional resource in English/language arts …. Called "Persuasion Across Time and Space," the five-week unit for middle school students with at least an intermediate level of proficiency in English, is designed around persuasive speeches and texts.

Title: Article: Tapping Technology to Help English-Language Learners
Body: From http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/learning-the-language/2013/01/tapping_technology_to_help_eng.html Tapping Technology to Help English-Language Learners by Ellen Wexler January 14, 2013 A new paper examines a variety of strategies for using technology to improve the language ability and content knowledge of English learners, a fast-growing student population with diverse needs. Titled "Technology-Driven Innovations for Teaching English Learners," the paper explores technological systems and software, and overall academic approaches used by schools and districts, that the authors argue are showing promise in helping English-language learners. The paper was written by Sean Kennedy and Dan Soifer of the Lexington Institute, a conservative think tank in Arlington, Va., that conducts research on a variety of policy issues, including education. The focus of the paper is one that will surely resonate in many of the nation's districts: Over the past 15 years, the number of English-language learners enrolled in public schools increased from 3.5 million to at least 5.3 million, or by 51 percent, according to Education Week's research center.
