Title: Thousands of English-Learners Denied Services in California, ACLU Says
Body: Education Week From http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/learning-the-language/2013/01/thousands_of_ells_denied_servi.html Thousands of English-Learners Denied Services in Calif., ACLU Says By Lesli A. Maxwell January 23, 2013 More than 20,000 English-learners in California are not receiving English-language instruction that is required under state and federal law, according to civil rights lawyers who are threatening to sue the state education agency over the matter. The American Civil Liberties Union of California on Wednesday demanded that state officials take action against 251 school districts that it says are not providing English-language acquisition services to ELLs enrolled in their schools. Those districts include Los Angeles Unified, the state's largest, with roughly 670,000 students. There are roughly 1.4 million English-language learners in California. The ACLU claims that nearly 21,000 of them don't receive any language services, and that many parents are not even aware that their children have been designated as ELLs because they don't receive information in a language that they understand, in violation of state law. California education officials said 98 percent of the state's English-learners receive services, according to a statement released by the education agency.

Title: Center for Open Educational Resources and Language Learning Launches New Blog: Open Up
Body: From https://blog.coerll.utexas.edu/about The Center for Open Educational Resources and Language Learning (COERLL) has just launched Open Up, a new blog. Here’s more about COERLL and its new blog: Language teachers and students at COERLL have a common goal: to help create a culture of collaboration and sharing in order to improve the teaching and learning of foreign languages. This is the foundation of the Open Education movement in language learning. In 2008, COERLL became one of the 15 National Foreign Language Resource Centers funded by the US Department of Education. The center’s specific mission is to produce and disseminate Open Educational Resources (OER) for the Internet public. OER are “teaching, learning, and research resources that reside in the public domain or have been released under an intellectual property license that permits sharing, accessing, repurposing—including for commercial purposes—and collaborating with others.” (Free to Learn) This blog allows COERLL to speak directly with language teachers and learners interested in OER. They will bring you news, opinions, and teaching and learning resources, as well as the expertise of leaders in Open Education. You can expect a post twice a week, on Tuesday and Thursday.

Title: Book: Third Language Acquisition in Adulthood
Body: From http://benjamins.com/#catalog/books/sibil.46/main Third Language Acquisition in Adulthood Edited by Jennifer Cabrelli Amaro, Suzanne Flynn and Jason Rothman Published by the John Benjamins Publishing Company Description: In recent years, researchers have acknowledged that the study of third language acquisition cannot simply be viewed as an extension of the study of bilingualism, and the present volume’s authors agree that a point of departure that embraces the unique properties that differentiate L2 acquisition from L3/Ln acquisition is essential. From linguistic, sociological, psychological, educational and cognitive viewpoints, it has become increasingly apparent that the study of L3/Ln acquisition can provide new evidence to help resolve ongoing debates in these areas of study. This volume uniquely provides a wide-ranging overview of current trends in the study of adult additive multilingualism from formal, psycholinguistic and sociolinguistic perspectives, adding new insights into adult multilingual epistemology. This collection includes critical reviews of L3/Ln morphosyntax, phonology, and the lexicon, as well as individual studies with unique language pairings including Romance, Germanic, Slavic, and Asian languages.
