Title: Online Resources for Teaching Spanish
Body: From http://www.cervantes.es/bibliotecas_documentacion_espanol/default.htm You can download an 82-page booklet full of descriptions of online resources for teaching Spanish, assembled by the Spanish embassy. Here is a Spanish-language description of the booklet, called Recursos en línea para la enseñanza del Español como lengua extranjera (2012): En el año 2009 la Consejería publicó una primera recopilación de recursos que incluía una selección de aproximadamente cien sitios web relacionados con el español y su enseñanza, fundamentalmente, como lengua extranjera. Se hacía inevitable y necesario actualizar la recopilación incluyendo y actualizando algunos de los recursos, teniendo siempre en cuenta que ni la anterior recopilación ni la actual pueden indexar toda la variedad de recursos disponibles en la red. En esta edición hemos decidido priorizar la inclusión de portales institucionales o de recursos multifuncionales, que creemos que pueden tener una utilidad variada como variado es el público al que va dirigida esta recopilación. Como la vez anterior, la información se suministra en forma de ficha. Se incluye el nombre principal del sitio web, un subtítulo explicativo, una captura de la pantalla principal del sitio, la descripción global del contenido y una serie de etiquetas que pretenden resumir de manera significativa los contenidos disponibles en el mismo (y que tienen la intención de permitir buscar, en su caso, a través del documento, aquellas que puedan ser de interés para el lector). Por último, en el pie de página se obtiene el enlace directo al sitio web seleccionado. Download the booklet from http://www.mecd.gob.es/italia/dms/consejerias-exteriores/italia/publicaciones/Recursos_en_linea_2012---ITALIA-NIPO_030-12-299-3/Recursos_en_linea_2012%20-%20ITALIA-NIPO_030-12-299-3.pdf Read a review of this resource at http://teachinglearningspanish.blogspot.com/2013/01/a-large-collection-of-resources-in-one.html

Title: ELLs To Benefit From Texas' School Finance Ruling, Plaintiffs Say
Body: From http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/learning-the-language/2013/02/ells_to_benefit_from_texas_sch.html ELLs To Benefit From Texas' School Finance Ruling, Plaintiffs Say By Lesli A. Maxwell February 5, 2013 Civil rights advocates and educators say they are hopeful that a new state court ruling in the high-profile legal battle over education funding in Texas is the first step toward increasing resources for English-language learners. State funding for public schools—especially those serving large numbers of ELLs and poor children—has not kept pace with rising enrollment and increasing academic demands, a Texas state judge said on Monday.
