Title: Common Core Standards in Spanish
Body: From http://commoncore-espanol.com The Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO), the California Department of Education (CDE) and the San Diego County Office of Education (SDCOE) proudly announce the Common Core Translation Project. Stakeholders have identified the need for the translation and linguistic augmentation of the California Common Core ELA/Literacy Standards and Math Standards to Spanish. This translated and linguistically augmented version of the CCSS is important because it establishes a guide for equitable assessment and curriculum development. An electronic version of the California Common Core Standards en Español is posted on this website for free public access and is available to individuals in California and across the country. At this time, the First Edition Drafts are available online.

Title: Blog Post: Video Games and Language Learning
Body: From http://www.freetech4teachers.com Felix Kronenberg is an as Assistant Professor for Modern Languages and Literatures and Director of the Language Learning Center at Rhodes College. In a recent guest post to the Free Technology for Teachers, he writes, “Getting our students to learn with such interest and deep motivation - a state of mind often referred to as “flow” (a term concept introduced by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi) - is a worthwhile but difficult goal. Video games are one way to create flow, and I wanted to briefly introduce a few good examples of appropriate games and some resources as well as links for further investigation in this guest blog post.” Read the full blog post at http://www.freetech4teachers.com/2013/02/video-games-and-language-learning.html#.USrMJBnpZp4 Dr. Kronenberg’s own blog, Language Technology Boot Camp, is available at http://www.languagetechnologybootcamp.org

Title: Book: Identifying and Recruiting Language Teachers
Body: From http://www.infoagepub.com/products/Identifying-and-Recruiting-Language-Teachers Identifying and Recruiting Language Teachers: A Research-Based Approach By Peter B. Swanson Published by Information Age Publishing In this book, Swanson discusses the Second/Foreign Language (S/FL) teacher shortage and presents an effective research-based model to increase the number of students enrolled in language teacher education programs. The book is situated in seven chapters beginning with a review of the literature surrounding the shortage of S/FL teachers and the factors associated with the shortage from a global perspective. In Chapter 2, Swanson lays out the theoretical framework that guides this research. In the next two chapters, he presents his recruiting method for adolescents enrolled in S/FL courses and in future educator groups. In each of these chapters he discusses a process to confront and overcome the most commonly cited reasons adolescents give for not choosing language teaching in order to foster interest in becoming a language teacher. In Chapter 5, he discusses the importance of inviting and hosting campus visits for high school students as well as the value of inviting students to professional meetings in order to learn more about teaching languages. In Chapter 6, he describes the process to recruit adults into a career as a language teacher. In the final chapter, Swanson offers some concluding thoughts which tie the book together as well as discussing the induction of S/FL teachers into the profession from the moment they enter teacher preparation programs. This book is suited for faculty members interested in building and sustaining enrollment in S/FL teacher education programs. The methods and strategies are easily modified for increasing teacher candidate enrollment in other content areas.

Title: Call for Papers: Task-based Language Teaching and Learning
Body: From http://linguistlist.org/issues/24/24-466.html The Language Learning Journal is planning a special issue: Task-based language teaching and learning. Tasks are now widely used in language classrooms around the world under various guises. The last two decades have witnessed a surge of interest in research on tasks. However, there have been a number of criticisms leveled against task-based language teaching and learning (TBLT/L). For example, it has been claimed that since tasks are inherently meaning-centered and outcome-oriented they do not foster language learning and may induce task performers to simply 'get the job done' which might give rise to the production of impoverished language. A review of the relevant literature reveals that, despite the wealth of research in this area, such criticisms have not yet been adequately addressed and many unanswered questions remain regarding the notion of task and its utility in language classrooms - specifically, where a language other than English is taught. There is also a dearth of research on whether and how different kinds of task-based implementation variables (e.g. planning time) and task design features (e.g. task structure and task complexity) interact with individual difference factors. This special issue of The Language Learning Journal will therefore attempt to address the current research lacunae in TBLT/L. Call Deadline: 31-Oct-2013 View the full call for papers at http://linguistlist.org/issues/24/24-466.html
