We present the concept in many different contexts and connect our teaching back to it time and time again. Our mission is to provide ESL educators with access to thought-provoking, complex curricula and the strategies, tools, and lessons necessary to AMPLIFY their teaching.” Visit the blog at http://eslamplified.blogspot.com

Title: Project Is Now Citing Digital Materials for Less Commonly Taught Languages
Body: During the past two years, the UCLA Language Materials Project (LMP), supported by a grant from the International Research and Studies Program of the U.S. Department of Education, has surveyed digital teaching materials for 150 Less Commonly Taught Languages (LCTLs). Now, citations of those materials are being added to the LMP’s online bibliography, joining the 8000 citations of traditionally published textbooks, dictionaries, readers, grammars, and phrasebooks. About 100 descriptions of digital items are now on display, with another 400 in the pipeline. The digital materials include web courses, interactive lessons, script and vocabulary tutorials, online dictionaries, and course enrichment materials like puzzles and games. Some are distributed on DVDs or apps, but most are presented directly on the Web, either for free or by subscription. Explore the bibliography at http://www.lmp.ucla.edu/Default.aspx If you know of digital materials that we should cite, please tell the LMP about them. Their email is lmp at international dot ucla dot edu. [ILR-INFO] Digital Materials for Less Commonly Taught Languages. ILR-INFO Discussion Group (ILR-INFO@FSILIST2.FSI.STATE.GOV, 25 Feb 2013).

Title: Resources for Flipping Your Language Classroom
Body: The basic idea behind flipped instruction is to use technology so that lecture time is moved outside of the classroom, leaving more time for teacher-student interactions in the classroom. If you are considering flipping your language classroom, here are a few resources you may find useful. First, Flipping my Spanish Classroom is a Colorado high school Spanish teacher’s blog about her experience flipping her classroom. The blog main page is available at http://spanishflippedclass.blogspot.fr ; go to http://spanishflippedclass.blogspot.fr/p/flipped-class-helpful-documents.html for helpful documents. In the last weeks FLTEACH listserv users have been discussing flipped instruction. See what they’re writing about it, both positive and negative, at the FLTEACH archives: http://listserv.buffalo.edu/cgi-bin/wa?S2=FLTEACH&q=&s=flipped&f=&a=&b=

The theme of this year’s forum is ‘The Power of Language, The Language of Power.’ The organizers invite submissions examining any aspect of the intersection of language and the various structures of authority.
