Title: Article: Student Assessment and Immersion Program Evaluation
Body: From http://asiasociety.org/education/chinese-language-initiatives/student-assessment-and-immersion-program-evaluation Student Assessment and Immersion Program Evaluation By Ann Tollefson, with Michael Bacon, Kyle Ennis, Carl Falsgraf, and Nancy Rhodes Parents enroll their children in language immersion programs in order to give them the gift of knowing another language. They also expect that their children will do as well or better in learning the regular curriculum in the immersion language as will children who are learning that content in English. As a result, there are two fundamental strands of student assessment in elementary immersion programs: assessment of student learning in various subjects taught in the language, (e.g., math and reading); and assessment of the student’s proficiency in the immersion language. Both are used to evaluate individual student progress, to report to parents and the general community, and to support continual program improvement.

Title: Book: Creativity and Innovation in Language Education
Body: From http://www.peterlang.com/index.cfm?event=cmp.ccc.seitenstruktur.detailseiten&seitentyp=produkt&pk=63751&concordeid=431080 Creativity and Innovation in Language Education Edited by Carmen Argondizzo Published by Peter Lang International Academic Publishers Summary: This volume sheds light on Creativity and Innovation in Language Education as key issues for the development of personal, professional and social competences and aims at highlighting the relevance of such concepts which education at any level, in any sector and at any time should continuously stimulate and enhance. The prefaces and the interrelated sections explore the concept of creativity linked with issues such as cultures and language use, language teaching, business settings, technology. This is carried out following theoretical and practical perspectives which integrate with each other. The volume is published in a historical moment in Europe in which the European Commission is celebrating the 10th Anniversary of the Barcelona Agreement (2002-2012), which emphasized the importance of learning two languages in addition to the mother tongue. The volume reflects on strategies for achieving these objectives, while underlining the belief that creativity is a skill which needs to be identified, stimulated and nurtured for the benefit of the entire society.

Title: Book: Current Multilingualism: A New Linguistic Dispensation
Body: From http://www.degruyter.com/view/product/204166?format=G Current Multilingualism: A New Linguistic Dispensation Edited by David Singleton, Joshua A. Fishman, Larissa Aronin, and Muiris Ó Laoire Published by de Gruyter Description: This volume approaches contemporary multilingualism as a new linguistic dispensation, in urgent need of research-led, reflective scrutiny. The book addresses the emergent global and local patterns of multilingual use and acquisition across the world and explores the major trends that characterize today's multilingualism. It is divided into three parts on the basis of the broad themes: education (including multilingual learning in its general, theoretical aspects), sociolinguistic dimensions and language policy. The book's fifteen chapters, written by renowned international experts, discuss a range of issues relating to the quintessential and unique properties of multilingual situations – issues relevant to the challenges faced in different ways by researcher and practitioners alike. All the contributions share a focus on currently operative patterns of interaction between contexts, events and processes.

Title: 2013 UCLA Indonesian Studies Conference
Body: From http://www.international.ucla.edu/cseas/events/showevent.asp?eventid=9891 Critical Histories of Activism: Indonesia’s New Order and its Legacies 2013 UCLA Indonesian Studies Conference Sunday, April 14, 2013 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM 314 Royce Hall UCLA Campus This conference is a reassessment of the emergence or resurgence of new forms of activism and protest during the New Order period in Indonesia. The New Order began with the mass killing of members of the communist party and was marked by 30 years of Soeharto's repressive policies. Compradors and cronies thrived; critics were crushed. But beneath the state's violence and repressive actions towards large segments of the population, political and cultural activists developed techniques of action and expression that survived policing or thrived in its constant presence. Some of these modes of action and activism lasted beyond the fall of Suharto but for others the new political era required different critical tactics. Nevertheless, many of the new communities and institutional forms born under the New Order live on in its wake. Fourteen participants will address the histories of cultural and political movements and organizations as they developed in the New Order, and explore the legacies of the New Order in contemporary Indonesian movements.
