Title: Article: Supporting Schools to Improve the Educational Outcomes of Emergent Bilinguals
Body: From http://www.huffingtonpost.com/vanessa-perez/supporting-schools-to-imp_b_3104993.html Supporting Schools to Improve the Educational Outcomes of Emergent Bilinguals by Vanessa Perez with Laura Ascenzi-Moreno April 18, 2013 There is a shift across all levels of bilingual education -- state-wide, district-wide and school-wide -- to view the home language as vital for the academic development of bilingual students. The CUNY-NYSIEB project is one force that supports this shift from seeing bilingualism as a barrier to academic achievement to using students' bilingualism as the essential element in their academic success. The primary focus of the CUNY-NYSIEB project is to improve the educational outcomes for emergent bilinguals -- students who are in the process of learning one or more languages. The term emergent bilinguals places bilingualism at the center and therefore, is preferred over the more widely used term English Language Learners, which highlights students' lack of proficiency. The CUNY-NYSIEB stance is that for schools to be successful at meeting the needs of emergent bilingual students they must develop ecologies of bilingualism that build the home language practices of their students.

Title: A Closer Look at ELL Assessment Group Led by Oregon
Body: From http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/learning-the-language/2013/04/a_closer_look_at_ell_assessmen.html A Closer Look at ELL Assessment Group Led by Oregon By Lesli A. Maxwell April 26, 2013 ELPA 21—or the English Language Proficiency Assessment for the 21st Century consortium—started as a group of dozen states that landed a $6.3 million grant last fall from the U.S. Department of Education to develop the new test. It is one of two groups of states creating a new assessment to measure the progress of English-learners. Oregon is the lead state in the consortium. Thanks to the folks at the K-12 Center at Educational Testing Service, we now have the best snapshot to date of what the group of states known as ELPA 21 have planned for developing a new English-language proficiency test that will be directly connected to the language demands in the Common Core State Standards. The ETS brief offers ELPA 21's timeline for test development, a description of its governance and accountability, and a graphic representation of the components of the assessment system the group is designing.

Title: Activity Idea: Talking about Movies
Body: From http://creativelanguageclass.wordpress.com When your students watch a movie, what else do they do? Here’s what Megan of the Creative Language Class blog says: “[T]he movie itself isn’t the activity. I spend a week watching “In the time of the butterflies” and the class got tons of practice between little bits of movie. After the movie was finished, I wanted my students to retell Minerva’s story. “I have found that if I give students a task I think they can handle WITHOUT modeling it for them, I end up with much too complicated language that was clearly NOT done by my students. “So here’s how I break it down and teach some simple structure. My idea is to start simple and then build on it. I didn’t want to do their job for them so we learned how to tell a movie’s story by talking about OTHER movies.” Read on to see how she did it: http://creativelanguageclass.wordpress.com/2013/04/24/tell-me-about-it

Title: Book: Bringing Our Languages Home: Language Revitalization for Families
Body: From https://heydaybooks.com/book/bringing-our-languages-home Bringing Our Languages Home: Language Revitalization for Families Edited by Leanne Hinton Published by Heyday Description: Throughout the world individuals in the intimacy of their homes innovate, improvise, and struggle daily to pass on endangered languages to their children. Elaina Albers of Northern California holds a tape recorder up to her womb so her baby can hear old songs in Karuk. The Baldwin family of Montana put labels all over their house marked with the Miami words for common objects and activities, to keep the vocabulary present and fresh. In Massachusetts, at the birth of their first daughter, Jesse Little Doe Baird and her husband convince the obstetrician and nurses to remain silent so that the first words their baby hears in this world are Wampanoag. Thirteen autobiographical accounts of language revitalization, ranging from Irish Gaelic to Mohawk, Kawaiisu to Māori, are brought together by Leanne Hinton, professor emerita of linguistics at UC Berkeley, who for decades has been leading efforts to preserve the rich linguistic heritage of the world. Those seeking to save their language will find unique instruction in these pages; everyone who admires the human spirit will find abundant inspiration.
