Title: Arizona State School Board To Wade into English-immersion Program Fight
Body: From http://cronkitenewsonline.com/2013/05/state-school-board-to-wade-into-english-immersion-program-fight State school board to wade into English-immersion program fight By Connor Radnovich May 3, 2013 Vince Yanez understands what the Arizona Board of Education could be getting in to this year when it begins a “systematic review” of the state’s English Language Learner program. “Since the models had been created, there have been very strong opinions on both sides,” said Yanez, the board’s executive director. “The models” he is referring to are Structured English Immersion, a state-mandated program that puts non-English-speaking students into English class for four hours a day. “The opinions” include supporters who say the program quickly moves students into mainstream classes and critics who say it does not. The critics say that segregating children into language-only classes denies those students hours of class time in other subjects every day. Arizona is the only state that mandates a four-hour block of English for all non-English-speaking students, regardless of their age or proficiency.

Title: Article: English Learners and 21st-Century Literacy
Body: From http://www.edutopia.org/blog/english-learners-twenty-first-century-learning English Learners and 21st-Century Literacy Anne OBrien April 30, 2013 One challenge: better educating students who speak English as a second language. One opportunity: leveraging the strengths that these students offer to improve schools for all. And research by Dr. Mary Amanda "Mandy" Stewart, who recently completed a dissertation that highlights the 21st-century skills and cultural resources of immigrant youth, provides guidance on how to do both. In her dissertation, which won PDK International's 2012-2013 Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation Award, Stewart examined the life and literacy of four 17- to 20-year-old students from Mexico, El Salvador, and Guatemala. In doing so, she uncovered multiple ways in which these students are leveraging their out-of-school competencies to improve their English and develop and demonstrate 21st-century skills.

Title: English-Learners Need More Philanthropic Investment, Report Says
Body: From http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/learning-the-language/2013/05/english-learners_need_more_philanthropic_investment.html English-Learners Need More Philanthropic Investment, Report Says By Lesli A. Maxwell May 2, 2013 English-learners are the fastest-growing subgroup of students in public schools and will likely be so for the next decade, but education philanthropy dollars targeted toward the unique needs of these students haven't kept pace, a new report says. The Portland, Ore.-based Grantmakers for Education, a membership organization for public and private education-related philanthropies, has just published an analysis of the current state of grantmaking meant to improve educational outcomes for English-learners. The main finding: The level of investment in ELLs is "relatively small" and "small in comparison to the magnitude of this population and the depth of educational need.

Title: Book: Issues in Second Language Teaching
Body: From https://www.equinoxpub.com/equinox/books/showbook.asp?bkid=468 Issues in Second Language Teaching By Alessandro G. Benati Published by Equinox Publishing Description: Issues in Second Language Teaching is a textbook written to help both novice and more experienced teachers reflect on topics related to second language learning and language teaching. It provides readers with a better understanding of the interface between second language learning theory and research and language teaching practices. The main objective of this book is to develop and enhance theoretical and practical understanding of how teachers should approach the way they teach languages in the classroom. Readers are asked to reflect on the implications of second language learning research and theory on language teaching by providing an analysis of how the principles derived from research can be applied in the language classroom when it comes to issues such as teaching grammar, correcting errors, providing ‘good’ input, developing output activities and encouraging interaction between learners. This book does not support a particular methodology for language teaching, focusing instead on specific themes in relation to language teaching.

Body: From http://www.routledge.com/books/details/9780415524957 Language Online: Investigating Digital Texts and Practices By David Barton and Carmen Lee Published by Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group Description: In Language Online, David Barton and Carmen Lee investigate the impact of the online world on the study of language. The effects of language use in the digital world can be seen in every aspect of language study, and new ways of researching the field are needed. In this book the authors look at language online from a variety of perspectives, providing a solid theoretical grounding, an outline of key concepts, and practical guidance on doing research. Chapters cover topical issues including the relation between online language and multilingualism, identity, education and multimodality, then conclude by looking at how to carry out research into online language use. Throughout the book many examples are given, from a variety of digital platforms, and a number of different languages, including Chinese and English. Written in a clear and accessible style, this is a vital read for anyone new to studying online language and an essential textbook for undergraduates and postgraduates working in the areas of new media, literacy and multimodality within language and linguistics courses.

Title: Book: The Affective Dimension in Second Language Acquisition
Body: From http://www.multilingual-matters.com/display.asp?isb=9781847699688 The Affective Dimension in Second Language Acquisition By Danuta Gabry?-Barker and Joanna Bielska Published by Multilingual Matters Summary: Affectivity is at the core of everything we do in life. Thus, its development is also central to learning/acquisition and is important for educational contexts. The studies presented in this volume consider the different contexts of language learning and examine different types of participants in this process. Most of them look at a formal instruction context, while others look beyond the classroom and even report on the author's own affectivity and its involvement in learning experiences. Affectivity is discussed here in relation to learners but also to teachers in their own professional contexts of teaching foreign languages. In the majority of cases, affectivity is explored in the case of bilinguals, but there are also articles which focus on multilingual language users and their affectivity as an evolving factor.
