Title: Recent National Public Radio Feature on Musician Jose-Luis Orozco
Body: From http://www.npr.org Jose-Luis Orozco: Capturing Kids' Attention In Two Languages by Mandalit del Barco June 07, 2013 For the past 42 years, José-Luis Orozco has been entertaining children with songs he sings in English and Spanish. He's passionate about teaching children to be bilingual through music, and he's also written books for kids. Orozco manages the near-impossible: getting hundreds of small children to pay attention. He entertains them the old-fashioned way — alone, with his guitar, asking them to sing, dance and clap along, and pretend to make hot chocolate with their hands. The kids count and do the ABCs and name the months of the year. They dance the Macarena and imitate farm animals.

Title: L.A. Unified Improves English-Learner Outcomes, Superintendent Says
Body: From http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/learning-the-language/2013/06/la_unified_improves_english-le.html L.A. Unified Improves English-Learner Outcomes, Superintendent Says By Lesli A. Maxwell June 10, 2013 English-learners in Los Angeles Unified posted important academic gains in 2012-13 that Superintendent John Deasy said point to an upward trajectory for a huge group of students that have had a history of languishing in the nation's second largest school system. In a recent memo written to staff members that was published at LA School Report, Deasy wrote that the district's English-learners increased their proficiency rates on one of the district's English/language arts periodic assessments at a faster clip than all students. As a group, elementary ELLs posted a 13-point gain in ELA proficiency rates, up to 38 percent this year over 25 percent last year, according to the memo.

Title: Book: Multilingualism and Language Diversity in Urban Areas
Body: From http://benjamins.com/#catalog/books/hsld.1/main Multilingualism and Language Diversity in Urban Areas: Acquisition, identities, space, education Edited by Peter Siemund, Ingrid Gogolin, Monika Edith Schulz and Julia Davydova Published by the John Benjamins Publishing Company Description: This state-of-the-art volume provides an interdisciplinary overview of current topics and research foci in the areas of linguistic diversity and migration-induced multilingualism and aims to lay the foundations for interdisciplinary work and the development of a common methodological framework for the field. Linguistic diversity and migration-induced multilingualism are complex, mufti-faceted phenomena that need to be studied from different, complementary perspectives. The volume comprises a total of fourteen contributions from linguistic, educationist, and urban sociological perspectives and highlights the areas of language acquisition, contact and change, multilingual identities, urban spaces, and education. Linguistic diversity can be framed as a result of current processes of migration and globalization. As such the topic of the present volume addresses both a general audience interested in migration and globalization on a more general level, and a more specialized audience interested in the linguistic repercussions of these large-scale societal developments.
