Title: Book: Teaching Materials and the Roles of EFL/ESL Teachers
Body: From http://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/teaching-materials-and-the-roles-of-eflesl-teachers-9781441143693 Teaching Materials and the Roles of EFL/ESL Teachers: Practice and Theory By Ian McGrath Published by Bloomsbury Publishing Teaching Materials and the Roles of EFL/ESL Teachers is published amidst a decade long increase in academic publications and training courses concerned with the evaluation and design of English language teaching materials. It is timely to consider what effect the advice on offer has had on teachers’ practice. Are teachers evaluating materials carefully, using textbooks in the ways expected by textbook writers, developing their own materials, and mediating between materials and learners in the ways advised in the professional literature? The book explores these issues from a variety of perspectives. The views of publishers/textbook writers, those contributing to the professional literature, and teacher educators are synthesized to establish a ‘theory’ of how teachers can best fulfill their roles vis-à-vis materials and learners. This is then compared with ‘practice’, as represented by published accounts of teachers’ actual practices and learners’ perspectives. The conclusion reached is that teacher education in materials evaluation and design is essential and suggestions are offered as to the form this might take. The book is intended particularly for MA students and teacher educators concerned with materials evaluation and design, but is of interest to all those concerned with the publication and use of English language teaching materials.

Title: Book: The Developmental Dimension in Instructed Second Language Learning
Body: From http://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/the-developmental-dimension-in-instructed-second-language-learning-9781441193728 The Developmental Dimension in Instructed Second Language Learning: The L2 Acquisition of Object Pronouns in Spanish By Paul Malovrh and James F. Lee Published by Bloomsbury Publishing This work identifies developmental stages in the acquisition of object pronouns by instructed second language learners of Spanish. It examines learners ranging from beginner to advanced, where the most advanced are themselves teachers of Spanish language courses. Experience abroad is an important variable in the data. The book explores language production from a functionalist perspective, examining form-to-function and function-to-form mappings, and explores L2processing within the framework of the model of input processing. It provides insights into related developments in the production of appropriate morphology in clitic pronouns, their placement in OV contexts, and how they are processed as input. Detailed analysis reveals related development between the production, placement, and processing of clitic pronouns in terms of specific linguistic features, and, along with a concept-oriented analysis of language production, the authors propose stages of interlanguage development. Finally, the extent to which classroom learning affects interlanguage development is explored; formal instruction and experience abroad are examined, as well as the specific instruction on object pronouns and overall exposure to instruction.

Title: Call for Papers: International Congress for Medieval Studies
Body: From http://apaclassics.org/index.php/apa_blog/apa_blog_entry/cfp_societas_ovidiana_at_kalamazoo The Societas Ovidiana is soliciting abstracts for papers to be presented at the 49th International Congress for Medieval Studies at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, MI from May 8-11, 2014. This year the organizers are sponsoring two sessions which focus on specific spaces of Ovidian reception in order to explore the broad range of Ovid’s influence during the medieval centuries. The two spaces chosen to visit are the medieval classroom and the medieval courts. The first panel, “Ovid in the Classroom,” invites an investigation into the teaching practices of medieval schools, both primary and advanced. The material transmission of Ovid’s corpus, specifically the traditions of glosses and commentaries found in both manuscripts and print, allow us insight into the diversity of classroom instruction throughout the Middle Ages. These differences, however, occur not only at the grammatical, logical or rhetorical level but can also point to divergent constructions of identity, gender and society. How was Ovid taught? The second panel, “Ovid in the Courts,” considers the influence both on courtiers themselves and on those who aspired to courtly rank. Ovid's amatory works were distilled into models of courtly love, and his epic tales were adapted into chivalric chansons. Vernacular receptions of Ovid’s works proliferated throughout the late Medieval period, and these translations extend beyond mere reproduction from one language to another to furnish us with rich sources for studies of cross-cultural and cross-generic literary metamorphoses. How was Ovid performed? Please send proposals of 300-500 words with a working title and department affiliation by September 15, 2013.
