Title: ELLs and the Debate Over the No Child Left Behind Rewrite
Body: From http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/learning-the-language/2013/07/ells_and_the_debate_over_the_n.html ELLs and the Debate Over the No Child Left Behind Rewrite By Lesli A. Maxwell July 18, 2013 The full U.S. House of Representatives is edging ever so much closer to voting on a Republican-written overhaul of the Elementary Secondary and Education Act, and a large coalition of education and advocacy organizations are urging members of Congress to reject it on the grounds that English-language learners and Hispanic students would be irreparably harmed by its passage. The Hispanic Education Coalition, which brings together 20 civil rights and education advocacy groups such as the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund and the League of United Latin American Citizens, has sent a letter to all members of the House this morning warning members that a vote for the Student Success Act, sponsored by U.S. Rep. John Kline, a Minnesota Republican, would allow states to return to the past and "ignore the educational disparities of racial and ethnic minorities, ELs, economically disadvantaged students, and students with disabilities."

Title: Phonetically Intuitive English Project: Free Software Helps with Pronunciation
Body: Phonetically Intuitive English (PIE) is a free software project which provides a novel approach to teaching word pronunciation and meaning. The software can automatically add diacritics to English words in a learner's Chrome web browser to show pronunciation. As soon as the learner masters a one-page scheme, he would be able to acquire words' correct pronunciation as he browses the Web. The software also provides three modes (Full, Lite, Extra Lite) that progressively show fewer diacritics as the learner advances his English level. The diacritics alone only show pronunciation but not meaning. To address this need, the project also provides an associated free Chrome extension "PIE-Friendly Translator,” which can show an English word's meaning to an ESL learner in his native language, when he points his mouse at that English word. Besides transforming web pages to the diacritically marked form in real time, PIE can also be used to produce bilingually aligned, diacritically marked books intended for ESL learners. Such books tell a story in both English and the learner's native language, and the English part is marked with diacritics, so that the learner can acquire all three elements—spelling, pronunciation and meaning—as he reads the story. Get the free software directly from here (requires the Chrome browser): https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/pie-international/jafbohhbdpejlcfpkbbpkegglokegjid Or visit the project website for more information: https://sites.google.com/site/phoneticallyintuitiveenglish Yao, Z. Free and innovative software to teach ESL receives positive feedback. CALICO-L listserv (CALICO-L@LISTSERV.CALICO.ORG, 16 Jul 2013)
