Title: Article about Task-Based Learning and Project-Based Learning
Body: From http://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/articles TBL and PBL: Two learner-centred approaches by Sally Trowbridge July 23, 2013 Many newly qualified or inexperienced teachers tend to base their lesson planning on the traditional PPP approach (Presentation, Practice, Production) because it is reliable and it is a valid framework around which to base a series of classroom activities. It is also usually the best way of covering all the lexical areas and grammar points in the course book or syllabus. All good and well. The problem is that PPP serves the teacher’s needs but it is debatable whether or not it fulfills the needs of the learner. The language presented and practiced does not take into account the particular needs of each learner; the language content is almost always dictated by the coursebook and/or syllabus. For this reason, many teachers, having experimented with the PPP approach turn to more learner-centred approaches where the needs of the learner are central to the lesson content. Two such approaches are TBL (Task-Based Learning) and PBL (Project-Based Learning).

Title: Review of Language Dictionary Apps
Body: From http://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/18/technology/personaltech/finding-the-right-word-in-two-tongues.html?_r=0 Finding Just the Right Word in Two Tongues By KIT EATON July 17, 2013 I’ve learned two foreign languages so far, and it’s been satisfying and useful. But there was one unexpected difficulty: the dictionaries. A good bilingual dictionary can be expensive, and too big and heavy to carry around. And riffling through a dictionary takes too much time when you’re midconversation. Today the problems of bulk and page-riffling have largely been solved by bilingual smartphone dictionaries. They’re easy to use and searchable, and they weigh nothing.

Title: Article: The Power of Theater in the Dual-Immersion Classroom
Body: From http://www.ascd.org/publications/newsletters/education_update/jul13/vol55/num07/In_the_Classroom_with_Liliana_X._Aguas@_The_Power_of_Theater_in_the_Dual-Immersion_Classroom.aspx In the Classroom with Liliana X. Aguas: The Power of Theater in the Dual-Immersion Classroom by Liliana X. Aguas July 2013 As a dual-language immersion teacher, I constantly seek opportunities for my students to engage in rich language activities that promote academic and oral-language development. Dual-immersion programs are designed for native and nonnative English speaking students to become bilingual and biliterate individuals. Two years ago, I received a grant that allowed me to host a Berkeley Repertory Theatre teaching artist to lead a theater workshop for my students. Our teaching artist was fully bilingual and delivered the workshop in Spanish. Under her guidance, my students wrote a 12-act play in Spanish, and it was a great success! Students were no longer reluctant to speak Spanish and loved every aspect of the play: making props, developing original characters and story, writing the script, rehearsing, and performing—all of which were done in Spanish. With Berkeley Rep's teaching artist, my students were also able to enhance their literacy-analysis skills by exploring the plot, setting, and characters of stories—all in Spanish. Since witnessing the success of oral-language development with theater, I started to use readers theater in my classroom as well. If you want to jump right in, many scripts are readily available online.

Title: Book: Universal Grammar and the Second Language Classroom
Body: From http://www.springer.com/education+%26+language/book/978-94-007-6361-6 Universal Grammar and the Second Language Classroom Edited by Melinda Whong, Kook-Hee Gil, and Heather Marsden Published by Springer This book proposes that research into generative second language acquisition (GenSLA) can be applied to the language classroom. Assuming that Universal Grammar plays a role in second language development, it explores generalisations from GenSLA research. The book aims to build bridges between the fields of generative second language acquisition, applied linguistics, and language teaching; and it shows how GenSLA is poised to engage with researchers of second language learning outside the generative paradigm.
