Title: Classroom Display Resources and Ideas
Body: Are you looking for bulletin board and classroom decoration ideas? Here are some from other teachers: --- Here are some French (http://www.sunderlandschools.org/mfl-sunderland/resources%20fr%20dis.htm ) and Spanish (http://www.sunderlandschools.org/mfl-sunderland/resources%20sp%20dis.htm ) display resources from MFL Sunderland. --- Here are some ideas from the Creative Language Class blog: http://creativelanguageclass.wordpress.com/category/class-décor --- These two pages from eHow are for Spanish bulletin boards, but the ideas could be used with any language: http://www.ehow.com/list_6569631_spanish-bulletin-board-ideas.html and http://www.ehow.com/list_6311559_spanish-classroom-bulletin-board-ideas.html --- Here is a collection of bulletin board and classroom decorations from SpanishPlans.org: http://spanishplans.org/category/bulletin-boards --- Here is a realia-based idea from middle school Spanish teacher Maris Hawkins: http://marishawkins.wordpress.com/2013/08/29/bulletin-boards --- Get some more ideas from teacher Rachel Bailey’s Pinterest board: http://pinterest.com/baileyr2/classroom-decor-and-organization --- Here is a suggestion for integrating an ongoing cognate awareness activity with a bulletin board: I do something … on a weekly basis. Students find Spanish text anywhere in our community. They then highlight words they know (green), words that look like cognates (yellow), and words they do not know (orange). They also look up three of the words they do not know and add them to a personal dictionary. The bulletin board part comes in with my first year high school class. As an entry task, they write cognate pairs on slips of colored paper and we add them to a wall where I have a paper fountain labeled "Fuente de cognados." Eventually we stop adding to the fountain, but they keep identifying and color-coding the three groups of words in local text for the rest of the year. Herring, S. Re: [FLTEACH] Spanish bulletin board ideas??? FLTEACH listserv (FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU, 10 Aug 2012). --- Latin teacher Rose Williams suggests the following: At http://www.promotelatin.org you can click "more to explore" then "downloadable materials" to find lots of free posters. I like to make a poster with the outline of a tree on whose trunk I place a Latin word such as "porto." I either attach leaves with derivatives of porto written on them or let the students make the leaves themselves. Various other trees, for forms of verbs or history timelines etc. are good. Some touchable items such as small classical statues, cameos, little bas reliefs, a piece of raw marble, Roman coins, and small vases of Roman style glass are good to use as decorations and conversation pieces. Roman paper dolls are available on several websites and make good displays. Rose Williams. Re: [Latinteach] tips on decorating a Latin classroom. Latinteach listserv (latinteach@nxport.com, 15 Aug 2012). Stay tuned next week for more bulletin board and classroom decoration ideas.

Title: Book: Innovative Research and Practices in Second Language Acquisition and Bilingualism
Body: From http://benjamins.com/#catalog/books/lllt.38/main Innovative Research and Practices in Second Language Acquisition and Bilingualism Edited by John W. Schwieter Published by John Benjamins Publishing Company This volume brings together theoretical perspectives and empirical studies in second language (L2) acquisition and bilingualism and discusses their implications for L2 pedagogy. The book is organized into three sections that focus on prominent linguistic and cognitive theories and together provide a compelling set of state-of-the-art works. Part I consists of studies that give rise to innovative applications for second language teaching and learning and Part II discusses how findings from cognitive research can inform practices for L2 teaching and learning. Following these two sections, Part III provides a summative commentary of the theories explored in the volume along with suggestions for future research directions. The book is intended to act as a valuable reference for scholars, applied linguists, specialists in pedagogy, language educators, and anyone wishing to gain an overview of current issues in SLA and bilingualism.

Title: Book: The Development of the Grammatical System in Early Second Language Acquisition
Body: From http://benjamins.com/#catalog/books/palart.3/main The Development of the Grammatical System in Early Second Language Acquisition: The Multiple Constraints Hypothesis By Anke Lenzing Published by the John Benjamins Publishing Company The Development of the Grammatical System in Early Second Language Acquisition focuses on the acquisition process of early L2 learners. It is based on the following key hypothesis: the initial mental grammatical system of L2 learners is constrained semantically, syntactically and mnemonically. This hypothesis is formalized as the Multiple Constraints Hypothesis. The empirical test of the Multiple Constraints Hypothesis is based on a large database including cross-sectional and longitudinal data from square-one ESL beginners. The study demonstrates that the postulated constraints are relaxed successively as learning progresses. The book is intended for postgraduate students as well as SLA researchers.
