Title: States Backslide in Achievement for English-Learners, Report Finds
Body: From http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/learning-the-language/2013/09/states_backslide_in_achievemen.html States Backslide in Achievement for English-Learners, Report Finds By Lesli A. Maxwell September 24, 2013 Just nine states met all of their federal goals for English-language learners in making progress in learning the language and reaching academic targets in math and reading in the two school years spanning 2008-10, according to a recently released report from the U.S. Department of Education. That's a drop from 11 states that met all their goals for ELLs in the 2007-08 school year, and an even bigger slide backward from 2006-07 when 17 states (a record high) reached all three academic benchmarks they set for English-learners, which include progress in learning English, attainment of fluency, and demonstration of proficiency on state content tests in reading and math.

Title: Book: Language Learning Motivation in Japan
Body: From http://www.multilingual-matters.com/display.asp?isb=9781783090495 Language Learning Motivation in Japan By Matthew T. Apple, Dexter Da Silva, and Terry Fellner Published by Multilingual Matters This book synthesizes current theory and research on L2 motivation in the EFL Japanese context carried out by internationally recognized researchers and upcoming researcher-educators working in various educational contexts in Japan. Topics covered include the issues of cultural identity, demotivation, language communities, positive psychology, possible L2 selves and internationalization within a key EFL context. The studies in the book utilize a wide variety of research methodologies aiming to narrow the gap between theory and practice and examine L2 motivation in primary, secondary and tertiary education. This volume will be of interest to research/teacher professionals who are currently engaged in active ESL/EFL practice, EFL educators, researchers, and teacher-trainers both inside and outside Japan, who are interested in research on L2 motivation in general and within the Japanese context in particular, as well as graduate and postgraduate researchers.
