Title: Common Core and English-Learners: Teaching Math and Language
Body: From http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/learning-the-language/2013/10/common_core_and_english-learne.html Common Core and English-Learners: Teaching Math and Language By Lesli A. Maxwell October 3, 2013 The Understanding Language team at Stanford University has just released its first major collection of common core instructional resources in math meant for teachers who work with English-language learners. A team of experts, including Judit Moschkovich, a professor of mathematics education at the University of California, Santa Cruz, used or adapted tasks from two series of curricula: Inside Mathematics and the Mathematics Assessment Project. Each lesson in the package includes detailed notes on how teachers can use them in classrooms with English-learners. The aim behind these materials is to help teachers see how math tasks rooted in the common core can be used to support both math learning and language development. The four lessons cover elementary, middle, and high school math.

Title: This Is Food Issues Month - Share a Resource or Lesson
Body: From http://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/top-stories/iatefl-global-issues-sig-food-issues-month Throughout October 2013, the IATEFL Global Issues SIG are hosting Food Issues Month! This event is an online, asynchronous event with the aim of “Teaching food with a conscience.” The idea behind this month is to raise awareness in your classes and your schools about an issue relating to food. The Global Issues SIG deliberately chose a broad topic to allow people flexibility of choice. As long as it’s about food and issues (as opposed to, say, a lesson about food in different cultures or favorite foods or food idioms) they are interested. The Global Issues SIG are inviting teachers and classes around the world to share their ideas, lesson plans, resources and creativity for a food lesson with a difference. Share your ideas, lessons, and resources with other teachers at http://gisig.iatefl.org/community/how-you-can-participate-in-gisigs-food-issues-month

Title: Game Idea: “Box of Lies”
Body: From http://larryferlazzo.edublogs.org Larry Ferlazzo describes a game that he saw Jimmy Fallon play with Tina Fey on television. There are several boxes, each with mystery object(s) inside. One student chooses a box, sees what is inside, and then either describes the contents to another student, or lies and makes up something else. The other student guesses if the first student is telling the truth, or lying. See Mr. Ferlazzo’s description at http://larryferlazzo.edublogs.org/2013/09/27/jimmy-fallon-comes-up-with-a-great-game-for-english-language-learners

The LCA maintains a dedicated website and initiates a bi-yearly conference. You can access the LCA website at the following URL: http://www.learnercorpusassociation.org Registered members will have access to the members-only sections of the website which will contain a range of resources, including shared corpora, publications and corpus tools and a regularly updated searchable learner corpus bibliography. They will also be able to take part in forums focused on a range of topics (learner corpus design, annotation, methodology, applications, etc.) and benefit from discounts, notably from publishers, negotiated by the LCA. Registration is now open at http://www.learnercorpusassociation.org/join . Registered members will be able to take part in the election of the Executive Board due to take place in early December. If you want to help us shape the association and contribute to its success, don't hesitate to join.

Title: Book: Solutions for the Assessment of Bilinguals
Body: From http://www.multilingual-matters.com/display.asp?isb=9781783090136 Solutions for the Assessment of Bilinguals By Virginia C. Mueller Gathercole Published by Multilingual Matters Solutions for the Assessment of Bilinguals presents innovative solutions for the evaluation of language abilities and proficiency in multilingual speakers – and by extension, the evaluation of their cognitive and academic abilities. This volume brings together researchers working in a variety of bilingual settings to discuss critical matters central to the assessment of bilingual children and adults. The studies include typically developing bilingual children, bilingual children who may be at risk for language impairments, bilingual and multilingual children and adults found in classrooms, and second-language learners in childhood and adulthood. The contributions propose a variety of ways of assessing performance and abilities in the face of the multiple issues that complicate the best interpretation of test performance.
