Title: Article: Immersion Curriculum and Literacy
Body: From http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/global_learning/2013/10/immersion_curriculum_and_literacy.html Immersion Curriculum and Literacy by Myriam Met October 15, 2013 Immersion instruction differs from other types of language learning because students are learning multiple subjects in the target language. In a Chinese immersion setting, students will learn content through Chinese, and learn Chinese as they learn content. Balancing these two primary goals of immersion is an important consideration when planning, implementing, and growing an immersion program. Two sets of curricula will drive what happens in classrooms each day: subject matter (content) curricula and the Chinese language and literacy curriculum. In both cases, decisions about what students should achieve derive from national and/or state standards.

Title: Article: Immersion Teaching: Successful Approaches
Body: From http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/global_learning/2013/10/immersion_teaching_successful_approaches.html Immersion Teaching: Successful Approaches by Chris Livaccari October 17, 2013 Immersion teachers must first clearly understand what content must be taught at each grade level. They need to be familiar with "comprehensible input," which emphasizes that students should be exposed to new words and patterns in contexts that facilitate comprehension and assimilation. Teachers should consistently weave together familiar language with new words and information, so that students continually develop their language proficiency. In this way, language acquisition in an immersion program closely mimics the natural learning curve for a first language, in which a child is constantly prompted to assimilate new language and meaning from unfamiliar words and expressions. Immersion also includes more elements of discovery- and inquiry-based learning than do other kinds of instructional practices. Students must constantly and consistently decipher inferences and context clues. Read on for the author’s top five immersion teaching skills: http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/global_learning/2013/10/immersion_teaching_successful_approaches.html

Title: Book: Social Networking for Language Education
Body: From http://www.palgrave.com/products/title.aspx?pid=581588 Social Networking for Language Education Edited by Marie-Noëlle Lamy and Katerina Zourou Published by Palgrave Macmillan Social media are applications that have a networking dimension at the heart of their use. They attract language learners, teachers and providers for different reasons, although they are a controversial issue in language education as we lack evidence whether and how they promote language learning. This book studies the impact of networking with the social media on language learning, through a collection of chapters offering theoretical perspectives and empirical studies of learner experiences in a wide range of networking settings, illustrating through a variety of teaching as well as research methodologies. Through focusing on communities and socialization, together the editors and contributors help to identify priority issues (such as identity and community-building) that need attention if today's social media culture is to work to the benefit of language learners.

Title: Book: Researching Dyslexia in Multilingual Settings
Body: From http://www.multilingual-matters.com/display.asp?isb=9781783090648 Researching Dyslexia in Multilingual Settings: Diverse Perspectives By Deirdre Martin Published by Multilingual Matters This volume draws together current research on dyslexia and literacy in multilingual settings across disciplines and methodologies. The contributors, all internationally recognized in the field, address developmental and acquired literacy difficulties and dyslexia in a range of language contexts including EAL/EFL. The book uses theories and analytical frameworks of a critical nature to reveal prejudicial social practices, and suggests future research directions towards a critical re-consideration of current understandings of dyslexia in multilingual settings, with a view to foregrounding the potential for interdisciplinarity. The book also suggests ways forward for evidence-informed practice, and it will be a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners and students alike.

Title: Call for Book Chapters: Current Developments in English for Academic and Specific Purposes
Body: From http://linguistlist.org/issues/24/24-4173.html The International Association of Teachers of English as a Foreign Language (IATEFL) English for Specific Purposes (ESP) Special Interest Group (SIG) invites you to contribute a chapter to its fourth edited volume entitled 'Current Developments in English for Academic and Specific Purposes: Local Innovations and Global Perspectives' (working title). The book will be sponsored by Garnet Education who have published the first three edited volumes. This volume aims to feature articles that address ESP or English for Academic Purposes (EAP) issues innovatively and have implications for EAP and ESP practitioners and researchers globally. In the field of English language teaching, the field of ESP (including EAP) is possibly the most innovative and rooted in local contexts. Despite its ostensibly localized practices, ESP has global implications. However, such innovative practices are not widely represented in the published ESP literature for ESP and EAP practitioners. This volume is expected to address these lacunae. You are requested to submit an outline (up to 500 words) for a chapter by 16 December 2013.
