Title: Social Studies Curriculum for Grades 6-12: Social Justice & Latinos in NYC
Body: From http://gothamschools.org/2013/10/23/to-teach-latino-history-luperon-high-school-turns-to-el-diario This curriculum, which is based in El Diario/La Prensa articles, was created in partnership with a graduate course on multicultural education at the City College of New York. The unit is intended for students of various ethnic and linguistic backgrounds. The unit plan is made up of nine lessons, many of which take 2-5 periods to complete. The unit begins with an introduction of Latinos in the United States and their representation across media outlets. The unit then moves into areas of social justice that include (im)migration, housing, workers rights, and ethnic parades, to name a few. The culminating activity is an electronic and multilingual newspaper that the class creates around current social justice issues. The curriculum can be taught fully or partially. The first and last lessons are essential, but the seven lessons on different topics can be chosen based on connection to the course topic and time. Those lessons can stand alone, but also provide opportunities to build on each other. The unit plan and most accompanying documents are in English, whereas the El Diario/La Prensa articles - which serve as the foundation for each lesson - are in Spanish, with English-language summaries. The curriculum is available at http://centenario.eldiariony.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/GuiaEducadores2013.pdf Read an article about the development and use of this curriculum at http://gothamschools.org/2013/10/23/to-teach-latino-history-luperon-high-school-turns-to-el-diario

Title: Book: Reflective Practice in ESL Teacher Development Groups
Body: From http://www.palgrave.com/products/title.aspx?pid=491429 Reflective Practice in ESL Teacher Development Groups: From Practices to Principles By Thomas S.C. Farrell Published by Palgrave Macmillan Reflective Practice in ESL Teacher Development Groups discusses the concept of reflective practice in ESL teachers using data from a 3-year collaborative partnership in which three ESL teachers in Canada explored their professional development through reflective practice. The process involved regular group discussions, teacher journal writing, classroom observations and pre and post-interviews of each teacher. This fresh bottom-up approach to professional development will enhance knowledge on what counts for professional development of ESL teachers and can promote ESL teacher-initiated professional development that is more focused towards classroom realities, based on knowledge that is co-constructed through engagement with experience, and systematic reflections, and is grounded in real teaching situations.

Title: Book: Silence in the Second Language Classroom
Body: From http://www.palgrave.com/products/title.aspx?pid=652455 Silence in the Second Language Classroom By Jim King Published by Palgrave Macmillan Why are second language learners in Japan's universities so silent? Using an innovative mixed-methods research approach, Jim King investigates the perplexing but intriguing phenomenon of classroom silence. With its exciting new conceptual framework of Dynamic Systems Theory, Silence in the Second Language Classroom offers a unique insight into the true complexity behind why some learners are either unable or unwilling to speak in a foreign language. This highly interdisciplinary book draws on ideas from fields such as psychology, sociolinguistics and anthropology, and delves deeply into themes relating to Japanese society and the country's education system. Written in an accessible and engaging style, this timely volume will be of interest to researchers, students of educational and applied linguistics, language education policy makers and, indeed, anyone who has ever taught.
