Title: Online Latin Prose Composition Course
Body: Montclair State University is offering an online seminar in Latin Composition during the winter break (December 20-January 17). Montclair State University welcomes visiting students. Below is a basic course description: Latin Composition: In this seminar students will practice composing sentences (and hopefully short paragraphs) in Latin. In doing so, we will review advanced Latin constructions (subjunctive clauses, conditions, ablative absolutes, future passive periphrastics, etc.) and learn about the prose style of such famous Latin authors as Caesar, Sallust, Livy, and Tacitus. This course is recommended for students who have had between 3-5 semesters of college Latin. Current and prospective Latin teachers are encouraged to enroll. Upon special arrangement with the instructor, this course can be taken for graduate credit. For further information about this course, please contact Dr. Mary C. English at englishm at mail dot montclair dot edu. MSU welcomes students visiting from other institutions and has special programs for high school students who wish to take college classes as well senior citizens who wish to return to school (either at the undergraduate or graduate level). Registration information for visiting students can be found at http://www.montclair.edu Alvares, J. [Latinteach] Online Latin Prose Composition this Winter Session, Dec. 20-Jan 17th.

Title: Article: Busting ELL Myths
Body: From http://www.tolerance.org/blog/busting-ell-myths?elq=12e1dc82988c462eaaf03bf0da034cbf&elqCampaignId=183 Teacher Nichole Berg writes: “’Why am I in this class? I know how to speak English!’ ‘ESOL is for kids who don’t know English! I don’t want to be in here!’ ‘How can I get out of this class?’ “I was shocked to hear these comments from my students the first year I took a new position as an ESOL “unified arts”/”exploratory” teacher at my middle school. “Once I became aware of the negative perceptions surrounding the ESOL/bilingual skills class, I knew I had to prioritize classroom safety and create an environment where students felt supported and respected enough to learn. This meant addressing stereotypes associated with ELLs, explicitly teaching students about language proficiency and academic language, and empowering students to embrace their bi/multilingualism.” Read the full article to see what Ms. Berg has done at http://www.tolerance.org/blog/busting-ell-myths?elq=12e1dc82988c462eaaf03bf0da034cbf&elqCampaignId=183
