Title: Iowa Task Force Outlines Challenges for State's English-Language Learners
Body: From http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/learning-the-language/2013/12/iowa_task_force_outlines_chall.html Iowa Task Force Outlines Challenges for State's English-Language Learners By Lesli A. Maxwell December 3, 2013 Just under 5 percent of students in Iowa's K-12 schools are English-language learners, a share that has risen every year for more than a decade. And in 23 of Iowa's school districts, English-learners comprise more than 10 percent of the student body. That demographic shift alone—coupled with very low achievement levels for students whose first language is not English—prompted state education officials to take a closer look at what policies and practices are needed to better serve Iowa's growing population of English-learners. These are issues that many states that have experienced a rapid influx of immigrant families must tackle. Iowa took it on this fall, with a task force assigned to look at ELLs, the instructional practices being used to teach them, and their academic outcomes. The task force's findings are outlined in a report that was published last week by the Iowa Department of Education.

Title: Book: The Metalinguistic Dimension in Instructed Second Language Learning
Body: From http://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/the-metalinguistic-dimension-in-instructed-second-language-learning-9781441160898 The Metalinguistic Dimension in Instructed Second Language Learning Edited by Karen Roehr and Gabriela Adela Ganem-Gutierrez Published by Bloomsbury Publishing The metalinguistic dimension refers to the way in which learners bring to bear knowledge about language into their learning of a second language, the "L2". This book brings together new research on the metalinguistic dimension, given its increasing importance in the study of L2 acquisition. In applied linguistics it is widely accepted that L2 learners develop and use knowledge about language when engaging with the challenging task of acquiring a new language; this applies to both children and adults. It is definitions of the metalinguistic dimension that vary, and findings regarding its role in L2 learning are not necessarily homogenous or compatible. The scope exists for further, empirical, detailed research. This book explores the nature, development and role of the metalinguistic dimension and is appropriate for SLA scholars and those working in language and education.
