Title: New York To Seek Federal Approval To Test English Language Learners in Native Languages
Body: From http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/learning-the-language/2013/12/new_york_to_seek_federal_waive.html New York to Seek Federal Waiver to Test English-Learners in Native Languages By Lesli A. Maxwell December 16, 2013 Responding in part to concerns over assessment, New York education officials are preparing to ask the U.S. Department of Education for a waiver that would allow the state's eligible English-learners to take a language arts assessment in their native language rather than in English. At least to start, New York officials say they would develop a language arts test in Spanish, as two-thirds of the state's English-learner population is Spanish-speaking. The state would offer the native language assessment option to ELLs who have attended schools in the United States for fewer than five years.

Title: What To Do After the Skype Session
Body: From http://sraspanglish.blogspot.com From the Señora Spanglish Rides Again blog: “You arranged for your class to Skype with a native speaker--maybe a whole class of native speakers--and to carry on a real live conversation in the target language. Your kids introduced themselves, nodded and said "gracias" like they should when their compañeros across the internet answered their questions. But you still have a feeling that they have almost no idea what just happened.” Now what? Read on for follow-up ideas at http://sraspanglish.blogspot.com/2013/12/after-skype-session.html

Title: Book: Peer Interaction and Second Language Learning
Body: From http://www.routledge.com/books/details/9780415895729 Peer Interaction and Second Language Learning By Jenefer Philp, Rebecca Adams, and Noriko Iwashita Published by Routledge Taylor & Francis Group Peer Interaction and Second Language Learning synthesizes the existing body of research on the role of peer interaction in second language learning in one comprehensive volume. In spite of the many hours that language learners spend interacting with peers in the classroom, there is a tendency to evaluate the usefulness of this time by comparison to whole class interaction with the teacher. Yet teachers are teachers and peers are peers – as partners in interaction, they are likely to offer very different kinds of learning opportunities. This book encourages researchers and instructors alike to take a new look at the potential of peer interaction to foster second language development. Acknowledging the context of peer interaction as highly dynamic and complex, the book considers the strengths and limitations of peer work from a range of theoretical perspectives. In doing so, Peer Interaction and Second Language Learning clarifies features of effective peer interaction for second language learning across a range of educational contexts, age spans, proficiency levels, and classroom tasks and settings.

Title: Book: Second Language Acquisition and the Critical Period Hypothesis
Body: From http://www.routledge.com/books/details/9780415745086 Second Language Acquisition and the Critical Period Hypothesis Edited by David Birdsong Published by Routledge Taylor & Francis Group Second Language Acquisition and the Critical Period Hypothesis is the only book on the market to provide a diverse collection of perspectives, from experienced researchers, on the role of the Critical Period Hypothesis in second language acquisition. It is widely believed that age effects in both first and second language acquisition are developmental in nature, with native levels of attainment in both to be though possible only if learning began before the closure of a "window of opportunity" – a critical or sensitive period. These seven chapters explore this idea at length, with each contribution acting as an authoritative look at various domains of inquiry in second language acquisition, including syntax, morphology, phonetics/phonology, Universal Grammar, and neurofunctional factors. By presenting readers with an evenly-balanced take on the topic with viewpoints both for and against the Critical Period Hypothesis, this book is the ideal guide to understanding this critical body of research in SLA, for students and researchers in Applied Linguistics and Second Language Acquisition.

Title: Book: The Grammar Dimension in Instructed Second Language Learning
Body: From http://bloomsbury.com/uk/the-grammar-dimension-in-instructed-second-language-learning-9781441162045 The Grammar Dimension in Instructed Second Language Learning Edited by Alessandro Benati, Cécile Laval, and María Arche Published by Bloomsbury Publishing One of the key issues in second language learning and teaching concerns the role and practice of grammar instruction. Does it make a difference? How do we teach grammar in the language classroom? Is there an effective technique to teach grammar that is better than others? While some linguists address these questions to develop a better understanding of how people acquire a grammar, language acquisition scholars are in search of the most effective way to approach the teaching of grammar in the language classroom. The individual chapters in this volume will explore a variety of approaches to grammar teaching and offer a list of principles and guidelines that those involved in language acquisition should consider to design and implement effective grammar tasks during their teaching. It proposes that the key issue is not whether or not we should teach grammar but how we incorporate a teaching grammar component in our communicative language teaching practices.
