Title: Blog Post: Teaching Latin to Humans
Body:
From https://eidolon.pub
Justin Slocum Bailey just posted a lengthy article in the Paideia Institute’s journal about an approach to teaching Latin that relies in extensive comprehensible input, an approach that is different from the grammar-translation approach that students of classical languages have experiences for centuries.

Title: Inductive Introduction to the Passé Composé for Novice High French Students
Body:
Lisa Shepard writes, “While I have found that most of my students will internalize many structures, such as the use of various articles, many verb forms, irregular adjective forms, etc., other structures require a bit more direct attention. It has been my experience that the formation of the passé composé is one such structure. While I understand that this structure would eventually be acquired, I have found that designing lessons that draw the students’ attention to this form and then encourage them to use it to express their own meaning have been effective in improving their overall proficiency.” In a recent blog post, she shares a unit for her Level 2 students that makes use of authentic texts to focus students’ attention on the passé composé.

Title: American Football Glossary in Spanish
Body:
From http://spanish.about.com/
Following are the Spanish translations of many common football terms as used by the National Football League, U.S. sports TV networks and other sources. But don't be surprised if you hear Spanish speakers, especially those living in the U.S., use English vocabulary for many of these terms, just as you often will in technology and other fields that are dominated by the English language: http://spanish.about.com/od/wordlists/a/football.htm

ELL Advocates Hopeful and Wary of New Federal K-12 Law
by Corey Mitchell
January 5, 2016
The nation's 5 million-plus English-language learners could receive significant civil rights protections under the Every Student Succeeds Act, but the new law is also fraught with potential pitfalls, some ELL advocates say.
The bill will shift accountability for English-learners from Title III—the section of the federal law that previously authorized aid to states and local school districts for English-language-acquisition programs—to Title I, the federal program under which the performance of all other student groups is scrutinized.
That move is an indication that the law will do more to hold all schools, not just those with significant ELL enrollments, accountable for the education of non-native English-speaking students, some advocates said.
…But [the National Council of] La Raza and other groups have reservations about a number of provisions in the law, including the decision to scrub federal accountability targets for ELLs, granting more power to states in the process.

Title: Blog Post: Putting the World in World-Class Education
Body:
From https://3rs4teachers.wordpress.com/
Nicole Naditz, the author of this week’s Topic of the Week article, has a new blog post about what global education really entails. She writes,
“Connecting our content to meaningful experiences outside of the classroom seems hard. Connecting our students to peers and content experts around the world seems even harder. But if we are serious about providing every student with a “world-class education,” then we will have to come to terms with the fact that one of the critical elements missing from most students’ educational experiences is….the WORLD: its peoples and their languages and perspectives. The geography of the world (natural, political, human and otherwise). How the choices we make in our daily lives impact others around the world and ecosystems all over the planet. The WORLD may be the most forgotten piece of our educational programs.”
