Title: Literature Facilitates Content-Based Instruction
Body: From: http://searchenglish.britishcouncil.org/SuggestFrame.asp?newURL='http:// rapidintellect.com/AEQweb/nov2707.htm'&UserID= Literature Facilitates Content-Based Instruction Gail August, Hostos Community College, City University of New York Assistant Professor in the Department of Language and Cognition Abstract: Besides teaching language skills, the community college ESL curriculum must also prepare students for further academic studies. Content-Based ESL is a methodology which teaches academic vocabulary, domain knowledge, and critical thinking in an ESL context. When students do not have sufficient reading skill to achieve the objectives of this curriculum, it can be supplemented with relevant young adult fiction. The combination of Content Based Instruction and childrens literature, written for an adolescent audience, is an effective strategy for improving the academic skills of adult ESL students.

Title: Call for Papers: American Indian Quarterly
Body: From: http://www.ncela.gwu.edu/enews/2004/1123.htm#callfor Deadline: January 15, 2004 The American Indian Quarterly seeks submissions for its forthcoming Special Issue, "Indigenous Languages and Indigenous Literatures." Indigenous languages have reached a point of crisis; few of the 500 Indigenous languages of North America are expected to remain viable into the next century. The threat of language death has coincided with a rise in the use and presence of Indigenous languages in works of the imagination (novels, short stories, essays, poems, and autobiographical works). The urgency of language preservation and the newly emergent and as of yet relatively uninvestigated presence of Indigenous languages in works of the imagination calls for a special issue of AIQ. Topics can include, but are not limited to critical analyses and short commentaries of the following: - The politics and protocol of Indigenous language use. Should writers of fiction be excused from responsibility for proper language use because they write creatively? - The role of language preservation in the community and in the university. - An analysis of how authors use Indigenous languages in their works of fiction. - The role of Indigenous languages in the formation and continuation of identity. - Cultural authenticity and Indigenous languages. - The use and abuse of Indigenous languages. - The rise of language preservation in Indigenous communities. AIQ submission guidelines: http://jan.ucc.nau.edu ~mihesuah/aiq/guidelines.htm Send all queries and submissions to the Special Issue Guest Editor: David Treuer, Assistant Professor Department of English, University of Minnesota 10L Lind Hall, 207 Church St SE Minneapolis , MN 55418 Email: treue003@umn.edu
