Title: Federal Judge Tells Arizona It Can’t Ban Mexican American Studies

Federal judge tells Arizona it can’t ban Mexican American studies
by Valerie Strauss
December 28, 2017
A federal judge this week permanently barred Arizona from enforcing a 2010 law that banned a Mexican American studies program in Tucson schools. Earlier, he had determined the law was unconstitutional and that officials who pushed it had been “motivated by racial animus.”
...He also ruled that the state superintendent of public instruction and the Arizona State Board of Education are barred from requiring the Tucson district “to prepare or file any reports regarding whether any program, curriculum or course is in compliance” with the law, or conduct any audit or investigation to determine the same.

Title: Two-part Series on Instructed Second Language Acquisition
Body:
From http://www.eltresearchbites.com/
Shona Whyte has written a two-part blog series about Instructed Second Language Acquisition (ISLA): what it is, where it falls in a research universe that includes both language learning and language teaching, the role of implicit and explicit language learning, types of intentional learning (focus on form for noticing, detection, or both), and more.
Part 1 is available at http://www.eltresearchbites.com/201712-what-is-instructed-second-language-acquistion-isla-long-2017-part-1/, and Part 2 is available at http://www.eltresearchbites.com/201801-implicit-learning-and-input-enhancement-long-2017-part-2/

Title: OIIP: Language and Culture Learning Coupled with Career Experience
Body:
Integrating language and culture learning with practical career experience makes a powerful combination. CASLS Oregon International Internship Program (OIIP) does just that for students from China, Japan, and Taiwan.
Over the course of six months, OIIP students enroll in a course designed to specifically explore intercultural communication while they complete internships in Eugene-Springfield elementary schools. OIIP students share their native language and culture and help local students learn common core curriculum. In addition, OIIP students stay with local families to future learn about American family life.
“I have learned authentic American education system by observing teachers. I have also met a lot of friends and learned how to be independent,” says Yu Dian, a current student in OIIP who served as an intern at Adams Elementary School.
On Friday, January 12, CASLS said farewell to a group of eight OIIP students from Minzu University, East China Normal University, and National Chiayi University. OIIP will welcome another group of students in February.

Title: Book: Complexity Theory and Language Development
Body:
From https://benjamins.com/#catalog/books/lllt.48/main
Complexity Theory and Language Development: In celebration of Diane Larsen-Freeman
Edited by Lourdes Ortega and ZhaoHong Han
Published by John Benjamins Publishing Company
This volume is a state-of-the-art display of current thinking on second language development as a complex system. It is also a tribute to Diane Larsen-Freeman for her decades of intellectual leadership in the academic disciplines of applied linguistics and second language acquisition. The chapters therein range from theoretical expositions to methodological analyses, pedagogical proposals, and conceptual frameworks for future research. In a balanced and in-depth manner, the authors provide a comprehensive and interdisciplinary understanding of second language development, with a wealth of insights that promise to break the status-quo of current research and take it to exciting new territory. The book will appeal to both seasoned and novice researchers in applied linguistics, second language acquisition, bilingualism, cognitive psychology, and education, as well as to practitioners in second or foreign language teaching of any language.

Title: Book: Phonology in Protolanguage and Interlanguage
Body:
From https://www.equinoxpub.com/home/phonology-protolanguage-interlanguage-babatsouli-ingram/
Phonology in Protolanguage and Interlanguage
Edited by Elena Babatsouli and David Ingram
Published by Equinox
Phonemic awareness and phonetic skill are the backbones of phonological theory. In phonological acquisition, the presence or lack of the former crucially determines the outcome of the latter. This inescapably becomes a common thread that interweaves developmental phonology in both childhood and adulthood. Child and adult-learner speech in the course of development constitute separate linguistic systems in their own right: they are intermediate states whose endpoint is, or ought to be, mastery of targeted speech either in a first or a second language. These intermediate states form the theme of this volume which introduces the term protolanguage (to refer to child language in development) and juxtaposes it with interlanguage (to refer to language development in adulthood).
This volume brings together different methodological approaches with a stress on both phonetic and phonological analysis. It includes both child and adult developmental perspectives, descriptive and/or theoretical results from a combination of methodological approaches (e.g. single-case, cross-sectional; spontaneous speech samples, narrative retells) and a consideration of speech acquisition in the general context of language.
The volume aims to motivate a shift in the general tendency among researchers to specialize in language subfields (L1 acquisition; L2 acquisition, bilingualism; typical/atypical language) of what is actually one common linguistic domain, i.e. the study of speech sounds (phonology/phonetics).
