New Trends in Foreign Language Teaching: Methods, Evaluation and Innovation
Edited by António Lopes and Raúl Ruiz Cecilia
Published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing
Language teaching approaches, methods and procedures are constantly undergoing reassessment. New ideas keep emerging as the growing complexity of the means of communication and the opportunities created by technology put language skills to new uses. In addition, the political, social and economic impact of globalization, the new demands of the labor market that result from it, the pursuit of competitiveness, the challenges of intercultural communication and the diversification of culture have opened new perspectives on the central role that foreign languages have come to play in the development of contemporary societies. This book provides an insight into the latest developments in the field and discusses the new trends in foreign language teaching in four major areas, namely methods and approaches, teacher training, innovation in the classroom, and evaluation and assessment.

Applied Linguistics Winter Conference 2019
Saturday, February 9, 2019
World Citizenship through media in the language classroom
The theme this year surrounds the idea that technology and media are an integral part of language learning. For language learners, we must continue to show media in other forms outside of the textbook. This includes multimodal texts, media not limited to images, and video. The conference provides the opportunity to present either research or practical methods that apply to Language Learners. Join the conference to learn about practices being incorporated in throughout New York State.

Title: Language Proficiency Key Component in New USED International Education Strategy
Body:
To commemorate International Education Week 2018, the US Department of Education released new policy guidelines, along with a short video from the Secretary, that puts language learning front and center. You can view the video at https://youtu.be/Ix4iMq8NKuc
In the revised international education strategy, “Succeeding Globally Through International Education and Engagement,” the Department acknowledges that students must “anticipate and adapt” by mastering “broadly transferable and versatile competencies” like “cultural intelligences.”
This version incorporates the global competency framework, developed in the last year of the previous administration, and references the AAAS Commission on Language Learning and the 2017 Global Competencies article in ACTFL’s quarterly research publication, the Foreign Language Annals.
