Title: Book: Language Learning and Teaching in a Multilingual World
Body:
From http://www.multilingual-matters.com/display.asp?isb=9781788922975
Language Learning and Teaching in a Multilingual World
By Marie-Françoise Narcy-Combes, Jean-Paul Narcy-Combes, Julie McAllister, Malory Leclère, and Grégory Miras
Published by Multilingual Matters
The majority of people around the world live in multilingual societies, and so it follows that plurilingualism should be considered normal. This book proposes a flexible and adaptive framework for designing and implementing language learning environments and tasks, which will be useful for practitioners working in classrooms where many languages are already spoken. The authors begin by presenting a state-of-the-art review of current research on language learning, language teaching and multilingual language acquisition. This is followed by a qualitative review of 37 multilingual research projects, which are treated as case studies to inform the practical guidance that constitutes the remainder of the book. The information and practical framework contained within this book will be of interest to both researchers, teachers and teacher educators.

Title: Call for Papers: Tenth Annual Workshop on Immigrant Languages in the Americas
Body:
From http://www.workshoponimmigrantlanguages.org/wila-10.html
The Workshop on Immigrant Languages in the Americas is an annual conference focused on heritage language research. The next WILA will be held 10-12 October 2019 at Østfold University College (Halden, Norway).
Heritage languages have only recently become a major topic of interest among linguists, explored for their implications for linguistic theory, especially in terms of acquisition, attrition, and change. This workshop aims to promote discussion of heritage languages in the Americas across different language, subfields, and theoretical persuasions.
The organizers invite abstracts for 30-minute presentations (20 minutes + 10 minutes for questions), electronic posters, and traditional posters on any aspect of the linguistics of heritage languages in the Americas (e.g., structural, generative, historical, sociolinguistic, or experimental).
The submission deadline is June 15, 2019.

Title: PEARLL Summer Institute
Body:
Our sister Language Resource Center, Professionals in Education Advancing Research and Language Learning, will host a series of three professional development opportunities this summer for its summer institute:
June 25-27: Effective Unit Planning
Lead Facilitators: Laura Terrill and Thomas Sauer
A thematic curriculum allows teachers to create meaningful, real-world contexts for standards-based teaching and learning. By building on learners’ interests and life experiences, their attitudes, skills and knowledge are developed in meaningful ways. What real-world contexts will guide what students will have to know and be able to do by the end of a unit? Participants will explore how the NCSSFL-ACTFL Can-Do Statements provide a focus on performance and language functions which are used to guide the development of thematic units while allowing teachers and learners to monitor and document student growth. Participants will have time to develop a thematic unit and will receive feedback at each stage of the development process. Access to model curricula in multiple languages will be provided.
July 11-13: Facilitating Teacher Effectiveness
Lead Facilitators: Greta Lundgaard, Thomas Sauer, and Laura Terrill
Developed in collaboration with the National Association of District Supervisors of Foreign Languages
Districts and departments who are focused on developing and implementing a performance-based world language curriculum with district-wide assessments will consider how the Teacher Effectiveness for Language Learning (TELL) Framework provides guidance for more effective instruction resulting in accelerated learning for students. This in-depth professional learning opportunity for district and teacher leaders will engage with and create tools that will support the implementation of effective instruction and assessment. Participants will engage in collaborative work centered around a common definition for high-quality world language learning in order to support the professional growth and development of world language teachers. Participants in this institute are encouraged to make hotel reservations at “The Hotel”. Transportation to the institute site will be provided each day.
August 19-21: Effective Lesson Planning
Lead Facilitator: Thomas Sauer
When schools develop new curricula, there are often gaps that exist between what is written and what teachers need to implement the new curricula. Participants will learn how to deconstruct unit can-do statements into chunks for daily lessons. They will review several examples and will develop a sequence of activities that move students from input to output incorporating frequent checks for learning designed to provide feedback for the learner and teacher. Participants will have time to develop several lesson plans and will receive feedback at each stage of the development process. Access to model lesson plans, activity banks, and more will be provided.

Title: Webinar: The Case for Hybrid Courses
Body:
The American Councils of Teachers of Russian will host a webinar, "To Blend or Not to Blend: The Case for Hybrid Courses," on April 30. In this webinar, Shannon Donnally Spasova will discuss the phenomenon of hybrid/blended courses and why the number of these courses is growing in language education. She will discuss some background about this format in the teaching of languages as well as figures from the Russian field. Then she will outline her own experience in transitioning the first- and second-year Russian courses at Michigan State University to be hybrid, hybridizing a literature in translation course, as well as the effort by Middlebury College Russian School to streamline the experience of learners by introducing some hybrid elements to the pre-immersion process. Finally, she will share some resources that are freely available for those who are interested in transitioning their courses to a blended format or enhancing their courses with technology.
