Title: Michigan Arabic Language Program Receives Federal Grant
Body: Dearborn, Michigan is an unusual town, not only for its large Arab-American population, but also because Arabic is taught in several of its schools. Now a grant from the Department of Defense will enable the district to expand and sustain its existing program, with the help of a team at Michigan State University.

Title: Book Review: CALL Research Perspectives
Body: From http://linguistlist.org/issues/17/17-1037.html EDITORS: Egbert, Joy L.; Petrie, Gina Mikel TITLE: Call Research Perspectives SERIES: ESL & Applied Linguistics Professional Series PUBLISHER: Lawrence Erlbaum Associates YEAR: 2005 Kara McBride, Second Language Acquisition and Teaching, University of Arizona OVERVIEW As stated in the preface, this book is ''not a how-to-do research book'' (p. ix). The book is meant to get people involved in computer-assisted language learning (CALL) research reflecting on CALL research. Thus, the first two chapters that comprise ''Part I: Introduction to CALL research'' assume some familiarity with the topic, and they focus on past misconceptions and flaws in the field's brief history. Both chapters call for more rigorous work to be done, and for research to be solidly grounded in second language acquisition (SLA) theory. The next 12 chapters of the book each in turn present one theoretically-based perspective on CALL research. Each chapter is roughly 15 pages and follows the same outline, including sections on previous research, methods, and issues. They all dedicate ample space to presenting questions about CALL research that arise naturally when the field is viewed from the theoretical perspective under discussion. The reader is provided extensive bibliographical references, and sometimes a list of recommended reading. For the CALL researcher in search of his or her next project, this book is the perfect stimulus for creative thinking. Read the complete review at http://linguistlist.org/issues/17/17-1037.html .
