Title: New Book: Ladybugs, Tornadoes, and Swirling Galaxies
Body: From http://tinyurl.com/osj3f Ladybugs, Tornadoes, and Swirling Galaxies: English Language Learners Discover Their World Through Inquiry Brad Buhrow and Anne Upczak Garcia Brad Buhrow and Anne Garcia are primary teachers in a diverse school in Boulder, Colorado. In Ladybugs, Tornadoes and Swirling Galaxies, you will see how they blend comprehension instruction and ELL best practices to explore inquiry as a literacy pathway for English language learners. As teachers and students engage in learning science and social studies content they also discover multiple ways to make meaning. The book is full of photographs of student artworkincluding a color insertthat reveals the children's inquiry process, and demonstrates the important role of art as a sign system in ELL literacy and language acquisition. Brad and Anne provide explicit detail on the process they use as they move step-by-step with students from personal narrative through the independent inquiry process. They also discuss use of the Gradual Release Model, authentic assessment, and bilingual identities. Appendices in Spanish and English help to round out this informative and charming resource.

Title: Book Review: Analysing Academic Writing
Body: From http://linguistlist.org/issues/17/17-1310.html EDITORS: Ravelli, Louise J.; Ellis, Robert A. TITLE: Analysing Academic Writing SUBTITLE: Contextualized Frameworks PUBLISHER: Continuum International Publishing Group Ltd YEAR: 2005 Federico D. Navarro, MAEC-AECI PhD Grant Holder; Universidad de Buenos Aires; Universidad de Valladolid INTRODUCTION Another illuminating title of the Open Linguistics Series, Analysing Academic Writing, first published in 2004, was released in 2005 in a paperback edition, certainly more accessible to scholars. The editors, Louise A. Ravelli and Robert A. Ellis, put together a collection of 14 articles covering 280 pages. OVERVIEW All the articles contain common threads that give thick theoretical cohesion to the volume. There is, firstly, a common debt to the Systemic Functional framework, although this varies in centrality in each individual author and article. That the overwhelming number of contributions are from the United Kingdom and Australia is no doubt due to the lively position of this tradition in those areas. Regardless of the theoretical framework and methodology, all articles assume and explore the unavoidable bidirectional relation between text and context. Secondly, academic writing research is inherently linked to the pedagogical practices associated with its teaching, and thus all articles also share a common interest in the applied consequences of their findings. Again, the centrality of the concern about the teaching of academic writing varies within each article. There are, nevertheless, clear common corpora, the articles' third cohesive thread: students' writing, as opposed to expert or ''accomplished'' writing (cf. Connor 1996). The corpora include pre-tertiary, undergraduate -- particularly emphasized -- and postgraduate writing. The editors point out the criteria behind the order of the articles within the book. First there's a group of articles that bring theoretical issues into sharp focus. They can be further divided into two subgroups: the first five articles study the negotiation of interpersonal meanings; the following six articles concentrate on the management of textual resources. The final group of three articles is entirely concerned with pedagogically-oriented research on academic writing. Read the complete review at http://linguistlist.org/issues/17/17-1310.html .

Title: Oral Practice & Assessment Ideas
Body: Recent discussions on language teaching listservs have addressed ways to foster oral practice and evaluate progress. Here is an activity that may be used with many languages and levels. Look for assessment ideas in upcoming editions of InterCom. ---- Dear Colleagues, Here is a tip that I received from a teacher of ESL at an immigration center. I hope it will be useful for you. Purpose: To give learners an opportunity to practice oral fluency, to practice prediction skills, to practice writing. Preparation Time: 15 minutes Materials: Enough pictures from a newspaper so that there is one for each pair, and the headlines that go with the pictures. Preparation: Find the newspaper pictures and cut them out of the paper. Do not include the caption. Cut out the headline for each article that goes with a picture. You should choose pictures that are not too self-explanatory so learners need to think about what the article could b e about. Put the pictures up around the classroom. Procedure: Pair up the learners. Explain that they will walk around the room in their pairs and spend 1 minute at each picture. During the minute, they should discuss what they think is happening in the picture and what the newspaper article that accompanies it is about. When learners have finished discussing each picture, give each pair a headline. They should find the picture that matches their headline and take it with them back to their seat. Based on the picture and headline, learners write a brief account of the story and summarize their stories for each other. You may want to write short summaries of the original stories for learners to compare their versions to. Ezzaradi, Z. A Tip to practice oral fluency and writing. Teachers of English to speakers of other languages electronic list. TESL-L@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU (3 Feb. 2006).
