Title: New Book: Multimodal Teaching and Learning
Body: From http://www.continuumbooks.com/Books/detail.aspx?ReturnURL=/Search/default.aspx&CountryID=2&ImprintID=2&BookID=113037 Multimodal Teaching and Learning: The Rhetorics of the Science Classroom Gunther Kress Carey Jewitt Jon Ogborn Tsatsarelis Charalampos Multimodal Teaching and Learning: The Rhetorics of the Science Classroom achieves the rare goal of explicating multimodality as both theory and practice. This is an importantly concrete analysis, derived from extended, careful, and interdisciplinary observation, which challenges our thinking about how meaning and knowledge are shaped by our modes of communication. The book appeals to a wide range of scholars and practitioners far beyond the science classroom. Professor Ron Scollon, Department of Linguistics, Georgetown University. This book takes a radically different look at communication, and in doing so presents a series of challenges to accepted views on language, on communication, on teaching and, above all, on learning. Drawing on extensive research in science classrooms, it presents a view of communication in which language is not necessarily communication image, gesture, speech, writing, models, spatial and bodily codes. The action of students in learning is radically rethought: all participants in communication are seen as active transformers of the meaning resources around them, and this approach opens a new window on the processes of learning.

Title: New Report: National Literacy Panel for Language Minority Children and Youth
Body: The long-awaited report of the National Literacy Panel for Language Minority Children and Youth is being released. An Executive Summary of the panels findings is now available at www.cal.org. The full report will be published byLawrence Erlbaum Associates, Inc., later this spring. This project was funded by the U.S. Department of Education and the National Institute for Child Health and Human Development and was conducted by the Center for Applied Linguistics (CAL) and SRI International under the leadership of Diane August, who was principal investigator. The panel was appointed in 2002 by the U.S. Department of Education to conduct a review of the research on the literacy development of English language learners. The review is particularly important because U.S. schools now serve more than 14 million children nationwide who come from households in which English is not the primary language spoken, and because No Child Left Behindthe federal education lawrequires that federally funded educational programs be supported by research. Various national studies indicate that second-language learners have not fared well in U.S. schools when it comes to reading achievement, and educators are seeking guidance from research. Visit http://www.cal.org/projects/natlitpanel.html to download the full press release and executive summary or to order a copy of the report.

This glossary aims to promote greater consistency in the vocabulary used in Spanish-language materials about higher education.

Those who may find this resource useful include secondary school administrators, postsecondary admissions and outreach professionals, and those involved in academic advising activities.
