Title: Book Review: Exploring Corpora for ESP Learning
Body: From http://linguistlist.org/issues/17/17-3033.html#1 Exploring Corpora for ESP Learning Gavioli, Laura Philip M. McCarthy: Institute for Intelligent Systems, Department of Psychology, The University of Memphis As a teacher and researcher in corpus linguistics, I have become increasingly frustrated over recent years by the mysterious lack of corpus analysis applications. There has been an avalanche of articles, books, and conferences dedicated to the glories of corpus linguistics and yet, there has been a dearth of practical, simple, solid, and (above all) interesting pedagogical applications. For me then, corpus linguistics in the classroom has been like Mars glittering in the night sky: so full of possibility and yet no one can tell us much more than there might be water there. To justify a journey to Mars, we need to know what we could do with it once we have invested so much to get there. To justify the investment in building corpora for the classroom, we need to know, clearly, how we investigate corpora, and what corpora offer us that a traditional classroom text book does not. In "Exploring corpora for ESP learning", I am happy to report that the Eagle has landed, and that there is an abundance of not only of water but life itself.

Title: New Book: Classroom Interactions as Cross-Cultural Encounters
Body: From http://tinyurl.com/yffooy Classroom Interactions as Cross-Cultural Encounters: Native Speakers in EFL Lessons by Jasmine C.M. Luk and Angel M. Y. Lin Classroom Interactions as Cross-Cultural Encounters is about native English speakers teaching English as a global language in non-English speaking countries. Through analysis of naturally occurring dialogic encounters, the authors examine the multifaceted ways in which teachers and students utilize diverse communicative resources to construct, display, and negotiate their identities as teachers, learners, and language users, with different pedagogic, institutional, social, and political implications. A range of issues in applied linguistics is addressed, including linguistic imperialism, post-colonial theories, micropolitics of classroom interaction, language and identity, and bilingual classroom practices.

Title: Recommended Video about the Day of the Dead
Body: A recent request for suggested videos appropriate for learning about Mexico's Day of the Dead celebration received a nomination for "Food for the Ancestors", available from the Public Broadcasting Corporation. From http://www.pbs.org/foodancestors Mexico is a land of memory. At no time is that better seen than in a unique celebration called Days of the Dead (Dias de los Muertos). The festival is very ancient, Prehispanic, but with Christian overtones. Each year during the last week in October, Mexican communities everywhere begin preparations for this marvelous event. Homes and public places are decorated with symbols of the holiday -- marigolds, skulls and skeletons, and food. For each family, the holiday is a remembrance of a departed loved one. On a larger scale, it is also remembrance of all ancestral Mexicans and of the gifts that they passed on to their descendants, especially food and culture. For Mexicans food is central to their culture, the key to their whole history. For more information, visit http://www.pbs.org/foodancestors .
