Body: From http://www.ncela.gwu.edu/newsline/archives/2007/03/students_flock.html Daily Freeman (NY) March 1, 2007 Kate Heidecker reports that with a burgeoning population of non-English speaking students in the Kingston (NY) school district, a program offering after-school tutoring in Spanish is a fully-booked success at two local elementary schools. The 10-week program matches English as a Second Language students and members of Kingston High School's Spanish Honor Society with pupils in kindergarten through fifth grade at George Washington and Edson elementary schools who want to learn the language. Maria DeCaro, a Spanish teacher at Kingston High, oversees the program with M. Clifford Miller Middle School Spanish teacher Grabrila Ane. The brainchild of school board Trustee James Shaugnessy, the program was so popular students had to enter a lottery to participate. "The little ones are like a sponge and they absorb everything faster," DeCaro said. "It's a voluntary program - they really want to be here to learn."

Title: Ideas for Teaching and Discussing Literature
Body: An FLTEACH user recently asked, “Do any of you, no matter the language you teach, have ideas of how to teach a novel/short story/work of literature--how to present it, how to get students engaged, how to keep them engaged?” Gibson, S. Teaching and Discussing Literature. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv (FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU, 28 Feb 2007). Responses included the following : --- Here are some fun activities that I had my students do: 1) Create a newspaper about the events of a chapter 2) Have students keep journals, but taking a character's role and writing what that individual character's take on the chapters' events was 3) Students would have a debate about different events in a chapter/reading, but from specific characters' points of views (I would assign a character to each student) 4) Hold a "public hearing" or a mock trial regarding an event in the reading--like whether or not one character's treatment towards another character was justified 5) Create a new ending to a novel 6) Add another stanza to a poem (or change it) 7) Create a television newscast regarding the events from a particular reading Re: Teaching and Discussing Literature. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv (FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU, 28 Feb 2007). --- I use Guessing at missing information, jigsaw reading, making a dialogue between two of the characters, writing a letter to a character, writing Chapter 0, writing the ending... (before you read the ending) changing the ending. Part two, What the author left out, reading to half the class (then they have to tell the other half what happened) the next day you switch. Illustrating parts of the story/chapters, retelling the story/part based on the illustrations. Alonso, D. Re: Teaching and Discussing Literature. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv (FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU, 28 Feb 2007). --- You might consider some kind of graphic organizer. You could draw one on the board and ask the students to "help" you to come up with ideas about the theme(s) of the story, similarities/differences between (among) characters, even vocabulary such as adjectives that describe characters,setting, etc. Rebenstein, C. Re: Teaching and Discussing Literature. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv (FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU, 1 Mar 2007).

Title: New Book: Assessment and Accountability in Language Education Programs
Body: From http://www.caslonpublishing.com/Assessment_and_Accountability_in_Language_Education_Programs.htm Assessment and Accountability in Language Education Programs: A Guide for Administrators and Teachers By Margo Gottlieb and Diep Nguyen Published by Caslon Publishing and Consulting This book provides a field-tested approach to accountability for ELLs. Gottlieb and Nguyen propose the BASIC model, an acronym for Balanced Assessment and Accountability System, Inclusive and Comprehensive. This model is research-based and grounded in practice; it relies on multiple forms of assessment data and yields valid and reliable evidence of language learners’ growth and achievement over time. This guide models how to collect, analyze, and use evidence of students’ language development and academic achievement to: 1. Respond to external accountability requirements 2. Guide classroom instruction 3. Improve programs for language learners 4. Inform local policy making 5. Strengthen advocacy efforts The book includes worksheets that guide administrators and teachers’ efforts to develop and implement research-based assessment and accountability frameworks that are appropriate for their language education program (dual language, transitional bilingual, English as a second language/ESL).
