Title: Call for Proposals: Journal of English for Academic Purposes
Body: From http://linguistlist.org/issues/18/18-1714.html The Journal of English for Academic Purposes is now soliciting manuscript proposals for a special issue on Critical English for Academic Purposes which will highlight the research of critical EAP teachers, that is, those who theorize power as a central concern in their classrooms, the institutions in which they work, and the societies in which they live. The articles will clearly connect theory and practice by demonstrating how critical theory has been enacted in EAP settings and how teachers theorized their practice. The special issue editor encourages contributors to discuss their findings in a self-reflexive manner, by problematizing their findings rather than reporting them as definitive results. The deadline for proposals is 15 July 2007. For more information, go to http://linguistlist.org/issues/18/18-1714.html .

Title: Article: Accent Reduction Companies
Body: From http://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/05/business/05accent.html?_r=1&oref=slogin Accents on the Wrong Syl-LA-ble By MICHAEL T. LUONGO Published: June 5, 2007 Sergei Petukhov is one of many educated non-native English speakers working in the United States who take voice training and accent reduction to improve presentations, workshops and everyday conversations with their American-born co-workers. Mr. Petukhov’s accent coach, Jennifer Pawlitschek, said that from her experience in New York, the field is growing. “Here it’s hot, and I think it’s because it’s an international crossroads,” she said, both because the United Nations is in the city and because of New York’s role in global financial markets. Often trained as actors, some coaches use techniques they learned to reduce regional American accents or to affect foreign accents. Ms. Pawlitschek teaches clients jaw exercises and muscle relaxation to reduce “a tightness in the jaw that nasalizes the sound.” Her exercises focus on mouth muscles, and her clients listen to themselves from recordings and practice speaking in front of mirrors.

Title: New Language Museum Planned in Denmark
Body: AN INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE MUSEUM IN DENMARK In August 2006 the initiative was taken to build a language museum, or rather a modern interactive language exploration activity center, in Denmark's second largest city, Aarhus. The vision is to erect a modern museum presenting all sides of the phenomenon of language in a variety of ways that are appealing, engrossing and educational to the general public, child and adult. State-of-the-art advanced interactive set-ups are envisaged with multiple hands-on exhibitions. Top-notch technology will involve visitors with each other, providing an unusual meeting place with people speaking other languages. Denmark's International Language Museum does not only deal with the Danish language. The museum will furnish a portal for the phenomenon of language in its many diverse forms and functions. It will provide insights into the diversity of the world's more than 6000 languages, and a voyage of discovery into the realm of the ultimate essence of humanity. For more information about the planned museum, go to http://www.languagemuseum.dk .
