Title: Activities That Work
Body: From http://www.cortland.edu/flteach/FAQ/FAQ-Activities.html Over 100 FLTEACH users have contributed about 300 language activities to a collection housed at http://www.cortland.edu/flteach/FAQ/FAQ-Activities.html . The activities are organized into the following groups: Grammar and Spelling Holidays General Classroom Activities FL Mini-Topics Special Activities Special Times of Challenge For the Teachers The most common denominator for these activities is that they have been devised so that learners will use the target language in order to be successful in each activity. Some activities require a more robust insertion of the learner than others. Some activities are far more intricate and involved than others.

Title: New Book: Memory, Psychology and Second Language Learning
Body: From http://www.benjamins.com/cgi-bin/t_bookview.cgi?bookid=LL%26LT%2019 Memory, Psychology and Second Language Learning By Mick Randall Publisher: John Benjamins Publishing Company Publisher’s summary: This book explores the contributions that cognitive linguistics and psychology, including neuropsychology, have made to the understanding of the way that second languages are processed and learnt. It examines areas of phonology, word recognition and semantics, examining ‘bottom-up’ decoding processes as compared with ‘top-down’ processes as they affect memory. It also discusses second language learning from the acquisition/learning and nativist/connectionist perspectives. These ideas are then related to the methods that are used to teach second languages, primarily English, in formal classroom situations. This examination involves both ‘mainstream’ communicative approaches, and more traditional methods widely used to teach EFL throughout the world. The book is intended to act both as a textbook for students who are studying second language teaching and as an exploration of issues for the interested teacher who would like to further extend their understanding of the cognitive processes underlying their teaching.

Title: Call for Papers: Journal of the National Council of Less Commonly Taught Languages
Body: From http://nclrc.org/profdev/conferences_events.html#jncolctl The Journal of the National Council of Less Commonly Taught Languages (NCOLCTL) is soliciting articles for publication. As the official journal of the Council, the journal serves the professional interests of teachers, researchers, and administrators of less commonly taught languages in all settings and all levels of instruction. The Journal is refereed and published once a year. The general editorial focus is on policy, education, programs, advocacy, and research in the field of less commonly taught languages (all foreign languages except English, French, German, and Spanish). The first section will include papers focusing on broader theoretical and technological issues in all fields of less commonly taught languages. The second section will encompass reports about research and teaching in academia, at both K-12 and collegiate levels. The third section shall comprise papers addressing research and teaching in government and industry. Finally, the fourth section will address the issues of a broader social environment, ranging from heritage communities to advancing LCTLs in federal initiatives and legislation. Manuscripts should follow APA style, maximum 25 pages, and be electronically submitted via e-mail attachment. Double-space the manuscript throughout, including notes, references, and tables, using 12-point font with a 1.5 inch left margin. The manuscript should be accompanied by a 150 word (or less) abstract and a cover sheet containing the manuscript title, name, address, office and home telephone numbers, fax number, e-mail address, and full names and institutions of each author. Because the manuscript will be blind reviewed, identifying information should be on the title page only, and not appear in the manuscript. Submission Deadline: November 20, 2007 LCTL@mailplus.wisc.edu NCOLCTL 4231 Humanities Building 455 North Park Street Madison, WI 53706 Tel: 608-265-7903; FAX 608 265 7904

Title: Call for Papers: World Language Teaching and Learning in the N-Generation
Body: Don Tapscott, in his book Growing Up Digital (1998), coined the term "Net Generation" in reference to the group of young people who have grown up immersed in a digital- and internet-driven world. While the exact years of birth for those included in this generation is debated, the idea is that it includes those born between 1976 and 2001, being comprised, then, of some 88 million members. Others, in reference to these children of the Baby Boomers, have called them the N-Generation, the Y-Generation, or the Millennials. Certainly, there is no definitive agreement about the chronological composition, or labeling, of this group, but it is readily apparent that to reach and teach these individuals, traditional pedagogical techniques need to be revisited. To that end, the editors are requesting submission of manuscripts for a monograph tentatively entitled: "World Language Teaching and Learning in the N-Generation: Issues and Perspectives." This volume will focus on the research, practices, and professional interests/issues of world language instructors, researchers, administrators, and language lab directors concerned with the teaching and learning of world languages at all levels of instruction. Manuscripts may include, but are not limited to, data-based research studies, policy essays, revised/new methodologies, curriculum studies, technological implementations and/or practical applications within the world language classroom. Contributors are invited to address issues such as the use of the internet, Ipods, Xpods, video streaming, e-mail, instant messaging, IM language, Telnet, wikis, cell phones, online or hybrid courses, etc. and how these are used in and/or affect world language teaching and learning. Deadline for submission is January 15, 2008. Submit manuscripts in electronic form, either as Word or WordPerfect document (e-mail attachment or on diskette), or address questions, to: Dr. Raquel Oxford Curriculum and Instruction University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Milwaukee, WI 53201 phone: 414-229-5994 e-mail: roxford@uwm.edu OR Dr. Jeffrey Oxford Spanish and Portuguese University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Milwaukee, WI 53201 phone: 414-229-4257 e-mail: oxford@uwm.edu
