Title: Call for Papers: Reading and Writing
Body: From http://linguistlist.org/issues/18/18-2186.html Call For Papers Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal A Special Issue: Acquiring Reading in Two Languages: Linguistic and Orthographic Factors The special issue is devoted to original research on the acquisition of reading in two languages simultaneously. As the special issue aims to promote a linguistic perspective on reading research, papers accepted for publication will have to show that linguistic principles have been integrated into the design of the study, the development of the tasks, and the interpretation of the findings. Researchers will be required to provide relevant comparative linguistic information about the languages under study. Only papers using experimental or quasi experimental design will be considered for acceptance. All papers will be subject to the normal blind review process of the journal. Topics may include: 1. The effect of the language's phonological system on phonological awareness. 2. The effect of the language's morphological structure (e.g., concatenated vs. non-concatenated) on morphological awareness (inflectional or derivational). 3. Orthographic depth and the relevance of phonological and morphological skills to reading (accuracy, fluency, etc.). 4. Shared phonological and morphological processes in bilingual reading. 5. Cross-linguistic differences in the acquisition of foundation literacy skills. Call deadline: February 1, 2008. More information available at http://www.springer.com/west/home?SGWID=4-102-70-35535485-0&changeHeader=true&referer=www.springeronline.com&SHORTCUT=www.springer.com/journal/11145 under Instructions for Authors.

Title: Workshop on Corpus Methods for SLA Research
Body: From http://linguistlist.org/issues/18/18-3186.html Workshop on Corpus Methods for SLA Research 25-Jan-2008 University of Southampton, United Kingdom This workshop will present a new corpus of spoken L2 Spanish (Spanish Language learner Oral Corpus: SPLLOC), and review the potential contribution of learner corpora to SLA research. The corpus has been created through an ESRC funded project at the universities of Southampton, Newcastle and York. It consists of samples of learner speech in a variety of genres, from beginners to advanced. The conventions and software of the CHILDES project (http://childes.psy.cmu.edu ) have been used for transcription and part of speech tagging of the corpus. The program includes presentations from members of the SPLLOC team about the corpus design and associated research program and a hands-on workshop demonstrating CHILDES programs for data analysis. Travel bursaries: A limited number of travel bursaries will be available for full time research students. To be considered for a bursary please send a short statement with your registration request explaining how participation in the workshop will benefit your doctoral research. Deadline for bursary applications: 30 November 2007. For more information, go to the LINGUIST List posting at http://linguistlist.org/issues/18/18-3186.html .

Title: Online Presentation: Making Standards-based Lessons Understandable for English Learners: The SIOP Model
Body: From http://www.schoolsmovingup.net/cs/wested/view/e/2058 CREATE Co-Sponsored Event: Making Standards-based Lessons Understandable for English Learners: The SIOP Model Primary Presenter: Jana Echevarria, Professor of Education, California State University, Long Beach November 8, 2007 12:00pm - 1:30pm Pacific Time This presentation is co-sponsored by SchoolsMovingUp and CREATE (Center for Research on the Educational Achievement and Teaching of English Language Learners) and focuses on the challenges English learners encounter in learning grade-level content (e.g., math, science, social studies) through a second language. In this interactive online presentation Jana Echevarria, Professor of Education at California State University, Long Beach, will provide an overview of the Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP) Model of instruction, which provides educators with a research-based approach for making standards-based lessons understandable for English learners. With an emphasis on engaging learners and providing ample opportunity for students to use academic English in meaningful ways, the SIOP’s 8 components and 30 features offer a framework around which lessons are organized. With its growing body of research, the SIOP Model has been shown to improve the achievement of students whose teachers implemented it to a high degree. The observation protocol is used by school administrators, teachers, staff developers, and university faculty for observing and quantifying a lesson’s effectiveness. Currently the SIOP Model is used in all 50 states in the U.S. and in several countries. For more information or to sign up, go to http://www.schoolsmovingup.net/cs/wested/view/e/2058 .
