Title: Toolkit for Effective Instruction of English Learners
Body: From: NCELA The "In the Classroom" Toolkit is designed to bring research and practice together for those involved in the education of culturally and linguistically diverse learners. Initiated by National Clearinghouse staff with experience in English as a second language (ESL)/bilingual classroom teaching, the project has the specific goal of making research-based lessons, activities, and curriculum accessible to all teachers of English language learners (ELLs), whether within bilingual education, ESL, or English-only settings. It is intended to be an ongoing effort. Contributions of lessons for the Toolkit are welcome. Contribute Lessons About the toolkit areas: A set of teaching tools/strategies accompanies each challenge. Every tool is linked to at least one lesson plan or activity illustrating its use for classroom teachers. Each lesson/activity includes information on the grade, content area, and challenge addressed. Lessons in the Toolkit reflect the PRINCIPLES OF EFFECTIVE PRACTICE for educating limited English proficient (LEP) students developed by the Center for Equity and Excellence in Education at The George Washington University and the CHECKLIST FOR EFFECTIVE PRACTICE with English Learners provided by Freeman and Freeman (1999). The Toolkit can be viewed as the practical extension of broad recommendations made by these two resources. Go to: http://www.ncela.gwu.edu/classroom/toolkit/index.htm

Title: 36th Benkyoukai (Study Forum)
Body: From: "Keiko Schneider" "Basic IT Infrastructure to Support Japanese Language Education (2003) " Info Page: Misa Gratton "Basic IT Infrastructure to Support Japanese Language Education (2003) " October 27th (Monday), 2003 at 1pm EST October 27th (Monday) 8am Hawaii, 10am PST, noon CST, 6pm GMT, 6pm London, October 28th (Tuesday) 3am Japan, 5am Sydney, 7am New Zealand, if this calculation is correct. To be sure, please go to Timezone Converter () Daylight Savings in North America finishes on the 26th (Sunday) How long? For about 50 minutes Whos is the invited speaker? Misa Gratton Misa Gratton has worked in the IT field all her life. She has used a variety of computers in different countries including Japan. From 1986 to 1989, she was Chief of Computer Services Unit, the United Nations University, Tokyo, Japan, where she gained significant experience in computers localized for the Japanese language and ones based on the English language, with their connectivity to international networks. Upon her return to Canada and working as a public servant, she undertook large IT planning projects including IT strategic planning. This led to an assignment to Carleton University to develop an IT strategic plan for the entire university community. In the process, she found an extremely interesting problem to describe IT infrastructure to support multilingual needs. She wishes to share her information with sensei gata involved in the Japanese language education. Short description of the presentation Since technical support resources are difficult and expensive to obtain, it is extremely effective to exchange technical information in eGroups, such as SenseiOnline. In such exchanges, it would be helpful if participants can use basic common terms which are well defined and used among a majority of computer and Internet users. This will introduce certain preciseness in describing problems and finding answers. The paper tries to explain "how things work" by using a basic set of technical terms. Its goal is to contribute to SenseiOnline by enhancing the information exchange on the use of computers and the Internet. What is going to happen? Misa sensei's paper is at So read the paper above and go to TAPPED IN with the new interface. There, you will be able to discuss this topic with Misa sensei and others from around the world. TAPPED IN is open to everybody and the presentation will be done in English. Where? TAPPED IN is letting us use their space. Please go to for detailed Guest log in info. No sign up necessary. Please log in a few minutes early to get used to the environment or do practice before the actual session. Can I use Japanese? TAPPED IN can't yet show Japanese even if user computer is Japanese capable. If I can't attend? If I am too sleepy? The log of the event will be available in PDF format after several days after the event. Please visit: Please send any question to the Manager of senseiOnline at senseionline-owner@yahoogroups.com I look forward to seeing you all!
