Title: New Articles at ESL MiniConference
Body: From http://www.eslminiconf.net/fall07 Here are four new articles (with excerpts) at the ESL MiniConference site for fall 2007: Achievement Profile: Jidapa Promruang ...Working with native English-speaking teachers requires me to understand difficult cross-cultural experiences so that I can help them become effective in their new jobs. New teachers in Thailand need to understand the specific challenges their future students will face. .... Surfing a Topical Wave in the Middle of Autumn ...I was interested to read that many of them were intrigued by the scenes and moods in the paintings of Arthur Short Bull, and several students wished they knew more about Native American Indians.... ESL Student Suggests Improvements in Logical Conversation Method ...I was highly motivated by the request of my student for a visual which would give him and his classmates faster access to their memories of how to perform the various functions in a logical conversation without having to process abundant text... ESL MiniConference Book Review: 101 Questions and Answers, by Steve Krashen and James Crawford ...The information in this book will give teachers and administrators the intellectual ammunition they need to advocate effectively on behalf of newcomers, English language learners, and culturally and linguistically diverse children in all the schools of America today...

Title: New Book: Tasks in Second Language Learning
Body: From http://www.palgrave.com/products/title.aspx?PID=267152 Tasks in Second Language Learning by Virginia Samuda and Martin Bygate Published by Palgrave and MacMillan Summary: Tasks in Second Language Learning aims to bring more fully into debate the holistic nature of language learning, which tasks are one way of achieving, and to outline the research implications of this perspective. It sets language learning tasks within a broad educational and social science perspective, with a consistent focus on the principles and practices of their use in the language classroom. The authors review and examine previous research from a pedagogic perspective, before exploring the theoretical and practical classroom issues which language learning tasks give rise to. This forms the basis for the development of a research agenda focusing on classroom-based practice. Using case study data, illustrative materials, transcript data, and close analyses of published research studies, the book provides illustrations of the contributions of a range of specialists in research, teaching methodology and materials development, and of the authors' own argument.
