Title: Call for Papers: Interfaces of Bilingualism and Specific Language Impairment Workshop
Body: From http://linguistlist.org/issues/19/19-3140.html Interfaces of Bilingualism and Specific Language Impairment Workshop February 1-5, 2009 Institute for Advanced Study, the Hebrew University, Israel The large numbers of bilinguals in the world and widespread migrations of the 1990s, have led to dramatic increases in the number of children being raised in multilingual communities. Typically developing (TD) bilinguals often look like the children with Specific Language Impairment (SLI), creating methodological and clinical diagnostic confounds. Medical, language and educational professionals have limited test instruments to distinguish language impaired migrant children from those who will eventually catch up to their monolingual peers. As a result, folk wisdom reigns, often carrying the view that bilingual children with language disorders should be educated in a single language, usually not the language of the home. In recent years, several research groups have taken upon themselves to disentangle bilingualism and SLI by establishing the relative contribution of the each to impaired language performance. The deadline for abstract submission: November 15, 2008. Read the full call for papers at http://linguistlist.org/issues/19/19-3140.html .

Title: Article: Lessons in Intercultural Communication
Body: From http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/art/2008/10/142_32870.html Lessons in Intercultural Communication By Michael Ha October 17, 2008 When it comes to communicating across different cultures, understanding the language may be just the beginning. A leading intercultural communications expert said that the ability to "read between the lines" and understanding non-spoken expressions in various cultural contexts is also an important part of communication, one that's often overlooked when studying foreign languages. According to Park Myung-seok, professor emeritus at Dankook University, the English-education curriculum in Korean schools does not reflect this fact nearly enough. Park has written several books on the topic of intercultural communications. Most recently he co-edited a book, titled “Communicating Nonverbally: An Introduction to Nonverbal Communication."
