Title: ACTFL Discusses Foreign Language Policy with President-Elect Obama Transition Team
Body: From http://www.kwla-online.org In preparing for briefing President-elect Obama and his nominee for Secretary of Education on education issues, the Obama Transition Team contacted ACTFL recently for input on language education priorities and initiatives. ACTFL provided them with background information about the various federal language programs and the priorities that need to be addressed. “They have our legislative priorities position statement and are preparing a ‘roadmap’ of education programs for the incoming administration. We are hopeful that languages will play an important role in any education policies that President-Elect Obama pursues,” said ACTFL Executive Director Bret Lovejoy. The President-elect likely will announce his choice for Secretary of Education in the next couple of weeks.

Title: Book: Second Language Acquisition and the Younger Learner
Body: From http://www.benjamins.com/cgi-bin/t_bookview.cgi?bookid=LL%26LT%2023 Second Language Acquisition and the Younger Learner: Child's play? Edited by Jenefer Philp, Rhonda Oliver and Alison Mackey Publisher: John Benjamins Summary: This new volume of work highlights the distinctiveness of child SLA through a collection of different types of empirical research specific to younger learners. Characteristics of children’s cognitive, emotional, and social development distinguish their experiences from those of adult L2 learners, creating intriguing issues for SLA research, and also raising important practical questions regarding effective pedagogical techniques for learners of different ages. While child SLA is often typically thought of as simple (and often enjoyable and universally effortless), in other words, as “child’s play”, the complex portraits of young second language learners which emerge in the 16 papers collected in this book invite the reader to reconsider the reality for many younger learners. Chapters by internationally renowned authors together with reports by emerging researchers describe second and foreign language learning by children ranging from pre-schoolers to young adolescents, in home and school contexts, with caregivers, peers, and teachers as interlocutors.

The five chapters of the first part are dedicated to the first and second language acquisition of French in various settings: First language acquisition by normal children from a generative perspective and by children with Specific Language Impairment; second language acquisition in Canadian immersion settings, from a neurolinguistic approach to phonology and natural language processing and CALL.
