There are 42 video lessons in the SALSA series. Salsa is broadcast on Georgia Public Broadcasting, and the series is also available for sale.

She already speaks both Arabic and Somali and is one of several new ELL students in Grand Forks this year. In Grand Forks, the number of ELL students has increased by about 40 from last year, to about 110, and growing. In many cases, the children are the only ones in the family who speak English. Families need to be educated on the U.S. culture and learn to acclimate themselves to society in a new place. Many of the children and families are just thankful to have survived the challenges they’ve faced – challenges most children here have never dreamed of.

Title: New Book: Bilingual First Language Acquisition
Body: From http://www.multilingual-matters.com/display.asp?isb=9781847691484 Bilingual First Language Acquisition Author: Annick De Houwer Publisher: Multilingual Matters Summary: Increasingly, children grow up hearing two languages from birth. This comprehensive textbook explains how children learn to understand and speak those languages. It brings together both established knowledge and the latest findings about different areas of bilingual language development. It also includes new analyses of previously published materials. Positive attitudes from the people in bilingual children's language learning environments and their recognition that child bilingualism is not monolingualism-times-two are the main ingredients ensuring that children grow up to be happy and expert speakers of two languages.
