Title: Book: Input Matters in SLA
Body: From http://www.multilingual-matters.com/display.asp?isb=9781847691095 Input Matters in SLA Edited by Thorsten Piske and Martha Young-Scholten Publisher: Multilingual Matters Summary: This volume bridges the knowledge gap between second language acquisition researchers and second language pedagogy professionals in its focus on a topic of mutual interest: input. The reader-friendly contributions from seasoned researchers including Stephen Krashen, Bill VanPatten and new voices offer a wide range of existing and new perspectives on the matter of input. A rare feature of this book is that it includes extensive coverage by experts including James Flege and Alene Moyer of the acquisition of the sound system of a second language, where input seems to matter most. Those who are just making their acquaintance with second language acquisition research or updating their knowledge will find the editors' introductory chapter on past and current issues in the field particularly useful.

Title: New Book: Learning to be Literate
Body: From http://www.multilingual-matters.com/display.asp?isb=9781847690609 Learning to be Literate: Multilingual Perspectives Author: Viv Edwards Publisher: Multilingual Matters Summary: This textbook brings together research on literacy and multilingualism from a variety of settings: the learning of English in migrant destinations, immersion and bilingual education, and the maintenance of heritage languages. Designed to be accessible to students from a wide range of disciplines, the book explores multilingualism as a global phenomenon at both the individual and societal level, and literacy learning in a wide variety of contexts, and uses both these discussions to explore the theoretical and policy issues which are behind current educational practice, and points to possible ways forward. Students are introduced to examples of innovative and best practice from a range of international contexts, and discussion points and suggested activities encourage them to build on their own experiences as language learners. This is an ideal introductory text for students on courses where a critical understanding on language in education is necessary, as well as being a useful summary of the field and its future directions for researchers, practitioners and policy makers.
