Title: Book: Paper to Practice: Using the TESOL English Language Proficiency Standards in PreK-12 Classrooms
Body: From http://www.tesol.org/s_tesol/sec_document.asp?CID=282&DID=12060&rcss=print Paper to Practice: Using the TESOL English Language Proficiency Standards in PreK–12 Classrooms Authors: Margo Gottlieb, Anne Katz, and Gisela Ernst-Slavit Publisher: TESOL Paper to Practice: Using the TESOL English Language Proficiency Standards in PreK–12 Classrooms offers sound advice and practical steps for confronting these challenges. As a companion to TESOL’s 2006 PreK–12 English Language Proficiency Standards, Paper to Practice illustrates how the TESOL standards can function as a starting point for action in all classrooms serving English language learners. Paper to Practice is organized in two sections. Section I, on how to approach the standards, analyzes the language of school, elaborates on the components of the TESOL English language proficiency standards, and examines how the standards exemplify the academic language required for student achievement. Section II, on how to implement standards-based instruction and assessment, encourages collaboration among educators in their efforts to use the English language proficiency standards in developing meaningful curricula and instructional practices for English language learners.

Title: Book: The Advanced Learner Variety: The Case of French
Body: From http://www.peterlang.com/Index.cfm?vLang=D&vSiteID=4&vSiteName=BookDetail.cfm&VID=11072 The Advanced Learner Variety: The Case of French Editors: Emmanuelle Labeau and Florence Myles Publisher: Peter Lang Verlagsgruppe Description: This volume originates from a workshop entitled 'Revisiting advanced varieties in L2 learning' organized by the editors at Aston University (Birmingham, UK) in June 2006. It consists of a peer-reviewed selection of the best contributions. This volume brings together recent research exploring advanced learner capabilities as well as possible explanations for the difficulties for the L2 learner of French. Additionally, one of the areas which has received considerable attention in the French L2 literature on advanced learners, tense and aspect, is also explored from the point of view of French learners of English, to explore any parallels. In presenting this research, the book clarifies the concept of the advanced learner: how does s/he differ from native speakers and why?

Title: Language Learning and Technology Call for Papers, Special Issue
Body: Call for Papers for Special Issue of LLT Theme: Multilateral Online Exchanges for Language and Culture Learning Guest Editors: Tim Lewis, Thierry Chanier, and Bonnie Youngs Telecollaborative partnerships for language and culture learning have evolved rapidly in the past decade. Recent years have witnessed a number of multi-partner exchanges, known as Tridems, or Multidems. Multilateral exchanges reflect the changing needs of language learners in globalized societies, where prolonged and intensive face-to-face contact with a second -often geographically proximate- culture has been replaced by more fleeting encounters with a range of world languages and cultures, which may well take place in a virtual environment. For this special issue, we are seeking papers that address issues of language and culture learning in multilateral exchanges. Papers should be grounded in a theoretical framework that formulates research hypotheses and then seeks to confirm or disconfirm them by following an appropriate research methodology (http://llt.msu.edu/resguide.html ). Papers should also present data on actual language and culture-learning outcomes. Possible topics for submissions include but are not limited to: * Language- and culture-learning outcomes of online exchanges between learners and institutions from outside traditional areas such as Europe and North America. * Investigations of the sociolinguistic impact of exchanges involving differences of status between partner languages. * Evidence of learners' reflection on themselves and their own culture that addresses questions such as the intra-cultural and intercultural relationships between participants and how culture is negotiated. * Impact of technology on language or culture learning, e.g., in monomodal vs. multimodal exchanges, roles of synchronous vs. asynchronous media, etc. * Studies of different types of data from multilateral intercultural learning partnerships that can be used to analyse the nature of online intercultural competence and, most importantly, to measure gains in intercultural competence. * Studies of the impact of participants' prior intercultural learning experiences and possible benefits of post-exchange follow-up. * Studies of the influence of different patterns of learning, teaching styles, and combinations of media use in multilateral online exchanges. * Evidence of peer tutoring in multilateral intercultural partnerships. * Development of learner corpora based on data from multilateral exchanges. Please send an email of intent with a 250-word abstract by 31st May 2009 to llt-editors@hawaii.edu. Horn, E. LLT Call for Papers, Special Issue.
