Title: Boston Students Struggle with English-only Rule
Body: From http://www.boston.com/news/education/k_12/articles/2009/04/07/boston_students_struggle_with_english_only_rule Boston students struggle with English-only rule Many nonnatives quit the system By James Vaznis April 7, 2009 Students not fluent in English have floundered in Boston schools since voters approved a law change six years ago requiring school districts to teach them all subjects in English rather than their native tongue, according to a report being released tomorrow. In one of the most striking findings, the study found that the high school dropout rate nearly doubled for students still learning to speak and write in English, according to the report by the Mauricio Gastón Institute for Latino Community Development and Public Policy at the University of Massachusetts at Boston and the Center for Collaborative Education.

Title: More Than 130 Teachers of English as a New Language Achieve National Board Certification
Body: The National Board for Professional Teaching Standards has announced that more than 130 teachers of English as a New Language recently achieved National Board Certification, the highest credential in the teaching profession. The 2008 achievement brings the total number of teachers who earned certification in this field over time to more than 900. This announcement comes several months after the National Research Council affirmed that National Board Certification has had a positive impact on student achievement, teacher retention and professional development. In the most rigorous and comprehensive study to date about National Board Certification, the NRC found that students taught by National Board Certified Teachers make higher gains on achievement tests than students taught by teachers who have not applied and those who did not achieve certification.

Title: Article and Resources: Wikis in the World Language Classroom
Body: From http://cmwikipaper.wikispaces.com Wikis in the World Language Classroom: Transforming Teaching, Learning, & Teacher Preparation with Technology by Cherice Montgomery, Michigan State University Last revision: May 29, 2008 Abstract: This paper explores the use of a wiki as a tool for developing literacies that initiate, implement, and sustain transformative educational and social change in preservice teachers, world language methods courses, teacher preparation programs, and the K-12 schools they serve. Wikis can serve as mediating tools that draw "technological pedagogical content knowledge" (Mishra & Koehler, 2006) into a single actionable frame, helping teachers to consider students’ perspectives more carefully. Wiki use can also spur critical consideration of personal pedagogy, as well as issues such as curriculum, authority, access, ethics, knowledge, and power. By doing so, wikis have the potential to transform teaching and learning. Access this article and associated information at http://cmwikipaper.wikispaces.com .

Title: Book: Using Priming Methods in Second Language Research
Body: From http://www.routledge.com/books/Using-Priming-Methods-in-Second-Language-Research-isbn9780805862553 Using Priming Methods in Second Language Research By Kim McDonough, Pavel Trofimovich Publisher: Routledge Summary: Using Priming Methods in Second Language Research is an accessible introduction to the use of auditory, semantic, and syntactic priming methods for second language (L2) processing and acquisition research. It provides a guide for the use, design, and implementation of priming tasks and an overview of how to analyze and report priming research. Key principles about auditory, semantic, and syntactic priming are introduced, and issues for L2 researchers to consider when designing priming studies are pointed out. Empirical studies that have adopted priming methods are highlighted to illustrate the application of experimental techniques from psychology to L2 processing and acquisition research. Each chapter concludes with follow-up questions and activities that provide additional reinforcement of the chapter content, while the final chapter includes data sets that can be used to practice the statistical tests commonly used with priming data.
