Title: Article: Reading Champ's First Language Is Arabic
Body: From http://www.azstarnet.com/sn/education/291277.php Reading champ's first language is Arabic By Andrea Rivera May 3, 2009 What's so remarkable about Sarra Said's love of books is that she couldn't speak a word of English when she and her family arrived in Tucson almost two years ago from Tripoli, Libya. Sarra's quest to read more than 1 million words is part of the English Language Development Department's "Million Word Challenge." Department Chairwoman Jayne Huseby and her staff started the challenge three years ago to change the culture of reading among the English language learners at Amphi. Students in the department have read a combined 18.5 million words since October. Read the full article at http://www.azstarnet.com/sn/education/291277.php .

Title: Virtual Worlds and Second Languages
Body: From http://philp.de/blog/?p=23 Two and three dimensional worlds offer great platforms for language acquisitions due to their characteristics to simulate total immersion. Increased bandwidth and powerful computers have enabled these virtual worlds to become multi-player environments and this means that one can literally meet people from around the world from the comfort of the office or from home. AVALON, which stands for ‘Access to Virtual and Action Learning live ONline’, is about language learning in Second Life and is just about to begin its 2-year development with 26 partners in 8 European countries, 11 of whom are Universities. --- Here is the Avalon Ning URL and the Avalon Second Life SLURL: Ning: http://avalon-project.ning.com SL: http://slurl.com/secondlife/AVALON%20Learning/80/224/41 --- CALICO has already set up a Virtual Worlds Special Interest Group (VW SIG): http://colanmc.siu.edu/virtualworlds EUROCALL already has a headquarters building in Second Life, on the EduNation III island at http://slurl.com/secondlife/EduNation%20III/9/29/22 CALICO has now acquired the land immediately next door and will shortly be building its headquarters there, linked to the EUROCALL HQ, thus creating a significant presence in Second Life for teachers and learners of foreign languages. This new joint HQ in Second Life will be available for: --social gatherings --virtual meeting space --virtual classroom space --and anything else they can create! CALICO and EUROCALL are also currently collecting a number of resources that will be available on the site (some of these are already there), including: --Items for newbies (those new to Virtual Worlds) --classroom resources --building resources --landmarks (SL equivalent of Internet bookmarks) --scripts (to make things "do" stuff in SL) --and more!
