Title: Book: Handbook of Language and Communication: Diversity and Change
Body: From http://degruyter.de/cont/fb/sk/detailEn.cfm?id=IS-9783110214239-1 Handbook of Language and Communication: Diversity and Change Edited by Marlis Hellinger and Anne Pauwels Publisher: de Gruyter Summary: In line with the overall perspective of the Handbook series, the focus of Vol. 9 is on language-related problems arising in the context of linguistic diversity and change, and the contributions Applied Linguistics can offer for solutions. Part I, “Language minorities and inequality,” presents situations of language contact and linguistic diversity as worldwide phenomena. The focus is on indigenous and immigrant linguistic minorities, their (lack of) access to linguistic rights through language policies and the impact on their linguistic future. Part II “Language planning and language change,” focuses on the impact of colonialism, imperialism, globalization and economics as factors that language policies and planning measures must account for in responding to problems deriving from language contact and linguistic diversity. Part III, “Language variation and change in institutional contexts,” examines language-related problems in selected institutional areas of communication which will often derive from socioeconomic, cultural and other non-linguistic asymmetries. Part IV, “The discourse of linguistic diversity and language change,” analyses linguistic diversity, language change and language reform as issues of public debates which are informed by different ideological positions, values and attitudes.

Body: From http://www.c-s-p.org//Flyers/Speaking-of-Endangered-Languages--Issues-in-Revitalization1-4438-1238-2.htm Speaking of Endangered Languages: Issues in Revitalization Editor: Anne Marie Goodfellow Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing Speaking of Endangered Languages: Issues in Revitalization provides an overview of the current state of various indigenous languages around the world, describes some local responses to maintaining them, and in some cases suggests a reexamination of the goals and content of indigenous language retention programs. Each chapter presents a case study of a threatened language and possibilities for continued vitality through a description of the history of culture contact in a particular language community, early attempts at assimilationist-style education, the current language situation in the community, and recent local grassroots efforts at language revival and maintenance.

Title: Article: Second Language Teacher Education Today
Body: From http://www.nclrc.org The featured article of the NCLRC September 2009 newsletter is Second Language Teacher Education Today, by Jack C. Richards. Here is an excerpt: Language teaching is sometimes considered a solitary and private activity, something teachers do within the confines of their own classrooms. But this view of teaching fails to capitalize on the potential for learning and growth that comes from participating in a community of teachers having shared goals, values and interests.
