Body: From http://spanish.about.com In most Spanish-speaking countries, the letter c has two sounds that are very different from each other.

Title: Salt Lake City School Doesn't Segregate English Language Learners, Probe Finds
Body: From http://www.sltrib.com/education/ci_13458224 Salt Lake City school doesn't segregate, probe finds But Glendale Middle School vows better instruction for immigrants, refugees. By Kirsten Stewart October 1, 2009 Glendale Middle School's "newcomers" program earned a passing grade from federal investigators who say the program's immigrant and refugee students are "not unduly segregated" from the rest of the school. Under a resolution agreement with the U.S. Department of Education Office of Civil Rights (OCR), however, Salt Lake City School District will develop "objective" criteria for ensuring that students who are placed in the program are a good fit for it, and don't linger there. Like many schools nationwide, Glendale operates a "newcomers" program to ease non-English-speaking students into mainstream classes. Newcomers are separated from the regular student body much of the day, enjoying specialized language instruction and smaller class sizes.

Title: Activity Idea: Mr. Lazy- Giving Advice
Body: From http://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/try Through the use of chants, grammar can be introduced in a young learner-friendly context with the added benefit of attention to natural pronunciation features such as rhythm and stress. This lesson is an attempt to introduce the use of ‘should’ and ‘shouldn’t’ in a fun, engaging and meaningful way. However, it can easily be adapted to introduce a variety of structures by creating your own simple chants.

Body: The U.S. Department of Education will spend $29 million over the next five years to enhance and operate the ERIC digital library of education literature, which offers free access to a broad array of scholarly materials. ERIC is the world's largest and most frequently used digital library of education, containing more than 1.3 million bibliographic records indexed from 1966 to the present. Its website (http://eric.ed.gov) provides free access to the ERIC digital library, which received more than 40 million visits in 2008 from educators, researchers, and the general public. New enhancements included in this five-year contract include: - Collaboration with the agency's library to digitize and process archival materials related to the history of the Department, such as early 20th century records from the Commissioner of Education - Enhanced online submission format allowing Department of Education grantees and contractors to easily submit reports and related published research - Establishment of a Library Committee, composed of school, academic, and special librarians who will recommend journals and sources, changes to the ERIC Thesaurus, and services and outreach - Optical Character Recognition (OCR) of 486,000 digitized microfiche documents to ensure universal access The ERIC website provides an alphabetical list of more than 984 journals currently indexed in the digital library. Other materials-including research syntheses, conference papers, technical reports, and policy papers -are also indexed from more than 760 sources. More than 20 percent of the collection is full-text materials. ERIC, one of the longest-running services offered by the department of education, is part of the National Library of Education in the Institute of Education Sciences.

Title: Book: Acquisition of Word Order in Chinese as a Foreign Language
Body: From http://linguistlist.org/issues/20/20-3252.html Acquisition of Word Order in Chinese as a Foreign Language by Wenying Jiang Publisher:: de Gruyter Summary: Experience with Chinese L2 learning and teaching shows that Chinese word order errors are a significant problem with adult English-speaking learners. However, Chinese L2 researchers and teachers are left with no means to adequately describe and explain these errors for instruction purposes. This book is specifically written to provide such a means for them to understand Chinese word order, to describe and explain Chinese word order errors and also to help treat such errors in L2 classrooms. The centrality of word order in Chinese grammar and the emerging popularity of learning Chinese L2 make this book an important resource for both the learner and the teacher.
