"Welcome to the ItalNet publication of the Opera del Vocabolario Italiano (OVI) textual database. The production database contains 1849 vernacular texts (21.2 million words, 479,000 unique forms) the majority of which are dated prior to 1375, the year of Boccaccio's death.

In writing my paper for the upcoming GloCALL Conference, I thought it would be useful to provide a bibliography of the many sources I came across while conducting a literature review. The irony is that the list below doesn't include blog posts themselves, as I have treated those as primary sources rather than secondary. I have also excluded more "general" articles on blogging in trying to retain a focus on second language learning (although a couple of works, such as danah boyd's article, slipped through because they present excellent arguments and provide a theoretical basis for BALL analysis).

The French Heritage Language Program was created in 2005 by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and received additional support from the Alfred & Jane Ross Foundation. It is designed to support and enrich the teaching and learning of French language, literature, and culture for students of Francophone background enrolled in New York City public schools. The primary objectives of the program are to help these students develop proficiency in French (reading comprehension, writing, oral expression and other literacy skills), and keep a connection to their respective cultures and identities, while increasing their opportunities for success in their new environment. Through university partnerships, this project also hopes to contribute to scholarly research in the field of heritage language learning. As a pilot program, it is a place for pedagogical and methodological exploration, and a way to build new partnerships. We seek to develop curriculum models that can be replicated and adapted in other cities in the United States, in France as well as in other countries. The French Heritage Language Program works closely with the Internationals Network for Public Schools, which includes nine high schools for new immigrants in New York City and one in Oakland, California, all working at the development of models for global education.

Welcome to The Golden Notebook Project. Start reading the book online → Here are answers to some common questions: What is this? It's an experiment in close-reading in which seven women are reading the book and conducting a conversation in the margins. The project went live on Monday 10 November 2008. Why are you doing it? It's part of a long-term effort to encourage and enable a culture of collaborative learning. What do you hope to learn? We don't yet understand how to model a complex conversation in the web's two-dimensional environment and we're hoping this experiment will help us learn some of what we need to do to make this sort of collaboration as successful as possible.
