Very interesting stuff. Barb Garner ___________________________ Hi. CALPRO is currently collaborating with NCSALL and Portland State University’s Lab School on a project called the Northwest Practitioner Knowledge Institute. One part of this project is for practitioners to take research coming out of the lab school and to see what the implications might be in the classroom. Here in California we have two teachers involved in this. The first is revisiting how she organizes pair work and student-to-student interaction in the classroom. The second is implementing a modified sustained silent reading period in her ESL class. I have created a blog (web log) spot to give people an idea of what is happening. The general blog has links to relevant sites, and a list of on-line resources about pair work/interaction in second language acquisition and a list of on-line resources related to sustained silent reading. Each of the projects has their own blogs, where the teachers are going to post updates throughout the project. Here are the addresses: Main Northwest Practitioner Knowledge Institute blog: http://calprointeractive.blogspot.com/ Project #1 - Pair Work: http://calpronwpkipairwork.blogspot.com/ Project #2 – Sustained Silent Reading: http://calpronwpkimssr.blogspot.com/ As with most blogs, there is room for readers to post comments. I would encourage you to do so (either to me at the main page, or to the project blogs). We are in the early stages of this, so any feedback will be helpful.
