M., Frota, S. N., & Yoshioka, J. K. (Eds.) This volume celebrates the life and groundbreaking work of Richard Schmidt, the developer of the influential Noticing Hypothesis in the field of second language acquisition. The 19 chapters encompass a compelling collection of cutting-edge research studies exploring such constructs as noticing, attention, and awareness from multiple perspectives, which expand, fine tune, sometimes support, and sometimes challenge Schmidt’s seminal ideas and take research on noticing in exciting new directions. 2) Practical Assessment Tools for College Japanese by Kondo-Brown, K., Brown, J. D., & Tominaga, W. (Eds.) Each of the 21 modules presents a practical assessment idea that can be adopted or adapted for the reader’s own formative or summative assessment of their Japanese language learners. For ease of use, each module is organized in approximately the same way including background information, aims, levels, assessment times, resources, procedures, caveats and options, references, and other appended information. 3) Language Learning & Technology, Volume 17, Number 3 (October 2013) - Special Issue on Mobile-Assisted Language Learning Guest Editors - Susana Sotillo and Glenn Stockwell 4) Reading in a Foreign Language, Volume 25, Number 2 (October 2013) For more information on each, visit the NFLRC website: http://nflrc.hawaii.edu<http://nflrc.hawaii.edu/> -- Jim Yoshioka Program Coordinator ************************************************************ National Foreign Language Resource Center University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa 1859 East-West Road #106 Honolulu, HI 96822-2322 Phone: 808-956-9424<tel:808-956-9424> Email: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Website: http://nflrc.hawaii.edu<http://nflrc.hawaii.edu/> NFLRC Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/NFLRC/ NFLRC Twitter page: http://www.twitter.com/NFLRC/ NFLRC YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/nflrchawaii ************************************************************ ************************************************************************** LLTI is a service of IALLT, the International Association for Language Learning Technologies (http://iallt.org/), and The Consortium for Language Teaching and Learning (http://www.languageconsortium.org/).
