I teach SLA at both undergrad and MA level. As texts to provide a good
historical overview of the history of SLA research I can recommend Rod
Ellis 2008 The Study of Second Language Acquisition (2nd edition), Oxford:
Oxford University Press, Rosamund Mitchell and Florence Myles 2012: Second
Language Learning Theories, Routledge. As you are concerned with PhD
students who may want to delve deeper into the current debates surrounding
SLA I would start with the 1997 article by Firth and Wagner
On Discourse, Communication, and (Some) Fundamental Concepts in SLA
Research in Modern Language Journal Vol. 81, No. 3 (Autumn, 1997), pp.
285-300. I would also consider the responses to this article and the 2007
special edition of the Modern Language Journal which reviews developments
(or lack of) brought about by the original Firth and Wagner article. I
don't have the details to hand, but a quick google search will find it.
I know this is straying into socio/socio-cognitive aspects of SLA, but I
would also recommend David Block, the Social Turn in Second Language
Acquisition as it also provides a comprehensive overview of
psycholinguistic/cognitive approaches before introducing the social aspect.
Finally, to bring the suggestions right up to date, I would consider SLA as
a dynamic and/or complex system. Try Larsen-Freeman and Cameron, Complex
Systems and Applied Linguistics 2010 (Oxford) and articles by de Bot, Lowie
and Verspoor on Dynamic Systems Theory. Again, I don't have the citations
to hand, but you'll find them on google.
Hope that helps

Perhaps PhD students can figure out how to apply "linguistics" to the big
new initiative in US education called "common core". Under teaching
"phonetics" the only application is in k-1. Do they even know what
"phonetics" is. My take is that the only answer is truespel phonetics,
which is the only English-based phonetic notation simple enough for kids in
k-1. It then is not to be forgotten but expanded to replace dictionary
keys as a notation that can actually be useful because it's keyboard and
English friendly.
How "phonetics"
applied in the US common core education plan? See
http://justpaste.it/comcoreenglish . Note that it's notmentioned in the
"reading" or "writing" sections but in the
"language" section for k-1 and nowhere else. See below Kindergarten -
CCSS.ELA-Literacy.L.K.2d Spell simple words phonetically, drawing on
knowledge
of sound-letter relationships.First grade -
CCSS.ELA-Literacy.L.1.2e Spell untaught words phonetically, drawing on
phonemic
awareness and spelling conventions.

Dear Colleagues,
I am in the process of compiling a reading list for doctoral students in
SLA from an applied linguistics/ psycho/sociolinguistics perspective.Any
nominations you suggest would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your collaboration,
Miriam

Full Title: Diversity, Plurilingualism and Their Impact on Language Testing
and Assessment
Short Title: IATEFL TEASIG
Date: 22-Nov-2013 - 23-Nov-2013
Location: Siena, Italy
Contact Person: Zeynep Urkun
Meeting Email: zeynepu at sabanciuniv.edu
Web Site: http://tea.iatefl.org/
Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics
Call Deadline: 16-Aug-2013
Meeting Description:
Nowadays linguistic and cultural diversity are key features of the global
world. Furthermore, easier and increasing mobility and easier international
and intra-national communication affect language uses that are more and
more diverse and multi/plurilingual.
But, what has been the impact of this on language testing? In what ways can
multi/plurilingualism be taken in consideration in language testing?
Should the emergent nature of social interaction in ethnolinguistically
diverse educational and other settings be reflected in the notion of
communicative competence(s) that underpins construct validity?
Which are the implications for potential mis-recognition or
under-recognition of 'competence' in actual communication in a rapidly
changing communication and language landscape?
The aim of this conference is to look at how professionals in the field
have addressed these issues, and to exchange ideas on how different
constituencies can cooperate in order to improve testing and assessment
practice(s).
Plenary speakers will be: Professor John de Jong, (VU University
Amsterdam/Pearson), Dr Nick Saville, (Cambridge English Language
Assessments, UK), Dr Diane Schmitt (Nottingham Trent University, UK) and
Professor Elana Shohamy, Tel Aviv University, UK.
You can find more information on the venue and the event, as well as Call
for Proposals and the Registration Form at the TEA SIG website at
http://tea.iatefl.org/.
You can register online using this link:
https://secure.iatefl.org/events/step1.php?event_id=69.
The sessions will be held at the University for Foreigners of Siena,
conveniently located in front of the railway station, near the city centre.
(www.unistrasi.it).
Siena can be easily reached by plane either from Florence Airport or Pisa
airport, as well as by train from many locations in Italy and Europe.
We are also happy to announce that the following hotels are offering
discounts to our delegates:

multi/plurilingualism in language testing.
We invite proposals covering the themes of:
- Language competence(s) in mobility
- Multilingual testing
- Assessing intercultural competence
- Assessing English as lingua franca
- Language assessment for social integration for migrants
The deadline for proposals is August 16, 2013. The Speaker Proposal form

Hi again, Miriam!
It may only be a modest contribution, but I took a course on SLA on the
Spring 2012, and we used the following texts, in order of importance:
* Ortega, L. (2009) Understanding second language acquisition. London:
Hodder Education
* Mitchell, R. and Myles, F. (2004) Second language learning theories (2nd
ed.) New York: Hodder Arnold
* Gass, S. m., and Selinker, L. (2008) Second language acquisition: an
introductory course New York: Routledge
* Ellis, R. (2008) The study of second language acquisition (2nd ed.)
Oxford: OUP
I hope they work! We're in touch, and have a good day!
