Dear Inkshedders and colleagues,
The *January 2104 Inkshed Newsletter *is now available at
www.inkshed.ca/blog/newsletter/january-2014-newsletter-2/.
<http://www.inkshed.ca/blog/newsletter/january-2014-newsletter-2/>
It starts with a link to the call for proposals for the Inkshed 30
conference, intriguingly titled "Taking Risks in Writing, Research, and
Teaching." That will happen in Waterloo, Ontario from May 27 to 29, just
after the CWCA and CASDW conferences down the road in St. Catharines.
Proposals are due by March 15. Follow the link to read more.
Then it offers three pieces for reading and reference:
* In preparation for the 2014 AGM, a list of current CASLL-L board
members. (*N.B.:* I'd also like to include the minutes of the 2013
AGM, so if you took them, or know who did, please let me know!)
* An article on Multilingual Learners by Theresa Hyland, building on
current theoretical ideas to formulate six practical teaching
strategies. The Reply box after the article invites you to respond
with your own comments and ideas---to do some online inkshedding, in
fact.
* Two poems by Carl Leggo about the miracle of pre-linguistic
communication between a child called Mirabelle and her grandfather.
While you're on the site, you may also want to look at the *September
2013 Inkshed Newsletter* at
www.inkshed.ca/blog/newsletter/september-2013-newsletter/.

**That issue was set up in the right month, but hoped-for contributions
didn't arrive, so I never declared it finished.
* But don't miss three more of Carl Leggo's witty and touching poems
about language and literacy.
* This issue also contains my report to the Inkshed AGM of June 2013,
in which I complained that nobody ever sent anything to the
newsletter. That's not quite true, obviously, but I would be
delighted to receive more evidence to the contrary.
Hoping to hear back from some of you with further contributions to keep
Inkshed Newsletters lively and stimulating,
Margaret Procter
Moderator, Inkshed Newsletter/Website
