• Understand seminal research findings on students’ second language acquisition and learner language use;
• Create and use unrehearsed interactive oral activities to create contexts where learner language can develop;
• Identify possible causes of error in learner language;
• Analyze learner language in terms of its accuracy, fluency, and complexity; and
• Create interactive group activities requiring critical thinking about academic content to help students increase the complexity of their learner language.

The thematic focus of the 2019 Workshop is “Digital Humanities and Visual Resources: The Material and Digital Lives of Eastern European and Russian Artifacts.”

The four-day event will combine short instructional sessions, keynote lectures, works-in-progress presentations by participants, and free time for individual research with optional consultations with workshop instructors. The event will also include a day spent at the Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers University, home of the renowned Russian & Soviet Nonconformist Art collection.

The instructional sessions on DH tools and methods will be aimed at beginning, intermediate and more advanced audiences. Possible workshop topics (to be finalized with input from accepted participants) include: structured metadata design, linked open data, OmekaS (https://omeka.org/s/), computer vision for visual source analysis, and the International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF) (https://iiif.io/). 

All scholars working the Slavic and East European fields— faculty, postdocs, librarians, archivists, technologists, graduate students and undergraduates—are eligible to apply. No previous experience in digital humanities is necessary.

A particular aim of the Slavic DH Summer Workshop is to foster international collaborations and strategic discussions about the infrastructures needed to promote Slavic and East European digital humanities scholarship in the global context.

We hope to offer at least partial funding for accepted workshop participants, but funding is not guaranteed.

Title: Leadership Initiative for Language Learning
Body:

From https://www.actfl.org/assessment-professional-development/lill

The Leadership Initiative for Language Learning is based on the premise that every educator is a leader and strives to be highly effective. For language educators, effectiveness is demonstrated by evidence of learners’ growth in proficiency, including their growth in interculturality. This initiative aims to bring the best and brightest language educators, teacher leaders, and national experts to explore this issue and others important to you and the language organization naming you as an Emerging Leader. As an Emerging Leader, you will have the opportunity to discover your sphere of influence for effecting change, engage with peers, and create your own proactive plan in support of the organizing naming you to participate, while growing in your effectiveness as a leader and language teacher. LILL is a two-year commitment for this new cohort of Emerging Leaders, agreeing to participate in two summer institutes: June 2019 and June 2020.

The 2019 institute will take place June 24-26 in Franklin, Tennessee. To be nominated to attend, you must be selected by your state, regional, or national professional organization.
