| Title | 2005 Georgetown University Round Table on Languages and Linguistics |
| Body | From conference website: http://www.georgetown.edu/events/gurt/2005/ Dates: March 10-13, 2005 The Faculty of Languages and Linguistics at Georgetown University is pleased to announce the 2005 Georgetown University Round Table on Languages and Linguistics (GURT 2005). The theme of the conference is: EDUCATING FOR ADVANCED FOREIGN LANGUAGE CAPACITIES: CONSTRUCTS, CURRICULUM, INSTRUCTION, ASSESSMENT. It will take place on the campus of Georgetown University, Washington, DC, from Thursday evening, March 10, to Sunday, noon, March 13, 2005. (Pre conference workshops will start Thursday morning, March 10.) GURT 2005 will focus on all aspects of instructed foreign language learning to advanced levels. Recently this topic has been the focus of considerable concern in society at large. It is also beginning to attract the interest of scholars exploring use-oriented theories of language, of researchers who want to expand the horizons of the field of second/foreign language acquisition research, particularly by adult learners, and of professionals and practitioners who are concerned with effective instructional approaches toward advanced levels of use in diverse educational settings. Central strands for the conference are: * theories of language for learning and teaching a foreign language to advanced levels * curriculum construction in support of advanced foreign language acquisition * instructional approaches that foster advanced-level foreign language capacities, from the standpoint of the learner and the teacher * assessment of advanced foreign language abilities, both within a programmatic environment and outside of it. |
