Call for Proposals
Sixth International Conference on Immersion and Dual Language Education: Connecting Research and Practice Across Contexts
October 20–22, 2016
Hyatt Regency Hotel
Minneapolis, MN

CARLA is currently seeking proposals for papers, discussion sessions, laptop poster sessions, and symposia on aspects of immersion and dual language education related to four conference strands:

Strand 1: Immersion Pedagogy and Assessment
Strand 2: Culture, Identity, and Community
Strand 3: Program Design and Evaluation, Leadership, and Educator Development
Strand 4: Policy, Advocacy, and Communications

In addition to basic, applied, and evaluation research, conference organizers welcome a range of practitioner perspectives including those of immersion and dual language teachers, administrators, curriculum coordinators, pedagogical coaches, parents, and specialists who work in these programs. Paper/best practice sessions, discussion sessions, and symposia may report on data-based research, theoretical and conceptual analyses, or best practices in immersion and dual language classrooms. Laptop poster sessions for graduate students (MA/PhD level) will offer opportunities for informal, face-to-face discussions of research. Teacher “swapshop” sessions will provide an opportunity for teachers to exchange and share ideas and successful lessons and practices with one another in grade-level groups.

Submission deadline: February 1, 2016.
