| Title | Call for Session Proposals: Heritage Languages in America 2005 |
| Body | Research, Innovation and Policy in the Preservation of LCTLs in America January 6-8, 2005 Mission Valley Doubletree Hotel San Diego, California Featured speakers at the conference will include: - Scott McGinnis (Defense Language Institute), keynote speaker - Mimi Met (Center for Applied Linguistics) - Olga Kagan (UCLA) The first National Conference on Preservation of LCTLs welcomes proposals for papers and symposium on all aspects of the less commonly taught languages program development. Papers and symposium may report on language-specific research and materials development, professional development models, analysis of national and state educational policies and barriers to implementation of programs of the less commonly taught languages. The mission of the conference is to address the preservation and learning of heritage languages, at all instructional and institutional levels, and in all the many national and state contexts in which this takes place. The conference aims to bring together language educators and policy makers from these many contexts to discuss and share research, theory, and best practices and to initiate and sustain meaningful professional dialogue across languages, levels, and settings. The conference will focus on the following six broad themes: * Distance/distributed learning administration, infrastructure, and course delivery; * National policy and advocacy for world languages; * Online interactions and community; * Electronic resources for educators; * Innovative research in language acquisition; and * Teacher preparation and certification for less and least commonly taught languages. Proposals are more likely to be accepted if they address one of these themes. The deadline for submission of proposals for papers and symposium is November 30, 2004.
