| Title | Call for Papers: Cultures and Languages Across the Curriculum |
| Body | From: http://intl-programs.uiowa.edu/projects/CLAC_info.htm November 5-6, 2005 Hosted by The University of Iowa, International Programs in collaboration with Binghamton University We invite papers, presentations or posters that address any of the following topics: 1) LAC (Languages Across the Curriculum) and Content-Based Language Learning What are the intersections between LAC and content-based language learning theories and practices? Issues of importance here include the use of "authentic" texts and the development of FL/LAC textbooks, software, and web-based resources. 2) Cultures and Languages Across the Curriculum How can LAC programs highlight culture and cross-cultural communication and interpretation? Can we use improvements in cross-cultural competence as a "hook" for future language study and the adoption of LAC methods? 3) Business and Government Models of Internationalization To what extent can we differentiate the internationalization needs of business (the "metropolitan migrant" model?) and defense or diplomacy (the "expert" model?). How are their different needs met (or not) by the academy? How might we adapt LAC to fulfill varying needs? 4) LAC in the Context of Comparative, Cultural, and Area Studies What are the intersections between Comparative Literature, Cultural Studies, Area Studies, and LAC? Can these fields of study "meet" through the agency of LAC? 5) LAC and International Education Articulation How can LAC be incorporated into K-12 education? How can LAC be used as a "switch" between formal language study in the U.S. and the use of languages in education abroad?
