| Body | South Asian Languages Teachers' Association (SALTA) Business Meeting at NCOLCTL 2006 in Madison WI In response to shared enthusiasm and desire to revive SALTA, a business meeting has been scheduled to take place at the National Organization of Less Commonly Taught Languages Ninth National Conference: Saturday April 29th 11am-1:00pm Conference Room 5 Madison Concourse Hotel 1 Dayton Street Madison, WI For more information check the NCOLCTL conference website www.councilnet.org/conf/conf2006/2006-announce.htm . Please note that the deadline for early registration for the NCOLCTL 2006 meeting is Monday March 27th. Interested SAL instructors should seek support for this meeting from their departments, since SALTA is not able to provide support at this time. The discussion of the agenda and all the issues related to SALTA's revival will be shared on the listservs and thus include in this dialogue anyone who was not able to go, but is willing to be involved. Below are some of the issues on the agenda of our meeting: 1. Need for instructional package to support SAL instruction: a) gather, evaluate and organize existing materials b) provide pedagogical frameworks for their use c) complement the existing ones with newer and more interactive ones 2. Need for training: a) workshops with short term goals - program specific training - curriculum and syllabus design b) workshops with long term goals - training beyond the framework of a specific course - work with authentic materials, integrating language and content, developing content-based materials, practical tasks and projects for the classroom 3. Need for a newsletter/bulletin as a forum for discussion, outreach and coordination of efforts: a) format b) content c) editing 4. Planning of future events and grant applications.
