| Title | Immersion Symposium |
| Body | From: "Laura Franklin" September 19-20, 2003 GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY Intercultural Center 37th and O Street NW Washington, DC 20057 The GWATFL/NCLRC Immersion Symposium is a two-day event that will focus on foreign language immersion and content-based language instruction. Plans are in the works for a Friday evening keynote address and networking session followed by concurrent sessions on Saturday morning. Saturday afternoon will consist of a special program highlighting the work of students in immersion programs. The Friday program will be graciously hosted by the Embassy of France. Saturday's events will be hosted by the National Capital Language Resource Center at nearby Georgetown University. On Saturday, September 20, 2003, the Greater Washington Association of Teachers of Foreign Languages (GWATFL) will host a number of target-language sessions designed to appeal to faculty involved with AP classes, IB programs, advanced language courses, as well as college and university-level programs. GWATFL seeks sessions, in the target language, that emphasize content rather than methodology, giving participants an immersion experience that will broaden their perspective and enhance their teaching at the same time. Some sample ideas include the correspondence between art and literature, multi-sensory approaches to a certain writer, artist or musician, sessions that focus on cinema, content-based topics, and sessions related to heritage learners. Interactive sessions are encouraged. The reading of papers is discouraged. Sessions that will reach a wide audience, particularly those that will appeal both to secondary and higher education will be given the highest consideration.
