| Title | Access to Language Education Award for Websites |
| Body | CALICO, Lernu.net and the Esperantic Studies Foundation are pleased to announce the fifth annual Access to Language Education Award, for a web site offering exceptional international access to language learning resources. The website chosen for the Award will be recognized at CALICO's Annual Symposium Banquet, and presented the Award certificate and a $250 prize/honorarium. Cost-free sites created and/or maintained by current CALICO members are eligible for the Access to Language Education award (ALE). Nominated sites will be judged on the breadth and depth of available resources in support of language learning, meeting some or all of the following criteria. 1. Ease of access and range of accessibility: Web-based learning resources accessible by individual language learners from varying cultural, linguistic and geographic backgrounds. 2. Versatility of the resources: For learners of various ages (adolescent, university student, and/or adult self-learner) and educational goals (conversation, business, literature, preparation for language competence certification, etc.). Resources addressing varied learning styles and offering diverse types of learning activities and tasks. 3. Breadth of the resources: Materials to help students to progress from the beginning level of language learning to moderate levels of language proficiency. Sites which aggregate and annotate language learning resources available on other sites. Materials for learning more than one language will be considered a plus. CALICO members may submit nominations for their own web sites, or those of other CALICO members (with their consent). Nominations should include: A) a brief paragraph describing the nature and purpose of the web site, B) contact information of the CALICO member who is the web site's developer/maintainer (name, email address, and telephone number), C) the URL of the web site, D) A one-page (or less) discussion of how the site maximizes access to language learning, referencing the criteria described above. Deadline for nominations is February 23, 2008. Please send nomination information directly to Derek Roff: derek@unm.edu . |
