The conference aims to bring together language teachers, educators, administrators and other stakeholders to discuss, and share research, theory, and best practices on the current state and future of the LCTL as well as initiate a meaningful professional dialogue on this topic amongst those who are interested in sustaining the teaching and learning of LCTL at US institutions. Date: Saturday, April 30, 2011 Location: Dag Hammarskjolds Lounge, 15th Floor, School of International and Public Affairs, Columbia University PLENARY SPEAKER: Scott McGinnis, Academic Advisor and Associate Professor, Defense Language Institute, Washington Office. Speakers will include among others (full list to follow shortly): Dan Davidson - Professor of Russian and Second Language Acquisition at Bryn Mawr College Maria Carreira - Professor of Spanish at California State University, Long Beach Nancy Ruther - Associate Director, The MacMillan Center, Yale University Alan Timberlake - Professor of Russian and Chair, Slavic Department, Columbia University Some of the topics that will be addressed by the speakers will include: - How do we conjugate the national priority in LCTL with the overall neglect for LCTL at many of our institutions? - How do we address the systemic lack of funding for LCTL within our academic institutions? - What structures should we put in place in order to better develop and sustain LCTL? - What role do heritage learners and bilingual speakers play in reinforcing LCTL programs? - How can technology help us overcome some of the barriers that prohibit us from achieving critical mass in some LCTL? - Is the rise of some LCTL (Chinese, Arabic, etc) accomplished at the detriment of other LCTL in terms of institutional support? - Is the emergence of lingua franca among the LCTL synonymous with diminishing support for other LCTL in the same geographic area? - How can we better coordinate our efforts to promote the teaching and learning of LCTL regionally as well as nationally?

Title: Russian Teacher Program: Preparing Russian Teachers for the 21st Century
Body: From http://depts.washington.edu/Startalk Russian Teacher Program Preparing Russian Teachers for the 21st Century July 11-22, 2011 at the University of Washington Language Learning Center in Denny Hall. The STARTALK Teacher Program, Preparing Russian Teachers for the 21st Century, aims to enroll ten or more teachers who are working toward obtaining a P-12 World Language Endorsement in Russian for teaching Russian language in Washington K-12 public schools. The program is designed to teach them the content knowledge needed to pass the Washington Educator Skills Test - Endorsement (WEST-E) for World Languages and the pedagogical experience that would prepare them for the Performance-Based Pedagogical Assessment (PPA) for those teachers for whom it is required for state endorsement, and to provide scholarship assistance to complete the required assessments (WEST-E and ACTFL OPI and WPT). Priority will be given to teachers who already hold a teaching certificate, but want to earn a P-12 Endorsement in Designated World Language Russian. This Teacher Program will prepare native (or near native) speakers of Russian to teach in a standards and content-based program, focused on developing communicative proficiency and accuracy in heritage speakers of Russian.
