Title: Call for Papers: 4th International Conference on Language Teacher Education, Deadline November 30, 2004
Body: June 2-4, 2005 Radisson-Metrodome Hotel Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA More information and on-line submission instructions can be found at: http://www.carla.umn.edu/conferences/LTE2005/call.html Featured speakers at the conference will include: Marilyn Cochran-Smith (Boston College), keynote speaker Heidi Byrnes (Georgetown University) B. Kumaravadivelu (San Jose State University) Catherine Snow (Harvard University) The fourth International Conference on Language Teacher Education welcomes proposals for papers and symposia on all aspects of the education and professional development of language teachers. Papers and symposia may report on data-based research, theoretical and conceptual analyses, or best practices in language teacher education. The mission of the conference is to address the education of teachers of all languages, at all instructional and institutional levels, and in all the many national and international contexts in which this takes place, including: English as a Second or Foreign Language (ESL/EFL) instruction; foreign modern/world language teaching; bilingual education; immersion education; indigenous and minority language education; and the teaching of less commonly taught languages. The conference aims to bring together teacher educators from these many contexts to discuss and share research, theory, and best practices and to initiate and sustain meaningful professional dialogue across languages, levels, and settings. The conference will focus on the following four broad themes: * The Knowledge Base of Language Teacher Education; * Social, Cultural, and Political Contexts of Language Teacher Education; * Collaborations in Language Teacher Education; and * Processes of Language Teacher Education Proposals are more likely to be accepted if they address one of these themes. The deadline for submission of proposals for papers and symposia is November 30, 2004. Questions? Email the planning committee at: lteconf@umn.edu

Title: Review: Annual Review of Language Acquisition
Body: The complete article can be found at: http://linguistlist.org/issues/15/15-2452.html The third volume in the Annual Review of Language Acquisition series presents four articles that reflect the work of dissertations finished in 2002 and 2003. Their common theme notwithstanding, these articles also illustrate different experimental and theoretical approaches used in phonology, morphosyntax and syntax for the investigation of language acquisition. As a result, this collection provides a useful survey of numerous current issues in the field.
