From http://linguistlist.org/issues/26/26-5642.html
Call for Contributions to The Routledge Handbook of Study Abroad Research and Practice, edited by Cristina Sanz, Professor of Spanish & Linguistics at Georgetown University
With the goal of representing the diversity that characterizes study abroad programs and learners, the editor aims to include researchers working with study abroad data from programs around the world and from diverse samples of learners that vary according to national origin (US students in Europe and Latin America, Chinese students in the US), age (teenagers, college students), and language experience (from beginners to advanced language majors), as well as different study abroad programs including long term, short term, sheltered and direct matriculation.
Abstracts accepted February 1 - March 1, 2016

Title: Call for Papers: Digital Humanities and Foreign Language Learning
Body:
From https://larc.sdsu.edu/swallt/our-conferences/
Digital Humanities and Foreign Language Learning
Dates: April 1 – 2, 2016
Host Institution: Language Acquisition Resource Center, San Diego State University, San Diego CA
Language Resource Centers have been a gathering point for the advent of digital technology in the learning and teaching of foreign languages. We have experienced the transformation from analog recording systems and computer based worksheets to the use of locally-based and virtual digital tools. And among these tools are Language Resources, monolingual, bilingual and parallel corpora, translation memories, sites that channel news sources – the list is almost endless. Along with this has come the opportunity for learners to co-create and share content. The language classroom and the language resource center are thus the innovation centers if you will for the foreign language learning curriculum. Above all, language teachers cannot ignore the work being done in creating usable content and applicable tools. And this makes language learning truly cross-disciplinary.
Any examples of research being conducted or used, cross-disciplinary endeavors and lesson-based content creation would be particularly welcome.
Proposal submission deadline is February 15, 2016.
Submit proposals at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1iPOfyBqlHaa-UayHeZeZFcYKisr6WB-d7211Nz8IS2o/viewform?c=0&w=1

Summer Academy in Leipzig for U.S.-American Faculty in German
May 28 – June 11, 2016
Co-sponsored by the German-American Fulbright Commission and the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) the Summer Academy aims to offer professional development in areas relevant to the teaching of German including German language, literature and culture as well as in professional and higher education. The seminar is based at interDaF at Leipzig University’s Herder Institute. The program language will be German.
The Academy will give an overview of current developments in German secondary and post-secondary education, including information on the German high school system, vocational training, recent German and European higher education reforms such as the Bologna process, and demographic developments and ethnic diversity in contemporary Germany. An additional focus of the program will be on teaching German as a Foreign Language, and participants will become acquainted with latest didactical methods in this field as developed and implemented at interDaF in Leipzig. The Academy will also include class room visits and opportunities to meet colleagues from other academic fields, various experts, students and administrators. An excursion program including a day trip to Berlin will complement the academic sessions. Finally, the program will highlight some of the structures, regional priorities and current developments in this part of Eastern Germany.
U.S.-American Faculty in German, preferably teaching full-time at smaller colleges or institutions that offer German as a major or a German/German Studies degree, are encouraged to apply. Preference will be given to younger faculty who have not had a similar experience in Germany during the last 5 years. Applicants must be in the possession of a valid U.S. passport.
