Call for Papers
Mid-Atlantic and Great Lakes African Studies Conference
Creativity, Innovation, and Resilience: Rethinking Challenges and Opportunities in Africa
University of Pittsburgh
March 24, 2018
Seeing the need for opportunities for scholarly development and networking among educators and researchers in African Studies outside of the annual meeting of the African Studies Association, the organizers invite Africanists from universities, community colleges, HBCUs, and other academic institutions in the neighboring states of Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Maryland, Ohio, Virginia, Indiana, Michigan, and New York to participate in the conference. The larger goal is to stimulate a regional intellectual community for Africanist scholars and researchers across a wide variety of disciplinary backgrounds and institutions. Papers that align with the conference theme or address other themes are all welcome.
The deadline for conference abstracts is March 1, 2018.

Research-Based Vocabulary Instruction for English Learners
May 17 - 18, 2018
Center for Applied Linguistics
Washington, DC
This engaging two-day professional development workshop is designed to increase understanding and provide practical resources regarding vocabulary instruction for educators working with English learners in their classrooms and schools. The workshop focuses on the vocabulary acquisition of English learners and on techniques to foster their vocabulary acquisition needed to meet content and language acquisition standards in the classroom.
The interactive workshop focuses on four key research-based components that comprise strategic vocabulary instruction:
- Strategic instruction of high-utility vocabulary
- How to foster a motivating learning environment that is rich in words
- Approaches to promote students' independent word-learning skills
- Assessment techniques that inform strategic vocabulary instruction
- Based on CAL's large-scale, federally-funded vocabulary research, workshop presenters describe how research-based techniques to vocabulary instruction can be incorporated into learning activities in ESL, reading and general education classes at the PreK-12 levels.
