Title: The 52nd Annual Northeast Conference
Body: From: http://www.dickinson.edu/nectfl/conf.html The Northeast Conference Back on Broadway! March 31 April 3, 2005 New York Marriott Marquis Hotel on Broadway Conference Theme: "Opening Cultural Windows in the Year of Languages" Act I will be a dramatization of responses by learners and teachers to the general question "What does it mean to teach and learn culture in the foreign language classroom?" A multimedia presentation will focus our attention on definitions of culture, ways of assessing cultural proficiency, beliefs about culture, and instructor and student experiences. Our Opening General Session format will continue to reflect a desire to avoid speeches and to generate real discussion of the issues we face through a provocative and exciting approach. We are on Broadway, and it shows! Act IIdemonstrates why evaluations of the Northeast Conference have been glowing for over 50 years: * a huge and inviting exhibit hall with a variety of companies, * a program of outstanding workshops and sessions, and * the opportunities for professional networking and collegiality that make attendance at the Northeast Conference seem like "coming home"! Act III is composed of the "value added" features that make the Northeast Conference different from any other: * high school students may attend at no charge and enjoy special programming provided for them; * attendees who are unfamiliar with or alone in New York can spend an evening "out on the town" with native New Yorker guides from our profession; * session types range from hands-on to panel to poster; * we will schedule one-hour "get to know a new language" sessions where you can try your hand at something different (ASL, Chinese, Greek, Arabic, etc.); * a job clinic on employment outside the educational field For more information, visit: http://www.dickinson.edu/nectfl/conf.html
