Title: 26th Annual American Indian Language Development Institute
Body: From: http://www.u.arizona.edu/~AILDI/AILDI2005.htm Power and Powerless: Language Ideology and Practice in Native American Communities Our 2005 theme will take into consideration the dichotomy that exists among the stakeholders in American Indian language education. Issues of language, identity, values, and education rights and the question of who the decision-makers are for Native American language practices and methods of teaching will be primary considerations. The theme will be highlighted with special presentations, guest lectures, films and panels. The American Indian Language Development Institute (AILDI) provides a unique educational experience for teachers of Native children. The AILDI format offers native and non-native teachers the opportunity to become researchers, practitioners, bilingual/bicultural curriculum specialists, and especially effective language teachers. The common concern of language loss, revitalization and maintenance brings educators, parents, tribal leaders and community members to this university setting to study methods for teaching Native languages and cultures and to develop materials.

Title: Call for Papers: IALLT Special Issue
Body: As an extension and expansion of the recent discussion on LLTI, the IALLT Journal would like to dedicate a special issue to the changing status of the Language Center within the academy of the 21st century. IALLT members are encouraged to submit articles and essays that reflect upon the changes their centers have undergone owing to developments in technologies, new mandates from institutional administrations, constrained budgets, distance education as a mode of teaching and learning, and other forces that are rapidly shaping how language centers meet the needs of their constituents and the demands of their institutions. Likewise, the IALLT Journal would like to hear from the directors of centers that have been closed, or whose missions have been expanded or altered to the point that "language center" may no longer apply to them. Ideas, abstracts, papers, and questions should be sent to Andrew Ross (Andrew_Ross@brown.edu) and Jorg Waltje (waltje@uohio.edu).
