NASILP provides channels through which the Association's members and directors share their special concerns and expertise. The 2005 Annual Conference is scheduled for Friday, October 28th and Saturday, October 29th at Hilton Crystal City at National Airport (Arlington, VA). Members are encouraged to attend the annual NASILP two-day Conference and Workshop which takes place on the Friday and Saturday prior to Election Day. This Conference is especially informative for new members, who we strongly urge to attend. It covers topics such as program design, budgeting, implementation of new language offerings, student orientation, the role of the Tutor/Driller and responsibilities of the Coordinator and Examiner. The Association's annual meeting will feature presentations reflecting current research on issues pertinent to academically-based self-accessed programs for LCTLs. The meeting provides access to nationally-recognized scholars in the fields of pedagogy, design, materials development, instructional technologies, program administration, and establishes channels through which the special concerns and expertise of NASILP's institutional members are shared.

Title: Preparing for a Substitute
Body: A recent query on the FLTEACH listserv regarding how to prepare for a substitute teacher received the following reply: ---- Search your district and neighboring districts for a teacher who is not teaching a language but is certified for it. See whether their is any legal way for him/her to take your class while a sub takes his/hers. Or find a teacher not certified for your language but who speaks it well. Is there any way for you to identify which available subs can speak the language? Some systems have a way for you to request a particular sub. Failing these, prepare two sets of plans: one for a sub who doesn't know the language, and one for a sub who does. I found it very frustrating when I was called to a language class and found instructions based on the assumptions that I knew nothing of Spanish AND nothing on classroom management. See whether you can recruit a sub from among college students who are preparing to be language teachers. Ask the faulty for recommendations. (This might not work--in my system, no one was allowed to be a sub without a degree. Even a student teacher had to have a "legal" sub if his/her mentor was absent.) If your absence is not a surprise, can you schedule it when the school is doing some special activity like standardized testing that would have interrupted your class anyway? Groleau, W.
