Title: Call for Papers: English Learners and Higher Education
Body: From http://lmri.ucsb.edu/events/06_conf/index.php University of California Linguistic Minority Research Institute 19th Annual Conference Home Page May 5-6, 2006: "English Learners and Higher Education" Call for Papers (Deadline: March 1, 2006) The 2006 UC LMRI Conference will focus on English Learners and Higher Education. For English learners to achieve parity with other students, they must have greater access to and success in higher education. Yet English learners are less likely to graduate from high school, attend college, and complete a four-year degree than other students. The 2006 conference will provide a forum for addressing such isses as preparation for college, access to two-year versus four-year colleges, and factors that promote or impede college completion for English learners. We invite proposals to address these issues as well as other issues related to the schooling of English learners. For more information about the conference, visit http://lmri.ucsb.edu/events/06_conf/index.php .
