Accredited, U.S. post-secondary educational institutions meeting the provisions described in Internal Revenue Code section 26 USC 501(c)(3) may submit proposals to administer a three-month teacher exchange program for U.S. and French pre-service teachers. Post-secondary educational institutions may apply independently or in a consortium with other post-secondary institutions. The program will provide approximately 30-35 French pre-service teachers, who are expected to serve socio-economically disadvantaged students in France, with a three-to-four week orientation to American history, culture and society, provided through professional development seminars in an academic setting, and a two-month practical component, provided through practice teaching experience under the guidance of experienced mentor teachers at a U.S. school. Interested institutions should document strong contacts with local school districts in the United States in order to provide the practical student-teaching component for French pre-service teachers and a demonstrated ability to conduct a substantive seminar in an academic setting. The program will also provide a reciprocal program for U.S. pre-service teachers. In cooperation with the French Ministry of Education, with support from the Franco-American Commission for Educational Exchange (Fulbright Commission), the cooperating institution will recruit and select 30-35 U.S. pre-service or in-service teachers, and provide a pre-departure orientation and short-term French language training. The French partners will arrange an in-country orientation and a three-month student teaching internship for U.S. teachers. The total grant award for all program and administrative expenses will be approximately $350,000. For more information, visit http://exchanges.state.gov/education/rfgps/may31rfgp.htm .

Title: Call for Papers: Conference on Technology for Second Language Learning
Body: From http://apling.public.iastate.edu/conf/tsll/2006 CALL FOR PAPERS Technology for Second Language Learning (TSLL) 4th Annual Conference Learner Stategies in CALL Friday, September 22 and Saturday, September 23, 2006 Memorial Union, Iowa State University Keynote speakers Professor Andrew Cohen, University of Minnesota & Phil Hubbard, Stanford University The strategies that learners use to direct their second language learning are critical when students use multimedia CALL, the Internet and other electronic resources. These tools give students access to a large range of learning resources and opportunities, but for the most part leave learners on their own to decide how to best use them. How can teachers help to teach learners strategies for effective use of electronic materials for second language learning? What does theory, research and practice tell us about effective use of resources? Papers presented at this conference will address these questions by exploring the intersection between learner strategy training and CALL including implications for language classrooms, teacher education, materials development. Researchers and practitioners in CALL and CALL-related disciplines are invited to submit abstracts for empirical and theoretical papers on learner strategies in CALL. Specific areas of interest include but are not limited to the following: - Investigations of strategies language learners use in technology-mediated environments - Impact of new technologies on learning strategies and the design of materials to prompt good learning strategies - Evaluation/assessment of the effects of learner strategy training in CALL - Current and future trends in educating language teachers to teach strategies for using technological language resources - Impact of distance and web-based learning environments for language learning strategies Please submit abstracts (150 – 250 words) electronically by June 30, 2006 Hosted by the Program in Applied Linguistics & Technology, the Program in Teaching English as a Second Language/Applied Linguistics, the CALL Club, the Linguistics Program, and the Department of English, Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa.
