Title: Call for Papers: NERALLT Spring Meeting
Body: NERALLT 2008 Spring Meeting "Language Learning in Action: Moving Images in a Digital World" May 1-2, 2008 - Wesleyan University (Middletown, CT) CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS -- DEADLINE: MARCH 25 We cordially invite submissions to the Spring meeting of the New England Regional Association of Language Learning Technology, hosted by Wesleyan University on May 1-2, 2008. This biennial meeting serves as a forum for stimulating and disseminating pedagogical research and practical applications of technology for the teaching and learning of foreign languages, and provides a venue for language technologists and faculty to come together and share new ideas. CONFERENCE THEME "Language Learning in Action: Moving Images in a Digital World" Film and video have been used in language education for 50 years or more. What began as merely 'showing a movie' has progressed to a plethora of uses and means of delivery for the moving image (and audio) for language learning and instruction. Today's world language students are now learning from viewing, making, and interacting with digitized moving images through films, their own video creations, teachers' multimedia presentations, publishers' ancillary materials, video podcasts from museums, collaborative projects involving interdisciplinary departments and international partners, video conferencing, travel blogs, and much more- delivered over the Web, through commercial video streaming services to campus networks, from video clip and film libraries, digitized art galleries, video-sharing websites, and yes, often simply from a DVD movie played in class. PROPOSALS NERALLT is going to take a broad view of this phenomenon, providing an avenue for the demonstration of these technologies and pedagogical tools, and their applications for the language resource provider, learner, and teacher. Topics to be explored may include video streaming servers, GIS technology, commercial software for movie-making and digital storytelling, cross-cultural exchange using iChat, Skype, and other video-conferencing technologies, video subtitling, YouTube in the classroom, as well as copyright and privacy issues, media literacy, and challenges brought on with the move from teacher-centric to interactive to user-centric practices. NERALLT seeks to maintain a balance between technology and pedagogy in order to share innovative methodologies with conference participants ranging from language teaching professionals, administrators and support staff of language labs, ESL labs, and other centers where technology is applied to language teaching and learning, as well as faculty and teachers (university and K-12) who use technology. Send abstracts (up to 250 words) to Emily Wentworth at emily.r.wentworth@yale.edu Deadline for submissions: March 25 CONTACT INFORMATION Questions regarding the program and call for presentations should be sent to Emily Wentworth (Yale U) at emily.r.wentworth@yale.edu.

Title: Summer Workshop: Investigating Language Use in Study Abroad
Body: From http://calper.la.psu.edu/profdev.php?page=workshops Investigating Language Use in Study Abroad Wednesday + Thursday, June 25-26, 2008..... 9:00am - 4:30pm Participants in this workshop will explore three trends in research on language learning in study abroad: 1) investigation of sociolinguistic and pragmatic aspects of language development; 2) scrutiny of communicative settings, including the classroom and the home stay; and 3) inquiry into language socialization and learner identity. Discussion will focus first on the implications of this research for the design and enhancement of study abroad programs and on meeting the needs of students before, during, and after their sojourn abroad. The focus will then turn to approaches directly involving students in research on language use and ethnographic observation in study abroad settings. Presenter: Celeste Kinginger, Penn State University PA teachers: ACT 48 - 12 hrs Program Cost: $80 For more information and to register, go to http://calper.la.psu.edu/profdev.php?page=workshops .
