Title: Conference: Immersion Education: Pathways to Bilingualism and Beyond
Body: From http://www.carla.umn.edu/conferences Immersion Education: Pathways to Bilingualism and Beyond October 16-18, 2008 Crowne Plaza Hotel - St Paul Waterfront St Paul, Minnesota Language immersion education has emerged as a uniquely constituted, highly effective program model for launching students on the road to bilingualism, multilingualism and intercultural competence. School-based immersion programs follow a variety of paths, including one-way foreign language immersion, two-way bilingual immersion, and indigenous immersion for language and culture revitalization. While each pathway targets distinct socio-cultural contexts and educational needs, all are grounded in a set of core characteristics with a strong focus on subject matter learning as well as language development. Under the leadership of two national centers in the U.S., CARLA at the University of Minnesota and CAL (Center for Applied Linguistics) this conference brings these immersion pathways together to engage in meaningful dialogue and professional exchange across languages, levels, learner audiences, program models and sociopolitical contexts. Featured Plenary Speakers Fred Genesee, McGill University, Montreal, Canada Philip Hoare, Hong Kong Institute of Education, Hong Kong Kauanoe Kaman®° and Bill "Pila" Wilson, University of Hawai'i at Hilo Roy Lyster, McGill University, Montreal, Canada Myriam Met, National Foreign Language Center, University of Maryland For more information, go to http://www.carla.umn.edu/conferences .
