Title: Need applicants for NBPTS
Body: From: "Keiko Schneider"
Some members may recall the discussion regarding NBPTS (National Board
for Professional Teaching Standards) certification earlier this year.
We need more teachers to make this certification a reality. The
deadline for the application is quickly approaching; December 31st.
The certification is important for whole field of teaching Japanese in
the US for several reasons. First, teachers gain "highly qualified
teacher" status. Under No Child Left Behind, the certification is
going to help you keep your job and therefore the Japanese program.
The certification will raise the standards of the field and create more leaders. It will also attract more college students who are going to teaching Japanese.
At ACTFL, Japan Foundation generously invited NBPTS advisor Martie
Semmer and National Board Certified French teacher Toni Theisen to come to speak at its luncheon Saturday. Toni will present a NCJLT-sponsored session with Prof. Tohsaku on Saturday 4:30 PM - 5:45 PM titled "Pursuing Accomplished Teaching: Preparing for National Board
Certification"
http://www.colorado.edu/ealld/atj/ncjlt/ACTFL.html#nbpts
Please take a serious consideration if you are eligible.

Title: Pathways to Bilingualism:
Body: From: CARLA Call for Papers Pathways to Bilingualism: Evolving Perspectives on Immersion Education October 21-23, 2004 Radisson-Metrodome Hotel Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA Featured Speakers: Fred Genesee, Kathryn Lindholm-Leary, Roy Lyster, Myriam Met, Merrill Swain The Immersion Projects at the Center for Advanced Research on Language Acquisition (CARLA) at the University of Minnesota and conference planning committee members are seeking proposals for papers, discussion sessions, and symposia on all aspects of immersion education for Pathways to Bilingualism. This second international conference on immersion education will be held October 21-23, 2004 at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. In addition to basic, applied and evaluation research, conference organizers welcome a range of practitioner perspectives including immersion teachers, administrators, curriculum coordinators, and specialists who work in immersion programs. Papers, discussion sessions, and symposia may report on data-based research, theoretical and conceptual analyses, or best practices in language immersion education. This conference on immersion education aims to bring together immersion teachers, researchers, and other professionals to initiate and sustain meaningful dialogue across languages, levels, program models and sociopolitical contexts. Targeted K-16 contexts include: foreign language immersion in the more commonly taught and less commonly taught languages, dual language immersion, and immersion for linguistic and cultural revitalization involving heritage and indigenous populations. Each of these educational programs embraces the concept of additive bilingualism-- the acquisition of a second language while continuing to develop the first. The conference will focus on four broad themes: Program Design and Development, Assessment and Program Evaluation, Immersion Pedagogy and Language Development, and Policy and Advocacy. The priority deadline for submission of proposals for papers and symposia is February 1, 2004. Submission guidelines will soon be available on the CARLA website at: http://carla.acad.umn.edu/conferences/immersion/papers.html For further information, email the conference planning committee at: immconf@umn.edu
