Hello all,
If you haven't yet been to "LangTech at the KFLC", there is still time and
opportunity to join us for language technology in the Bluegrass in April 2009!
This is the 2nd Call for Papers - the abstract submission deadline is coming
up on 24 November 2008. Please see the full Call for Papers below.
I hope that you will consider submitting a proposal and that you will
encourage your colleagues in your language programs to do the same.
Mark Lauersdorf
P.S. As always, a .pdf version of this Call for Papers is available for you
to share with your colleagues in the language programs who may not be on
LLTI. Please let me know if you would like one.
***********************************
CALL FOR PAPERS -- LANGUAGE TECHNOLOGY
Heading into its fourth year as an official division of the Kentucky Foreign
Language Conference, "LangTech at the KFLC" seeks high quality papers on any
aspect of:
Technology for Language, Literature, Culture, and Linguistics
We are continuing our efforts to attract presentations specifically on the
use of technology in *literary, cultural, and linguistic* teaching and
research, including but not limited to:
- integrating technology into literature, culture, and linguistics classrooms
- technology as a tool for student projects and research in literature,
culture, and linguistics
- faculty research in literature, culture, and linguistics employing
technology tools ("digital humanities")
Abstracts are, of course, also welcome in *all* other areas and aspects of
technology and language, such as:
- using tech tools and techniques for language instruction in all skills and
on all levels
- guiding language educators toward optimal use of technology in their
teaching and research
- employing technology-based research and publication in language scholarship
- managing language technology in an academic setting
The KFLC has a tradition of attracting scholars from a broad range of
languages and specializations. This year's conference will have sessions in
Arabic, French, German, Hispanic, Italian, and Luso-Afro-Brazilian Studies,
as well as Second Language Acquisition. We would like to see this broad
range represented in the Language Technology sessions, to encourage
cross-pollination of ideas among the individual languages and disciplines
working to integrate technology into their teaching and research programs,
and to encourage participants from the various literature, culture, and
linguistics sessions to join us in our discussions.
Abstracts should be no more than 250-300 words in length and should be
submitted directly online at:
KFLC Abstract Site: http://www.kflcabstracts.uky.edu/
In view of the multi-language audience that we hope to attract to all
Language Technology sessions, the recommended language of presentation is
English.
Deadline for submission of abstracts and panel proposals is *24 November 2008*.
All proposed abstracts will be considered for inclusion in the KFLC program.
Acceptance of a paper implies a commitment on the part of the participant(s)
to register and attend the conference. All presenters must pay the
appropriate registration fee by 15 February 2009 to be included in the
program. The conference will take place 16-18 April 2009 on the campus of
the University of Kentucky in Lexington.

We look forward to seeing you in beautiful springtime Kentucky as a
contributor to the continued growth and success of "LangTech at the KFLC"!
