Here's a second call.  Please note the December 15 deadline.

----------------------------------------

CALL FOR PROPOSALS FOR THREE TESOL 2001 ELECTRONIC VILLAGE SPECIAL EVENTS

TESOL 2001: "Gateway to the Future"
February 27-March 3, 2001
Saint Louis, Missouri USA
INTERNET FAIR, SOFTWARE FAIR and DEVELOPERS SHOWCASE

***DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS:  December 15, 2000***
You are invited to submit a proposal for participation in one or more of
these TESOL 2001 CALL Interest Section Special Events, according to the
guidelines below. Submit a separate proposal for each demonstration you wish
to be considered for. You are welcome to submit proposals to more than one
event, and it is possible to have more than one proposal accepted (depending
on space availability and quality of the submission). Windows and Macintosh
equipment will be available at no charge, along with CD ROM drives, Internet
connections, and (for the Showcase only) projection equipment. Plan to bring
a minimum of 100 handouts per Fair/Showcase acceptance slot -- these are
very popular events!

WHAT HAPPENS AT THE FAIRS:
Presenters have approximately 20-30 minutes to demonstrate their material.
Participants walk around and drop in and out of demonstrations, thus
precluding highly structured presentations. A demonstration may be repeated
a second time (an additional 20 to 25 minutes), if interest warrants and
space allows. You can submit a proposal to either Fair online at
http://deil2.lang.uiuc.edu/Evproposals/.

WHAT HAPPENS AT THE SHOWCASE:
There is one presenter at a time, demonstrating her/his program. Seating is
provided for the audience. See below for how to submit a proposal to the
Developers Showcase.


_____INTERNET FAIR_____
Coordinator: Suzan Moody

WHAT IS IT? Internet Fair is a TESOL event intended for demonstrations by
teachers or teacher-developers who have used Internet-based programs,
websites, or activities with students. Demonstrations may highlight student
projects or activities or curriculum created for students or educators.
PROPOSALS
Please submit your proposal(s) for the Internet Fair online at
http://deil2.lang.uiuc.edu/Evproposals/


_____SOFTWARE FAIR_____
Coordinator:  Norm Johnson
Email: [log in to unmask]
WHAT IS IT?
The purpose of the Software Fair is to allow teachers to show how they use
different types of software in English instruction for in-class or
out-of-class activities. The software may be used as a part of the classroom
time, computer lab time, or as a homework activity to supplement English
language instruction.
In the past, presenters have shown how they have used prepackaged software
such as Word Attack, Grolier Encyclopedia, Testmaster, or Phraze Craze for
increasing skills in vocabulary, reading, writing, and speaking &
understanding. Presenters will need to bring the software they are
demonstrating.
PROPOSALS
Please submit your proposal(s) for the Software Fair online at

_____DEVELOPERS SHOWCASE_____
Coordinator:  Phil Hubbard
Email:  [log in to unmask]
WHAT IS IT? The Developers Showcase provides an opportunity for the
designers of ESL/EFL software to display their work, and for potential
users, software developers, and marketers to examine and react to it. We
especially welcome teacher-produced projects for students or projects
produced under development grants. Note that the Showcase is not a
commercial venue. Software that is already contracted with a publisher or
that the presenter has offered or plans to offer for sale independently is
not acceptable.

This Showcase includes materials in the following two categories:
1. disk-based software, including floppy-disk, hard disk, and CD-ROMs.
2. web-based software, including both programs that can be accessed directly
from the web and those that can be downloaded.

The Showcase is not a commercial venue. Only work that is not yet on the
market will be considered.
The following types of software are not acceptable for the Showcase:
* Software that is already contracted with a publisher
* Software that has been offered for sale independently, or which the
presenter plans to sell independently, including by subscription or as
shareware
* Software given away free to promote a commercial interest
