CALL FOR PROPOSALS FOR FIVE TESOL 2003 ELECTRONIC VILLAGE SPECIAL EVENTS

TESOL 2003: "Hearing Every Voice"

March 25-29, 2003

Baltimore, Maryland, USA

INTERNET FAIR, SOFTWARE FAIR, APPLICATIONS FAIR, EV MINI-WORKSHOPS, and

DEVELOPERS' SHOWCASE

***DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS: January 15, 2003***

You are invited to submit a proposal for participation in one or more of

these TESOL 2003 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 since these are very popular events!

WHAT HAPPENS AT THE FAIRS:

Presenters have approximately 20-30 minutes to demonstrate their material.

Participants walk around the EV, dropping 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.

WHAT HAPPENS AT THE MINI-WORKSHOPS:

One presenter introduces a topic to a small group of workshop participants.

The workshop is "hands-on."

WHAT HAPPENS AT THE SHOWCASE:

There is one presenter at a time, demonstrating her/his program. Seating is

provided for the audience.

_____INTERNET FAIR_____

Coordinator: Malika Lyon Email: <[log in to unmask]>

WHAT IS IT? The 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, activities or curriculum created for students or educators. (The

websites do not have to be created by the teacher/presenter.) Examples:

-Email projects

-Lesson plan archives for teachers

-Vocabulary worksheets using an online thesaurus

-Skimming/scanning activities using a local movie theater webpage

-Research/writing exercises for investigating Internet hoaxes

PROPOSALS

Please submit your proposal(s) for the Internet Fair online at

http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~call/

_____SOFTWARE FAIR_____

Coordinator: Stephanie Stauffer Email: [log in to unmask]

WHAT IS IT? The Software Fair is an event for teachers to share how they

use different types of software - in innovative, clever, or just plain

efficient ways - in English instruction or assessment during in-class or

out-of-class activities. The software may be used as a part of the

classroom time, computer lab time, or a homework activity to supplement

English language instruction. In the past, teachers/presenters have shown

how they have used prepackaged software such as Focus on Grammar, Word

Attack, Testmaster, Grolier Encyclopedia, or Phraze Craze for improving

skills in vocabulary, reading, writing, and speaking & understanding.

Presenters will need to bring the software they are demonstrating. PC and

Macintosh computers will be available. (The Software Fair focuses on

applications developed primarily for language instruction.)

PROPOSALS

Please submit your proposal(s) for the Software Fair online at

http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~call/

_____APPLICATIONS FAIR______

Coordinator: Thomas Robb Email: [log in to unmask]

WHAT IS IT? The Applications Fair is an opportunity for teachers to

demonstrate effective and adaptive uses of applications not specifically

designed for ESL or other language use. Examples:

-Using Microsoft Word's comment feature for writing feedback

-Using Excel to teach budgeting finances as a life skill

-Using PowerPoint for students' classroom presentations

-Using Yahoo! Groups for developing class communication

-Using HyperStudio to illustrate students' descriptive writing

It differs from the Software Fair as those presentations focus on

applications developed primarily for language instruction.

PROPOSALS

Please submit your proposal(s) for the Applications Fair online at

http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~call/

_____EV MINI-WORKSHOPS_____

Coordinator: Leslie Opp-Beckman Email: [log in to unmask]

WHAT IS IT? The EV Mini-workshops are intended to be limited seating events

for hands-on workshops where participants will gain experience in

adaptation of standard software for CALL purposes. Participants will have

the opportunity to create a product or gain depth in use of software.

Examples:

-Using iMovie

-Working with audio and/or video

-Working with Discussion Boards

-Using BBEdit(Mac) to create and upload HTML files

-Setting up a mailing list with Yahoo! Groups

-Learning how to MOO

-Using Hot Potatoes to create online quizzes

-Using Excel for grade calculations

PROPOSALS

Please submit your proposal(s) for the EV Mini-workshops online at

http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~call/

_____DEVELOPERS' SHOWCASE_____

Coordinator: Karima Benremouga Email: [log in to unmask]

WHAT IS IT? The Developers' Showcase is one of several ways in which the

CALL-IS disseminates information about computers and computer-assisted

instruction to the ESL/EFL professional community. The 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 projects produced by teachers for their

own students or projects produced under development grants.

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

PROPOSALS

Please submit your proposal(s) for the Developers' Showcase online at

http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~call/ or contact Karima Benremouga directly at
