Greetings,
This is the third and final Call for Papers for Language Technology at the
Kentucky Foreign Language Conference.
If you haven't already done so, please share this information with your
colleagues (tech staff and professors), and come share your latest thoughts and
projects in IT for languages.
If you have colleagues who earlier expressed an interest, now is the time to
pass along a gentle reminder of the 15 November deadline for receipt of
abstracts.
I hope to hear from you.
Mark Lauersdorf
P.S. I can once again send out a .pdf version of this Call for Papers for you to
share with your colleagues in the language programs (especially professors who
may not be on LLTI). Just let me know and I will send it to you individually.

CALL FOR PAPERS
Instructional Technology is making its debut as an official section of the
Kentucky Foreign Language Conference! This long-standing springtime event, now
in its 59th consecutive year, will include in its 2006 program full sessions
devoted to technology and language. The conference will take place 20-22 April
2006 on the campus of the University of Kentucky in Lexington.
Abstracts are invited in all areas and aspects of technology and language
including, but certainly not limited to:
- using tech tools and techniques for language instruction in all skills and on
all levels
- integrating technology into literature, culture and linguistics classrooms
- employing technology-based research and publication in language scholarship
- guiding language educators toward optimal use of technology in their teaching
and research
- gathering, hosting, serving technology resources for language learning
- managing language learning technology in an academic setting
In addition to individual abstracts, proposals will be considered for complete
panels of five papers organized around a common theme.
The KFLC has a tradition of attracting scholars from a broad range of languages
and specializations. This year's conference will have sessions in French,
German, Italian, Japanese, Luso-Brazilian, and Spanish studies, as well as
Foreign Language and International Economics and Theoretical and Applied
Linguistics.
We would also like to see this broad range represented in the Instructional
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 one page in length and should include author's
name, affiliation and contact coordinates. Panel proposals should include on a
single sheet the theme of the panel, the organizer's name and contact
information, and the names and affiliations of the panel participants (all
abstracts should be assembled by the panel organizer and submitted with the
panel proposal). In view of the multi-language audience that we hope to attract
to all IT sessions, the recommended language of presentation is English.
Deadline for submission of abstracts and panel proposals is 15 November 2005.
All proposed abstracts and panels will be considered for inclusion in the KFLC
program. Acceptance of a paper or complete panel implies a commitment on the
part of the participant(s) to register and attend the conference. All presenters
and attendees must pay the appropriate registration fee by 15 February 2006 to
be included in the program.

We look forward to seeing you in beautiful springtime Kentucky for the start of
an exciting new addition to the Kentucky Foreign Language Conference!
