iAEa$DAoOEeaw$ACHello 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 2008!
This year's conference inaugurates an initiative targeting technology for
literature, culture, and linguistics teaching and research. But, we will, of
course, also be continuing our wildly(!) successful sessions on the use of
technology in the acquisition of language skills.
This is the 2nd Call for Proposals - the abstract submission deadline is coming
up on 15 December 2007.
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. 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
In its third year as an official division of the Kentucky Foreign Language
Conference the Language Technology group is inaugurating a new initiative.
In addition to the traditional 3-day series of sessions discussing the use of
technology to enhance the acquisition of language skills, this year's "LangTech
at the KFLC" is soliciting papers for a parallel 3-day series of sessions
devoted specifically to Technology for Literature, Culture, and Linguistics.
For this new series of sessions, abstracts are invited that focus 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")
For the traditional sessions, abstracts are 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 one page (250 words) in length and should be
submitted directly online at:
http://www.stoa.org/kflc2/submit.php?cf=6
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 15 December 2007.
[Note that this is later than the general KFLC abstract submission date.]
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 2008 to be included in the program. The
conference will take place 17-19 April 2008 on the campus of the University of
Kentucky in Lexington.

For specific information on the Language Technology sessions, contact the
division leader at the coordinates listed below.
We look forward to seeing you in beautiful springtime Kentucky for the
continuation of past successes and the start of an exciting new series in
literature, culture, and linguistics at "LangTech at the KFLC"!
