>Subject: IALLT Session at NECTFL '09: Call for Presenters
>Date: Tue, 28 Oct 2008 14:32:16 -0500

The Northeast Conference on the Teaching of Foreign Languages will  
have its 2009 meeting in New York City at the Marriott Marquis Hotel  
in Times Square from April 16th to 18th.  The International  
Association for Language Learning Technology (IALLT) is now seeking  
one or two proposals for sessions (either individuals or panelists)  
for this conference, following up on last year's very successful  
panels.  Topics especially requested are 1) How and What Kinds of  
Technology Can Be Used Successfully to Promote Language Exchanges,  
and 2) How Can Technology Help Create Communities (this could be in  
the sense of the U.S. National Standards notion of communities) and  
Real World Understanding in These Communities.  Both topics fit  
within the overall conference topic for 2009, "Engaging Communities:   
The World is Our Classroom".

Please send proposals to Mike Ledgerwood at [log in to unmask] in  
the next two weeks.

The Northeast Conference is the U.S's oldest and second largest  
conference of foreign language teaching professionals.  The  
Conference considers itself "The Cutting Edge Conference" and its  
over 2000 attendees have a huge variety of sessions and activities to  
chose from.  New York City's Broadway and Times Square are just steps  
away from the Conference and some Conference activities take good  
advantage of this vibrant atmosphere.  For further information on the  
Conference please visit its web site at http://www.nectfl.org.

Unfortunately, neither NECTFL nor IALLT can assist with presenter  
expenses.  However, the Conference does have a roommate service and  
provides tips on lowering expenses for the Conference at its web  
site.  Presenters from the greater NYC metro area may have lower  
expenses, too.

Best to all and hoping for some proposals very soon!
