>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!
