Subject: Call for Papers: Language Technology at KFLC 2012

Hello all,

Year 7 of LangTech at the KFLC!  Language Technology in the Bluegrass!

The new Call for Papers 2012 is ready and included below.

Technology for *literary, cultural, and linguistic* teaching and research continues to be a special focus of our call for papers, as we grow and prosper in the international, multilingual, multidisciplinary setting of the KFLC.

We are, of course, also continuing our wonderfully successful sessions on the use of technology in the acquisition of language skills.

We hope that this will be the year that you and your colleagues join us for LangTech at the KFLC!

Mark Lauersdorf


P.S. A .pdf version of this Call for Papers is available for you to share with your colleagues who may not be on LLTI.  Please contact me directly if you would like one.

P.P.S. For those who may not be familiar with the KFLC, here is a short blurb about this long-standing academic conference:

"The KFLC is an international academic conference that brings together top researchers in language, literature, culture, and linguistics in the fields of Arabic, East Asian, French and Francophone, German-Austrian-Swiss, Hispanic, Italian, Luso-Afro-Brazilian, and Russian Studies, as well as Language Technology, Translation and Cultural Studies, and Second Language Acquisition.  It takes place in April each year, attracting over 750 scholars to the campus of the University of Kentucky in Lexington Kentucky.  In 2012 the KFLC is marking its 65th consecutive year."



----- CALL FOR PAPERS - LANGTECH AT THE KFLC -----

It's Year 7 of LangTech at the KFLC!  At the intersection between technology and literary, cultural, language, and linguistic teaching and research, we welcome submissions on any aspect of:

**Technology for Literature & Culture, Language & Linguistics**

This includes, but is certainly not limited to:
- integrating technology into literature, culture, and linguistics *curricula and classrooms*
- *faculty research* in literature, culture, and linguistics employing technology ("digital humanities")
- technology for *student projects and research* in literature, culture, and linguistics

Abstracts are, of course, also 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
- *mentoring* language educators in optimal use of technology in their teaching and research
- employing technology-based *research publication* in language scholarship
- *managing* language technology in an academic setting

The KFLC is an international academic conference that brings together top researchers in language, literature, culture, and linguistics in the fields of Arabic, East Asian, French and Francophone, German-Austrian-Swiss, Hispanic, Italian, Luso-Afro-Brazilian, and Russian Studies, as well as Translation and Cultural Studies and Second Language Acquisition.  We would like to see this broad range represented in the Language Technology sessions, to encourage cross-pollination of ideas across the languages and disciplines working to integrate technology into their teaching and research programs, and to encourage participants from the literature, culture, and linguistics sessions to join us in our discussions.

Abstracts should be no more than 250-300 words in length and should be submitted directly online at:

**KFLC Abstract Site: http://www.kflcabstracts.uky.edu/**

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 November 2011.**

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 2012 to be included in the program.  The conference will take place 19-21 April 2012 on the campus of the University of Kentucky in Lexington.

For more information on conference logistics, please visit: http://web.as.uky.edu/kflc/.  For specific information on the Language Technology sessions, contact the division director at the coordinates listed below.

If you've been with us before, make Year 7 the year you return!  If you've never been, make this the year to join us in beautiful springtime Kentucky for "LangTech at the KFLC"!
