==========================================================================

        CALL FOR PROPOSALS FOR THREE TESOL 2000 ELECTRONIC VILLAGE
                             SPECIAL EVENTS

                "NAVIGATING THE NEW MILLENNIUM" CONVENTION
                           March 14-18, 2000
                Vancouver Convention and Exhibition Centre
                   Vancouver, British Columbia Canada

         INTERNET FAIR,  SOFTWARE FAIR and DEVELOPERS SHOWCASE

           ***DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS:  JANUARY 15, 2000***

You are invited to submit a proposal for participation in one or more of
these TESOL 2000 CALL Interest Section Special Events, according to the
guidelines below. Submit a separate proposal for each demonstration you
wish to be considered for. You are welcome to submit proposals to more than
one event, and it is possible to have more than one proposal accepted
(depending on space availability and quality of the submission). Windows
and Macintosh equipment will be available at no charge, along with CD ROM
drives, Internet connections, and (for the Showcase only) projection
equipment. Plan to bring a minimum of 100 handouts per Fair/Showcase
acceptance slot -- these are very popular events!

WHAT HAPPENS AT THE FAIRS:
Presenters have approximately 20-30 minutes to demonstrate their material.
Participants walk around and drop in and out of demonstrations, thus
precluding highly structured presentations. A demonstration may be repeated
a second time (an additional 20 to 25 minutes), if interest warrants and
space allows.

WHAT HAPPENS AT THE SHOWCASE:
There is one presenter at a time, demonstrating her/his program. Seating is
provided for the audience.

WHAT IS IT?
Internet Fair is a TESOL event intended for demonstrations by
teachers or teacher-developers who have used Internet-based programs,
websites, or activities with students. Demonstrations may highlight student
projects or activities or curriculum created for students or educators.

PROPOSALS
Please submit your proposal(s) for the Internet Fair online at
http://deil2.lang.uiuc.edu/Evproposals/

SOFTWARE FAIR

Coordinator:  Mary Head
Email:    < [log in to unmask]>


WHAT IS IT?
  The purpose of the Software Fair is to allow teachers to show how they use
different types of software in English instruction for in-class or
out-of-class activities. The software may be used as a part of the
classroom time, computer lab time, or as a homework activity to supplement
English language instruction.
     In the past, presenters have shown how they have used prepackaged software
such as Word Attack, Grolier Encyclopedia, Testmaster, or Phraze Craze for
increasing skills in vocabulary, reading, writing, and speaking &
understanding. Presenters will need to bring the software they are
demonstrating.

DEVELOPERS SHOWCASE
___________________________________________________
Coordinator:  Phil Hubbard
Email:    <[log in to unmask]>

WHAT IS IT?
The Developers Showcase is one of several ways in which the CALL-IS
disseminates information about computers and computer-assisted instruction
to the ESL/EFL professional community. The Showcase provides an
opportunity for the designers of ESL/EFL software to display their work,
and for potential users and software developers to examine and react to
work in progress at the sub-commercial or pre-commercial stage. This year
we are including materials in the following two categories:
   1) disk-based software, including floppy-disk, hard disk, and CD-ROMs.
   2) web-based software, including both programs that can be accessed
      directly from the web and those that can be downloaded.
Only work that is not yet on the market will be accepted. Software that is
already contracted with a publisher is considered to be on the market and
as such is not acceptable. Software that has been offered for sale
independently, or which the presenter plans to sell independently
(self-publish) is also not acceptable, with the exception of new shareware
offerings, which are welcome provided the full version of the program is
made available.
