Please note the December 15 deadline. ---------------------------------------- CALL FOR PROPOSALS FOR THREE TESOL 2001 ELECTRONIC VILLAGE SPECIAL EVENTS TESOL 2001: "Gateway to the Future" February 27-March 3, 2001 Saint Louis, Missouri USA INTERNET FAIR, SOFTWARE FAIR and DEVELOPERS SHOWCASE ***DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS: December 15, 2000*** You are invited to submit a proposal for participation in one or more of these TESOL 2001 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. You can submit a proposal to either Fair online at http://deil2.lang.uiuc.edu/Evproposals/. WHAT HAPPENS AT THE SHOWCASE: There is one presenter at a time, demonstrating her/his program. Seating is provided for the audience. See below for how to submit a proposal to the Developers Showcase. _____INTERNET FAIR_____ Coordinator: Suzan Moody Email: [log in to unmask] 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: Norm Johnson 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. PROPOSALS Please submit your proposal(s) for the Software Fair online at http://deil2.lang.uiuc.edu/Evproposals/ _____DEVELOPERS SHOWCASE_____ Coordinator: Phil Hubbard Email: [log in to unmask] WHAT IS IT? The Developers Showcase provides an opportunity for the designers of ESL/EFL software to display their work, and for potential users, software developers, and marketers to examine and react to it.

Software that is already contracted with a publisher or that the presenter has offered or plans to offer for sale independently is not acceptable.
