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://www2.iei.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: John Skinner 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://www2.iei.uiuc.edu/Evproposals/ _____SOFTWARE FAIR_____ Coordinator: Susanne McLaughlin Email: [log in to unmask] WHAT IS IT? The Software Fair is an event for teachers to share how they use different types of software - in innovative, clever, or just plain efficient ways - in English instruction or assessment during 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, teachers/presenters have shown how they have used prepackaged software such as Focus on Grammar, Word Attack, Grolier Encyclopedia, Myst, Testmaster, or Phraze Craze for increasing skills in vocabulary, reading, writing, and speaking & understanding. Presenters will need to bring the software they are demonstrating. PC and Macintosh computers will be available. PROPOSALS Please submit your proposal(s) for the Software Fair online at http://www2.iei.uiuc.edu/Evproposals/ _____DEVELOPERS SHOWCASE_____ Coordinator: John E. Lackstrom 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, software developers, and marketers to examine and react to it. We especially welcome projects produced by teachers for their own students or projects produced under development grants. This Showcase includes 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. The Showcase is not a commercial venue. Only work that is not yet on the market will be considered. The following types of software are not acceptable for the Showcase: * Software that is already contracted with a publisher * Software that has been offered for sale independently, or which the presenter plans to sell independently, including by subscription or as shareware * Software given away free to promote a commercial interest PROPOSALS Please read the submission information at http://www2.iei.uiuc.edu/Evproposals/CFP2002.html and contact John Lackstrom at [log in to unmask] ------------------------------------------------------------ TESOL CALL-IS Website: http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~call/ ------------------------------------------------------------ This message sent from John Avery, Instructor of English as a Second Language at Green River community College, Auburn, WA- ESL Site: http:www.ivygreen.ctc.edu/avery Email: [log in to unmask] or [log in to unmask]
