For more information go to http://www.dickinson.edu/nectfl/proposalinfo.html. The proposal text is quite short! For general information about the conference please go to http://www.nectfl.org. The 2005 Conference will again be in New York City at the Marriott Marquis just off Times Square. This is a hotel with a Broadway theater inside of it, located close to many other major theaters, and Restaurant Row. Great location, great hotel, both. It will occur the last weekend of March/first weekend of April, 2005. It is certainly not necessary to be from the Northeastern US to present at or attend the Conference. Attendees come from all over the world. The Conference perceives itself as the "cutting edge conference" and one that likes to show how research relates to practice, yet presentations and workshops run the gamut of possibilities. Technology has been a major focus of the Conference in the past and continues to be an important subject. I hope that IALLT and LLTI members and readers will think hard about attending NECTFL and presenting at it. I will certainly be glad to help anyone writing a proposal with feedback on the proposal before submission. Please contact me at [log in to unmask] for more information. Best to all, Mikle D. Ledgerwood IALLT Affiliate Representative to the Northeast Conference on the Teaching of Foreign Languages and Chair of the Northeast Conference, 2005
