LangTech at the KFLC is 5 years old in 2010 and we'd like you to join us to help mark the occasion with your high-caliber contributions. We are continuing our efforts to attract papers discussing technology as a tool for *literary, cultural, and linguistic* teaching and research, as we grow and prosper in the international, multilingual, multidisciplinary setting of the KFLC. We are also, of course, continuing our successful sessions on the use of technology in the acquisition of language skills. We hope that you will consider joining us for language technology in the Bluegrass! Mark Lauersdorf P.S. A .pdf version of this Call for Papers is available for you to share with your colleagues in your language programs 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 conference: "The KFLC is an international academic conference that brings together researchers in language, literature, culture, and linguistics in the fields of Arabic, French, German, Hispanic, Italian, Luso-Afro-Brazilian, and Russian Studies, as well as Language Technology and Second Language Acquisition. It takes place in April each year on the campus of the University of Kentucky in Lexington Kentucky, and is marking its 63rd year in 2010." ----- CALL FOR PAPERS - LANGTECH AT THE KFLC ----- **LangTech at the KFLC is Five Years Old !** We are seeking high quality papers to help celebrate the fifth year of Language Technology as an official division of the Kentucky Foreign Language Conference.
