Submit a separate proposal for each Fair you wished to be considered for. You are welcome to submit more than one proposal, 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. ___________________________________________________ INTERNET FAIR (formerly Web Fair), Event #3011 ___________________________________________________ Send Proposals to: Suzan Moody 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.

The CALL Developers' Showcase is an expanded version of the Authors' Showcase, which has been a popular annual event at International TESOL for the past few years. It 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 Developers' 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. On the other hand, new shareware offerings are welcome. PROPOSAL Please include the following information: Required Information: *** *Name *** *Mailing Address *** *Phone and fax (as available) *** *Title of software *** *Hardware requirements *** *Availability (if applicable) *** *Summary of what the software does and its strengths and limitations *** *Level the software is appropriate for (e.g., elementary, beginning, advanced, pre-university, etc.) Optional Information: *** *Other information, examples or details as you think necessary. ___________________________________________________ Convention information updated regularly from the TESOL website: http://www.tesol.edu/
