Deadline Extension: New deadline is November 30th 2004 Theme
: The Eighth Annual Meeting of the National
Council of Less Commonly Taught Languages (NCOLCTL) is scheduled for April
15-17, 2005, in Madison, WI (with a pre-conference workshop scheduled
for April 14th). Proposals are solicited for individual papers, colloquia,
and poster sessions. Proposals should fall broadly within the conference
theme, “The Year of Languages: Expanding the Presence of Less Commonly
Taught Languages.” Although proposed presentations may focus on
individual languages, each should address issues that clearly relate to
more than just that one language. The focus of session topics might include
heritage language learners, bilingual education students, autonomous and
self-instructional settings, distance learning, outreach and advocacy
initiatives, and the use of technology in teaching LCTL’s. Other
topics such as curriculum and materials development, teacher training
and professionalization, research, and assessment will also be welcome.
Individual papers are to be 30 minutes
long. A paper should focus clearly on issues related to the main conference
theme. Papers may be based on research or practical experience. Colloquia
are to be 90 minutes long. A colloquium proposal should specify three
or more presenters who will address the conference theme. Preference will
be given to colloquia that cut across different languages or language
groups. Poster and presentation sessions may focus on completed work or
work in progress related to the teaching and/or learning of less commonly
taught languages. They may be in either the traditional poster format,
such as presentation of materials or of research completed or in progress,
or demonstrations of instructional or information technology. However,
any proposal requiring technical support must specify in detail the type
of hardware or software needed.Proposals should indicate the title and
kind of presentation (paper, colloquium or poster session) in the upper
left-hand corner and the name of the presenter/presenter’s primary
language(s) of interest in the upper right hand corner. The proposed title
should not exceed ten words. Next should be a 50-75 word abstract suitable
for inclusion in the conference program and NCOLCTL website. The proposal
text should be 150-200 words long and may not exceed one page in length.
The final deadline for receipt of proposals is November 30, 2004. Applicants
will be notified by the Program Committee by January 7, 2005 whether
or not their proposal has been accepted. Submission of proposals by email is strongly
encouraged, and should be sent to: ncolctl@mailplus.wisc.edu. If email is not available, proposals may
be sent by hard copy to:
