Call for Papers: Teaching Language in the 21st Century

From http://linguistlist.org/issues/22/22-3427.html

Teaching Language in the 21st Century
Workshops on Teaching Foreign and Second Languages
Co-hosted by the Departments of Romance Languages and Literatures and Learning and Instruction at SUNY University at Buffalo
Saturday, February 25th 2012

The organizers encourage workshops pertaining to all second and foreign languages, including ESL, but they ask that workshops be conducted primarily in English for the benefit of all participants. Please consider ways in which you can help participants apply the content of your workshop to their own classrooms (especially in those classrooms focusing on languages other than your own specialty). Workshops should be interactive and offer the participants skills and activities that they can modify to fit their own teaching situation.

Workshops will be 45 minutes in length and will be followed by a 15-minute question and answer period.

Possible session topics include, but are not limited to:

- L2 language skills such as listening, speaking, writing, reading, and cultural competence
- L2 knowledge sets such as vocabulary, morphology, syntax, and pronunciation

The deadline for workshop submissions is November 16th.
