CALL for PAPERS -- 2005

Meeting the Challenges of Classroom Implementation:
CONTENT, TASKS and PROJECTS
May 18-22, 2005


The Graduate School of Language and Educational Linguistics at the 
Monterey Institute welcomes proposals from language educators who 
have used, developed or researched materials, tasks, projects and 
curricula in content-based courses.  We particularly encourage the 
participation of instructors of less-commonly taught languages 
(LCTLs).

The conference will once again bring together educators from a 
variety of languages, levels and contexts to a) identify critical 
elements in the use of content, tasks and projects, and their 
relationship to each other; b) share successful program and 
curricular models; and c) exchange ideas, materials and approaches 
for meeting the challenges of classroom implementation and assessment.

Plenary speakers:  Donna Brinton, David Nunan, Amy Ohta

Sessions will focus on the following areas:
      * Program and Curriculum Development
      * Pedagogy: Aspects of Effective Classroom Implementation
      * Assessment of Learning
      * Integration of Technology

Pre-conference workshops will also be offered.
