*CALL FOR PROPOSALS*

The *Symposium on World Languages Education (SOWLE)* is an annual
conference that provides language teachers with opportunities to discuss
current trends and issues in world language education. The Symposium is
hosted by the Graduate School of Translation, Interpretation, and Language
Education (GSTILE) at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at
Monterey (MIIS).



The 2020 Symposium will be held *virtually on November 7**th** & 14**th**,
2020. *Since this year’s symposium will be hosted completely online,
presenters and attendees can participate from all around the world!

This year’s symposium theme is *Language Education in 2020: Tackling Racial
Inequities. *The SOWLE committee considers this to be the recognition that
inclusive world language teachers must actively adapt their classrooms and
communities to better serve the interests and needs of their students by
addressing the racism still present in our disciplines and institutions.



We promote the equitable treatment of all races

include:*

We envision SOWLE 2020 as an opportunity to create space to explore these
issues with colleagues in a safe and impactful way. We understand that at
this time, many of us are unsure how to navigate these important
conversations regarding race. To promote meaningful conversations, select
one of the following format options (descriptions on submission form):



   1. *Article/Book Discussion*
   2. *Critical Resource Analysis*
   3. *Guided Reflection Session*
   4. *Graduate Student “Poster” Fair*
   5. *Panel*
   6. *Prerecorded/Live Webinar + Live Q&A*
   7. *Research-based Presentation*
   8.

*Storytelling  *



Please note that we will ask *all accepted presenters to consent to being
recorded,* to provide equitable access to their sessions to participants in
all timezones.



Each proposal selected will offer attendees a new approach, perspective,
activity, or tool for promoting racial equity in language education.
Proposals should describe the session focus in detail, including plans for
engaging participants. Proposals that integrate technology and distance
learning pedagogies will be given priority. We particularly welcome
proposals integrating personal experiences of BIPOC and those proposals
will be prioritized.



Please share this Call for Proposals with your colleagues!



Proposals are *due by 12:00 midnight (PST) on Saturday, September 15, 2020*
.

*Late proposals will not be considered.*
