Education, will host a conference on Cultures and Languages Across the
Curriculum, November 5 - 6, 2005. The conference will examine
opportunities to expand the role of culture in LAC initiatives and will
consider alternative models that foster the acquisition of cross-cultural
competencies. This conference will also consider other LAC issues that
have not yet been adequately discussed or analyzed, including: <strong><b><font
face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-weight:normal'>1) How does LAC relate
to comparative literature, cultural studies, and area studies?</span></font></b></strong><b><span
style='font-weight:bold'> </span></b>2) How does LAC fit into the international
education missions of <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">U.S.</st1:country-region></st1:place>
government and industry (the “expert” model vs. the
“metropolitan migrant” model)? 3) How does LAC relate to
content-based language instruction and the development of new content-based FL
textbooks and technology? 4) How can we better link LAC to K-12 foreign
language and cross-cultural education as well as to post-secondary
international education, including study abroad? For more information, see
