CALL FOR PAPERS
Deadline December 15, 2010
Expanding Our Horizons:
Seventh International Conference on Language Teacher Education
May 19-21, 2011
Radisson University Hotel
Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA
The Seventh International Conference on Language Teacher Education
welcomes proposals for papers and symposia on all aspects of the
education and professional development of language teachers. Papers
and symposia may report on data-based research, theoretical and
conceptual analyses, or best practices in language teacher education.
The mission of the conference is to address the education of teachers
of all languages, at all instructional and institutional levels, and
in all the many national and international contexts in which this
takes place, including: English as a Second or Foreign Language
(ESL/EFL) instruction; foreign/modern/world language teaching;
bilingual education; immersion education; indigenous and minority
language education; and the teaching of less commonly taught
languages. The conference aims to bring together teacher educators
from these many contexts to discuss and share research, theory, and
best practices and to initiate and sustain meaningful professional
dialogue across languages, levels, and settings. The conference will
focus on the following four broad themes:
* The Knowledge Base of Language Teacher Education;
* Social, Cultural, and Political Contexts of Language Teacher Education;
* Collaborations in Language Teacher Education; and
* Processes of Language Teacher Education
The deadline for submission of proposals for papers and symposia is
December 15, 2010.

Teaching in English may harm your child's future
University of Leeds UK Honorary Senior Research Fellow, Hywel Coleman,
explained that teaching in an unfamiliar language can also cause
alienation between home and school, poor educational achievement, poor
acquisition of foreign languages, such as English, ethnic
marginalisation and long-term decline of indigenous languages.

Wall Street Journal
13 Tongues, Three Years
Elizabeth Gilbert ate, prayed and loved her way to best-sellerdom.
Julie Powell cooked her way through Julia Child's oeuvre. And now
Ellen Jovin, her book deal still in the aspirational phase, hopes to
study her way to fame and fortune. Learning languages, that is.
Italian, Chinese, German, Russian, French, Korean, Arabic; 13
languages in all over the course of three years, and lingering no more
than three months on any particular one. She's 15 months into it.

The Huffington Post
Time to Take a Hard Look at U.S. Linguistic Preparedness
Last Friday, President Obama announced that Gen. Jim Jones is stepping
down as White House national security adviser, to be replaced by Tom
Donilon. Changes in staff often serve as opportunities to take a fresh
look at longstanding issues. Where should he begin? Language.
