 ==========================================================================
Please keep your conference announcement as short as you can; LINGUIST
will not post conference announcements which in our opinion are
excessively long.  Also, please remember that, once posted, your
announcement will be permanently available at our website:

For this reason, we discourage multiple submissions of the same
conference announcement.  Thank you for your cooperation.

Transformations: Technology, Foreign Languages, and Undergraduate
Education


The Consortium for Language Teaching and Learning and the Section on
Foreign Languages & Literatures at the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology are pleased to announce a national conference, October
23-25, 1998.

Intended for foreign language faculty, administrators, directors of
humanities computing, and language laboratory directors, this
conference will examine the transformations of the foreign language
classroom, the role of the teacher, the institutional mission, the
curriculum, and the infrastructure in the light of developments in
multimedia computer technology. The conference will not be an occasion
for demonstrating hardware and software. Instead, it seeks to pose new
questions about fundamental changes that all foreign language programs
and all institutions are currently undergoing.

Speakers will include Jacqueline Brown (Princeton University),
Gilberte Furstenberg (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), Henry
Jenkins (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), William A. Johnson
(Bucknell University), Yoko Koike (Haverford College), Claire Kramsch
(University of California at Berkeley), Karen Landahl (University of
Chicago), James S.  Noblitt (University of North Carolina at Chapel
Hill), Slava Paperno (Cornell University), and Thomas Thornton
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology).

The conference will be held at the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts, beginning Friday afternoon,
October 23, 1998, and concluding mid-day, Sunday, October 25, 1998.
