INTRODUCTION
The International Conference on Language Variation in Europe (ICLaVE)
aims at addressing any aspect of linguistic variation observed in
languages spoken in present-day Europe. The idea of setting up this
conference originated in the Coordination Committee of the European
Science Foundation Network on the Convergence and
Divergence of Dialects in a Changing Europe, which was
funded from 1995 to 1998. ICLaVE will continue work in
this and other areas related to language variation. The first
ICLaVE will take place in Barcelona June 29 - 30/ July 1,
2000, and will be organized by M. Teresa Turell (Universitat Pompeu
Fabra). The scientific program will consist of regular papers (selected
on the basis of abstracts), invited papers and poster presentations.

CALL FOR PAPERS: __SYNTAX in the SCHOOLS__
__Syntax in the Schools__, a quarterly newsletter published by the
Assembly for the Teaching of English Grammar (ATEG), an Assembly of the
National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE), seeks to foster discussion
and analysis of the teaching of English grammar at all grade levels -- K -
16. We solicit articles which describe, analyze and/or critique any and
all aspects of the teaching of grammar in our schools. For example, areas
to be considered include but are not limited to
* classroom practices in the teaching of grammar
* traditional vs. linguistic approaches to grammar
* why we should (or should not) teach what grammar
* how we should teach that grammar
* how we handle language varieties in the classroom
(AAVE, Appalachian English, Dominant Variety English
[AKA Standard English], etc.)
* teacher education as relevant to the teaching of grammar
* integrating grammar into writing, reading, and/or literature, etc.
On these matters, we welcome articles, reports from the schools and from
teacher education programs, as well as book reviews, textbook
evaluations, etc.
_______________________________
The Winter 2000 issue of Syntax in the Schools invites, in addition to the
above areas, consideration of State Standards of Learning regarding
grammar, as described below.
Notice of Special Issue: Winter 2000
STANDARDS OF LEARNING and THE TEACHING OF GRAMMAR
State Standards of Learning are sweeping across the nation, demanding
allegiance in our school classrooms. As teachers coming under ever
increasing scrutiny for what our students learn and how they perform on
state constructed standardized tests, we face new challenges in the
language arts classroom. For example, we must surely wonder how to keep
our classrooms alive, how to engage our students in authentic language
experience and discovery, all the while crafting that experience to assure
their success on state school exit exams. What have been your classroom
experiences and/or reflections regarding State standards for student
performance in grammar? We invite you address these concerns in the Winter
2000 issue of Syntax in the Schools.
We are accepting submissions on this and other topics now.
Please send submissions (both hard and soft copy [Microsoft Word in Mac
readable format]) to
