Call Deadline: 01-Oct-2010 

Meeting Description:

The Coalition of Distinguished Language Centers, the only international 
organization dedicated to research and application of research in the area 
of teaching and achieving native-like foreign-language proficiency, will be 
holding its 8th annual symposium at the Westin Baltimore-Washington 
Airport in Linthicum, Maryland  December 3-4, 2010. 

Call For Papers

Professors, researchers, administrators, and others with experience in 
teaching, studying, translation/interpretation, or assessment at the near-
native level of proficiency in any foreign language are invited to submit a 
one-page abstract (exclusive of bibliography) on any aspect of language 
study at the distinguished level. (For those looking for a definition of 
"distinguished" level/ILR Level 4, a description can be found at 
www.govtilr.org). There will be several areas of focus: teaching methods 
and practices, language learning experiences, research, 
translation/interpretation, program development/management, and 
assessment (proficiency, diagnostic, dynamic, other). Whole panels may be 
suggested and abstracts submitted together, if desired. The working 
language of the conference will be English. However, presentations may be 
in any language, as long as there are enough presentations in that 
language to form a panel. Abstracts should be written in the language in 
which they will be presented and should be sent to the CDLC Operations 
Director, Boris Shekhtman, via email (sb at mysltc.com) or to Dina 
Kupchanka (dina_kupchanka at hotmail.com) no later than October 1, 2010.

Abstracts will be peer-reviewed. Notification of acceptance (or rejection) of 
proposals will be made on or about October 15. Following the conference, 
presentations will be published in a Proceedings volume.

Updated information about the conference will be posted on the CDLC 
website through the opening of the conference: 
www.distinguishedlanguagecenters.org.
