Meeting Description:

NAACLT is a non-profit professional organization whose goal is to bring together Celtic language teachers and researchers in Canada and the United States and to foster contacts with others through the world who are interested in promoting the teaching and learning of Celtic languages in North America.

The Celtic Languages: From the Viking Age to Modern Times conference will be held June 4-6, 2015 at Portland State University in Portland, Oregon.

NAACLT has convened an Annual Conference since 1995 at which presentations have been made on various topics relating to teaching and research in Celtic languages. The conferences have been very successful in enabling those active in the teaching of Scottish Gaelic, Irish, Manx, Welsh, Breton and Cornish to meet with each other, share ideas and concerns, to socialize and maintain further contact.

NAACLT includes but is not limited to academic professionals. People involved in Celtic language learning and teaching from every walk of life are invited to participate, including:

- Community-based language teachers
- Celtic language enthusiasts
- Celtic language policy makers
- Celtic-language musicians

Guest Speakers:

Gerard Killeen (Marylhurst University, Oregon)
Wayne Harbert (Cornell University)

Call for Papers:

We are now accepting abstracts for twenty-minute talks in any of the following (or related) areas:

- Methods, techniques, and best practices in teaching Celtic languages
- Incorporating Celtic cultures into the classroom or learning experience
- Application of computer technology to Celtic language teaching or research
- Pedagogical materials: what works, what doesn't
- Topics in Celtic linguistics, sociolinguistics, and Second Language Acquisition
- Language policy and planning in the Celtic world
- Promotion or appreciation of Celtic languages and cultures

Please send abstracts of between 200-300 words to Kevin Scannell (kscanne at gmail.com) by April 1, 2015. 

Information about accommodations and conference registration is available on the NAACLT web site http://www.naaclt.org/.

We offer a $100 scholarship for financial assistance to partially offset the cost of attending the conference. If you are interested in presenting a paper and would benefit from this modest scholarship, please indicate on your submission of the paper that you would like to be considered for the scholarship.
