Russian at ACTFL 2014 San Antonio

[Benjamin Rifkin]

Dear SEELANGers:

The 2014 conference of the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL), will be held from Nov. 21-23 in San Antonio, Texas, at the Henry B. Gonzales Convention, right across the street from the ASEEES conference on the very same days, will feature more than 20 sessions on the teaching of Russian language and culture.


Almost all of these sessions have been marked as “applicable to all languages,” so you won’t be able to find them through the conference’s Mobile App by searching by language.  However, since at least one of the presenters is a Russianist, I am confident that there will be Russian-related examples in each of the presentations listed below.


Please make a note of this e-mail for your reference. In the early fall, I will post an updated listing of the conference sessions with dates, times, and locations of the sessions to facilitate your attendance at the conference.


In addition to the sessions, please note that the Exhibit Hall will feature many presenters with Russian-language materials, including those listed below.

If you had a paper accepted at ACTFL 2014 and your paper is not on this list, please let me know and I will correct it for the update I post to SEELANGs in the early fall.


Congratulations to all those Russianists whose papers and panels were accepted for presentation at ACTFL 2014 and thanks to the American Council of Teachers of Russian for sponsoring our networking session at the ACTFL conference.


Please join thousands of foreign language educators and, among them, over 100 dedicated instructors of Russian in San Antonio for ACTFL 2014!  For more information, see www.actfl.org.  

Sincerely,

Ben Rifkin
