Dear friends and colleagues.

some members of your organizations. Encourage them to contact me with  
questions.

Could you please forward this note to members of your organization.  
Thanks in advance.

To augment its support of LCTL teachers, the LCTL Project at CARLA,  
the U of Minnesota, will  award grants of up to $4,000 for the  
development and submission of sharable material for teaching a LCTL.  
The materials will be used to expand the LCTL Project's growing  
collection of web-based instructional materials.

Cooperative proposals (from between 2 and 5 LCTL teachers) are  
encouraged for this competitive round. The deadline for application  
submission is Monday, 5 December 2005.

Successful proposals will clearly demonstrate how the material would  
be used by a classroom teacher or by independent students. Proposed  
projects will preferably offer extended activities that include  
authentic pictures/sound/videos. Development of  independent-study  
material and activities is also encouraged in this competition if the  
applicants document a national need .

For a more complete description and application form, please see the  
LCTL page at:

Please feel free to distribute this announcement to all LCTL teachers.
