Subject:MLA Discussion of Applying Linguistics to Middle Eastern Language
Teaching

2014 MLA Annual Convention
9 to 12 January 2014, Chicago

*Second* Call for papers:

The General Linguistics Discussion Group of the Modern Language Association
invites your paper proposal showing linguistics applied for the teaching
and learning of a Middle-Eastern or Eastern Mediterranean language in North
America. While this call envisions proposals involving Arabic, Hebrew,
Persian, Turkish, or other language or dialect from the Middle East or
Western Asia, other languages or cultures are not excluded. Those
submitting proposals should be members of MLA.

*Deadline for proposals is March 15, 2013* - please submit your 250-word
proposal electronically to Terrence Potter (tmp28 at georgetown.edu)

**This is intentionally a general call to permit proposals from different
languages on a broad array of teaching/learning topics where linguistics is
used. This might include: teaching/learning of literature through discourse
analysis; teaching/learning of grammatical case by native speakers of
English; support for the improvement of pronunciation; vocabulary learning
research and tools; the incorporation of discrete elements of cultural
information in the syllabus; teaching/learning translation; syllabus and
curriculum development for less commonly taught languages, etc. Thank you
for making our languages, cultures and hard work visible in a national
forum dedicated to the teaching, learning and research in modern languages.

Thank you for sharing this call for papers with graduate students, teaching
and research faculty.

Interim Chair, Executive Committee
