North American Association of Celtic Language Teachers
8th Annual NAACLT Conference
2002
Call for Papers

The eighth annual NAACLT Conference will take place at St. Francis
Xavier University, Antigonish, Nova Scotia, Canada, May 24-26, 2002.
This signals a return for the conference to Nova Scotia whose Cape
Breton Island is North America's last bastion of Scottish Gaelic.

St. Francis Xavier University (popularly known as "St. FX") has for a
hundred and ten years, with short intervals such as during World War I,
been involved in teaching Scottish Gaelic, the language of the
university's Founding Fathers and of the province's immigrants from the
Highlands and Islands of Scotland. At the end of the 19th century, these
immigrants made up one-third of Nova Scotia's population. Today, the
Celtic Department at St. FX continues to uphold the mandate to teach,
maintain, and support initiatives for Scottish Gaelic. In addition to
this and a full complement of other Celtic courses, the department
offers two levels of Irish Gaelic.

Abstracts for individual papers or workshops are welcome on the
following topics involving any one of the modern Celtic languages.
Celtic language teachers are especially encouraged to present workshops
or make presentations concerning methods, materials, and program
development.

* Teaching methods for Celtic languages and experiences with them
* Experiences and studies of second language learners and their teachers
* Historical studies of Celtic language teaching
* Dialect choice in language learning
* Celtic language acquisition
* Sociological, psychological and psycholinguistic studies relating to
Celtic languages
* Celtic languages and gender
* Language learning materials
* Qualifications and accreditation of Celtic language teachers
* Language policy and planning
* Syllabus design
* Assessment and examination
* The application of computer technology to Celtic language teaching
* Celtic language learning and the World-Wide Web
* The design, evaluation and use of Computer-Assisted Language Learning
packages for Celtic languages

All presentations will be 20 minutes long with a 10- minute discussion
period following. Send three double-spaced printed copies of a 200-word
abstract with name, address, voice and fax number, e-mail address and
institutional affiliation (if applicable) on the first copy. Second and
third copy should have no identification. Also send one copy of a
50-word summary to be included in the conference program.

Send abstracts and summary in printed form or e-mail to : Catriona
Parsons, Celtic Dep't., St. Francis Xavier University, Antigonish, Nova
Scotia, CANADA B2G 2W5. E-mail : cparsons at stfx.ca
