*18th ALTA ANNUAL CONFERENCE*

*CALL FOR PROPOSALS DEADLINE*

*EXTENDED to September 30th, 2013*

The 18th African Language Teachers Association (ALTA) Annual Meeting is
scheduled for April 24-27, 2014, at the Westin Chicago Northwest, IL (with
pre-conference workshops scheduled for April 24th, 2014). Proposals are
solicited for individual papers, colloquia, and poster sessions to be
presented at this conference.

Submissions should fall broadly within the conference theme,* "Collaboration
and Internationalization: Enhancing and Sustaining Quality Outcomes for
African Languages" *Although proposed presentations may focus on individual
languages, each paper should strive to address issues that clearly relate
to more than just that one language. The focus of session topics might
include heritage language learners, bilingual education students,
autonomous and self-instructional settings, distance learning, outreach and
advocacy initiatives, and the use of technology in teaching LCTL's. Other
topics such as curriculum and materials development, teacher training and
professionalization, research, and assessment will also be welcomed.

*Individual papers* are to be 20 minutes long which should include time for
questions and discussion. A paper should focus clearly on issues related to
the main conference theme. Papers may be based on research or practical
experience.

*Colloquia* are to be 60 minutes long. A colloquium proposal should specify
three or more presenters who will address the conference theme. Preference
will be given to colloquia that cut across different languages or language
groups.

*Poster* and presentation sessions may focus on completed work or work in
progress related to the teaching and/or learning of less commonly taught
languages. They may be in either: the traditional poster format, such as
presentation of materials, or of research completed or in progress, or
demonstrations of instructional or information technology. (NB, any
proposal in this category requiring technical support must specify in
detail the type of hardware or software needed).
