See below for specific guidelines on the different types of proposals.
Types of Presentation

Presentations may be made in a number of formats, as listed below. You must
indicate the proposed format in your submission. The Conference Committee
may negotiate the proposed delivery format with the speaker.
Panel Presentations (75 minutes)

Individuals or institutional sponsors may propose to organize a panel of
presentations on a related subject, with each presenter offering a
perspective on the topic.  Panels may include a chair/moderator, three or
four presenters, and a discussant. Depending on the number of panelists,
each presenter will be allotted 15-20 minutes to deliver his/her paper,
allowing 15 minutes at the end of the panel for commentary by a discussant
and/or questions.

Panel proposals must include information on all proposed participants and
must indicate that they have been contacted and agree to participate.  The
individual submitting the proposal will be the sole contact person regarding
the panel.
Individual Papers (15-20 minutes)

Individual paper proposals provide an opportunity to present original
contributions to the research, theory, and practice of indigenous language
teaching and learning. Submissions should demonstrate an awareness of
relevant literature, and clearly indicate the importance of the proposed
topic to conference themes.

Upon acceptance, individual papers will be organized into panels of three or
four by subject.  As described above, depending on the number of
participants on a given panel, individual presenters will have 15-20 minutes
to deliver the content of their individual papers.
Round Table Discussions (45 minutes)

Individuals or institutional sponsors may propose to organize a round table
discussion on a topic related to symposium themes.  Like panels, round table
discussions are coordinated by an organizer/moderator, and offer different
perspectives on the proposed topic.  However, rather than focusing on the
presentation of individual papers, presentation time for each discussant is
limited to 5-7 minutes.  The majority of the session is devoted to dialogue
between the discussants and the audience.

In the best round tables, the speakers are aware of each other's work and
views, and they refute or support those views in their own talks.  There's
real interchange, as well as the chance to go in-depth very quickly. They
are time-efficient and encourage audience participation in the discussion.

Proposals for round table discussions must include information on all
proposed discussants and must indicate that they have been contacted and
agree to participate.  The individual submitting the proposal will be the
sole contact person regarding the round table discussion.
Interactive Workshops (45 minutes)

Presenters spend a short amount of time on the delivery of the pedagogical
concept, theory or model, and the majority of the session is devoted to
direct, hands-on participation by the attendees. Workshops are organized to
address a theme, discussion is informal and interactive, and *papers are not
presented.*
Poster Sessions / Technological Tools Showcases

Poster and technological tool presenters will be allocated a time slot
within the main symposium venue to showcase their pedagogical and
technological tool or model through a poster exhibition or a technological
tool showcase. Symposium participants will be able to view displays at their
leisure during session breaks.

Poster/technological tool proposals should briefly describe not only the
subject matter to be presented, but also how the material will be presented
visually.

*Proposals will only be accepted through the online submission
system<https://mail.google.com/mail/html/compose/static_files/proposalform.shtml>and
the deadline is December 6, 2010.  Each proposal will be reviewed by
the
Proposal Review Committee.*
