The Annual Conference on Teaching Spanish to Native Speakers is held
annually in Las Cruces, NM. The Conference is dedicated to the
dissemination of information regarding issues, methods, materials, and
research concerning the development of Spanish language skills among
individuals of Spanish-speaking backgrounds. The conference is open to
community members, teachers of all levels (K-12, Adult Basic Education,
Community College, University), and researchers who wish to share and
learn about the unique challenges of instructing this diverse group of
language learners.

Conference Co-Chairs Cecilia Rodríguez Pino and Patricia
MacGregor-Mendoza seek submissions for the 11th Conference on Teaching
Spanish to Native Speakers. Submissions are being requested for
30-minute paper sessions (20 minutes presentation 10 minutes discussion)
and 2-hour workshop sessions (1.5 hours presentation, .5 hour
discussion) and half-day workshops (3.5 hour presentation, .5 hour
discussion). Topics may be drawn from any discipline, but should be
broadly related to advancing knowledge of this growing field by
identifying the unique social or linguistic characteristics of Native
Spanish Speakers (e.g. issues in identity, social history, dialect,
proficiency, etc.), developing pedagogical theory and/or implementing
pedagogical techniques that address the specific needs of Spanish
speakers.

following questions: What are the overall goals of the workshop? What
types of materials will be presented to the participants? In what
activities will the participants engage as part of this workshop and in
what manner (individual, pairs, groups)? What skills, abilities and
materials will participants take away with them as a result of this
workshop? At the end of your abstract please include the name,
