SIXTH ANNUAL CLAC CONFERENCE *Exploring Approaches to *
*Cultures & Languages Across the Curriculum*
[image: CLAC Logo]
*March 9-10, 2012*
*The University Hotel Minneapolis*
*Minneapolis, MN*
*FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS*
*Deadline: September 30, 2011*
The 6th annual conference on *Cultures and Languages Across the
Curriculum*(CLAC) provides an opportunity for faculty, graduate
instructors, and
administrators to share expertise in building and managing post-secondary
CLAC programs. The conference theme will address the practical issues
related to developing successful pedagogical models for the CLAC classroom.
*
Cultures and Languages Across the Curriculum*
The CLAC movement intends to make global competence a reality for students
and to create alliances among educators to share practices and methods for
incorporating an international dimension in curricula, and, more generally,
to achieve internationalization goals. General principles of CLAC include:
- A focus on communication and content;
- An emphasis on developing meaningful content-focused language use
outside traditional language classes;
- An approach to language use and cross-cultural skills as a means for
the achievement of global intellectual synthesis, in which students learn to
combine and interpret knowledge produced in other languages and in other
cultures.
Within this large framework, CLAC can take many forms, depending on specific
content and curricular goals within a discipline. For more information on
CLAC, visit the CLAC Consortium website:
http://clacconsortium.org/<http://ecommunication.umn.edu/t/263327/2584096/81763/0/>
*
Conference Themes*
A specific focus of the 6th annual conference on Cultures and Languages
Across the Curriculum will be on presenting and discussing a variety of
models and points of focus for CLAC programs at the post-secondary level. We
aim to engage seasoned CLAC practitioners, those in the process of
implementing programs, and prospective CLAC program developers in a dialogue
to share ideas and best practices in our evolving and unique field of
education for global citizens. CLAC attendees generally come to the
conference eager to learn more about how CLAC programs are implemented at
other institutions. CLAC 2012 will provide an opportunity for more extended
discussions examining design and delivery of a CLAC curriculum.
We invite proposals for papers (30 min presentation, including10 min Q&A) or
panels (presentation for 60 min total + 30 min Q&A) or poster presentations
on any issue relating to CLAC, although the following topics are of
particular interest:
- CLAC course design (syllabi, classroom activities, lesson plans).
- Innovative CLAC programs.
- Focus on development of advanced translingual and transcultural
competence.
- Evaluation and assessment.
- Incorporating technology in CLAC.
- Theoretical frameworks for a successful CLAC program.
