CALL FOR PROPOSALS

National Council of Organizations of Less Commonly Taught Languages

Sixth National Conference

Los Angeles, California

May 2-4, 2003

Focus on the Learner in the LCTLs:  Profiles and Prospects

The Sixth National Conference of the National Council of Organizations
of Less Commonly Taught Languages (NCOLCTL) is scheduled May 2-4,
2003, at the University of California, Los Angeles

Proposals are solicited for individual papers, colloquia and poster
sessions. The formats are described below. Proposals should fall
broadly within the Conference theme of "Focus on the Learner in the
LCTLs: Profiles, Motivations and Opportunities."  Although proposed
presentations may focus on individual languages, each should 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 setting students
Distance education students;

Proposals on learner needs analysis are especially welcome. Other
topics such as curriculum and materials development, teacher training
and professionalization, and research studies will also be
considered.

Individual papers are 20 minutes long. A paper should focus clearly on
one or more issues related to the theme. Papers may be based on
research or practical experience.

Colloquia are 90 minutes. A colloquium proposal should specify three
or more presenters who will address one of the conference themes.
Preference will be given to panels 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 of either the traditional poster
format, such as presentation of materials or of results of research in
progress, or demonstrations of instructional or information
technology. However, any proposal requiring technical support must
specify in detail the type of hardware and software needed.

Proposals should indicate the title and kind of presentation (paper,
colloquium or poster session) in the upper left-hand corner, and the
name of the presenter and the presenter's primary language(s) in the
upper right-hand corner.  The proposed title should not exceed ten
words.  Next should be a 50-75 word abstract suitable for inclusion in
the conference program.  The proposal text should be 150-200 words
long and may not exceed one page in length.

If possible, proposals should be submitted in electronic format by
email to Scott McGinnis: smcginnis at nflc.org.  If email is not
available, proposals may be sent to the following address by hard
copy:

Scott McGinnis

National Foreign Language Center
7100 Baltimore Avenue, Suite 300
College Park, MD 20740
Phone   301-403-1750 x35
Fax      301-403-1754
Email    smcginnis at nflc.org


The final deadline for receipt of proposals is December 1, 2002.
Applicants will be notified by email within one week of the receipt of
their submissions.  They will be notified by the Program Committee by
January 15, 2003, whether their proposal has been accepted.
