Meeting Description:

The Association for Teaching and Learning Indigenous Languages of Latin 
America (ATLILLA) and the Kellogg Institute for International Studies at the 
University of Notre Dame invite proposals for panels, individual papers, 
round table discussions, interactive workshops, poster sessions, and 
technological tools showcases to be presented at the second Symposium 
on Teaching and Learning Indigenous Languages of Latin America 
(STLILLA-2011). Proceedings of the Symposium will be published.

STLILLA-2011 will bring together instructors, practitioners, activists,
indigenous leaders, scholars, and learners of indigenous languages. The
symposium will focus on research and pedagogy related to the diverse 
languages and cultures of indigenous populations in Latin America and the 
Caribbean.

This second symposium will build on the accomplishments of the 2008 
Symposium on Teaching Indigenous Languages of Latin America (STILLA), 
the first initiative of this scope in the world, which resulted in the formation of 
the Association for Teaching and Learning Indigenous Languages of Latin 
America.

indigenous languages

General Proposal Guidelines

Proposals and presentations are welcome in English, Spanish or 
Portuguese. 
All proposals, regardless of type, must include the following:

-Name and title of the author/organizer, institutional affiliation, and contact 
information
-Title of the proposed presentation
-Abstract (300 words)
-Indicate any equipment needs for your presentation
-Proposals for panels and round table discussions must also include:
-Name, title, and institutional affiliation for each additional participant
-Role or proposed topic to be covered by each additional participant (150 
words)
-Indication that all proposed participants have been contacted and have 
agreed to participate

The submission of proposals will be handled through an online submission 
system. 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 and 
the deadline is December 6, 2010.  Each proposal will be reviewed by the 
Proposal Review Committee.
