Call Deadline: 01-May-2020 

Meeting Description:

The goal of this symposium is to serve as a professional development forum
tailored to the needs of post-secondary language educators, which will not
only help to enhance the quality of language programs but also provide
opportunities for inter-institutional collaboration. During the symposium, we
will host workshops and sessions about different aspects of language teaching
and program administration in higher education settings.


Call for Papers: 

We welcome submissions from language program directors, graduate students, and
faculty of all ranks and languages, for 20-minute presentations. Proposals may
be either practice-oriented or research-oriented, as long as they have
practical implications that may be relevant to different language programs in
post-secondary settings.

All proposals must fall under one of the following two strands: 

STRAND 1: LANGUAGE TEACHING AND LEARNING
Topics that fit this strand include but are not limited to the following:
 - Research-based pedagogical approaches
 - Technology integration
 - Experiential learning
 - Assessment of instructional outcomes
 - Diversity and inclusive teaching
 - Intercultural competence
 - Students’ and instructors’ perceptions 

STRAND 2: LANGUAGE PROGRAM DIRECTION
Topics that fit this strand include but are not limited to the following:
 - Training and supervision of teaching assistants
 - Language teaching methods courses
 - Evaluation and training of language program directors
 - Program articulation
 - Curriculum development and revision
 - Mission, vision, and objectives of basic language programs
 - Recruitment and retention
 - Selection and development of instructional materials
 - Course placement practices
 - Language resource centers

Submission Guidelines:
You may only submit one proposal as a lead presenter and be listed as a
co-presenter on one other proposal on a different topic.
All submissions should include: a title (15 words maximum), an abstract (300
words maximum), and a 50-word summary to be included in the program.
All proposals must be in English. 
Only proposals submitted through EasyAbs between February 1 and May 1, 2020,
will be considered.
