Dear Colleague,
It is my pleasure to welcome you to AATSEEL 2000. Washington has always
been a great venue for us, and we look forward to seeing you there. Thanks
to David Birnbaum and his hard-working Program Committee, this
conference-at which we are pleased, as always, to host ACTR events-promises
to be a splendid event. As always, AATSEEL attendance offers you a superb
opportunity to meet and network with scholars working in your area as well
as with other specialists in Slavic languages, literatures, linguistics,
culture and pedagody. In the Exhibit Hall you'll be able to see the newest
and best from publishers, intensive language programs, media companies,
travel firms and more. Just as importantly, by attending this annual
meeting you'll be renewing your commitment to the health and growth of our
profession. Remember, without your support and active participation,
AATSEEL would cease to exist. Consider the information in this brochure
and make the decision to join us in Washington.
Frank Miller, Columbia University
