National Council of Less Commonly Taught Languages (NCOLCTL) Conference

LCTLs and Globalization: Challenges, Expectations, and Possibilities

Overview

Proposals are solicited for individual papers, colloquia, and poster sessions. Proposals should fall broadly within the conference theme, "LCTLs and Globalization: Challenges, Expectations, and Possibilities." Although proposed presentations may focus on individual languages, they should address issues that clearly relate to more than just that one language. Presentations may address the linkage between language study and globalization, curriculum and material development, methodology, bilingual education, heritage language learners, autonomous and self-instructional settings, outreach and advocacy, and the use of technology in teaching languages. Other topics such as teacher training, professionalization, research, and assessment are also welcome.
