let.rug.nl>Call for conference proposals Teaching Academic Writing across Europe First Conference of EATAW: The European Association for the Teaching of Academic Writing 17-20 June 2001, Groningen, the Netherlands Writing program administrators, writing centre staff, teachers, researchers and students with an interest in the teaching of academic writing are welcome to participate in this first EATAW conference. The conference derives from some inspiring, successful and pleasantly informal conferences that were first organized in Germany for members of an emerging German network (Erfurt, 1997, Bochum, 1999). This network of teachers and consultants in academic writing is now to be expanded on a European level, through the establishment of EATAW and the organization of the first EATAW conference. The aim of EATAW, and of the conference, is to create a forum for European colleagues and to support a European development in the teaching of academic writing. The conference provides means for: - connecting with people and institutions from all European Countries and creating a network - exchanging experiences from our work and 'best practice' examples from teaching and tutoring methods and strategies, as well as their theoretical and organizational frameworks (for example concerning writing and teaching writing in different writing cultures) - providing a venue for both teachers and researchers and bringing participants up-to-date with the state of development of the field The conference also contains the formal establishment of EATAW. Conference themes: - 'best practice'- examples (rationale, practice and material) of: - teach-the-teachers initiatives - writing tutoring and counselling practice - general writing courses and subject-specific ones - on-line teaching of writing and teaching writing with computers - approaches to the teaching of (individual and co-operative) writing and pedagogical strategies - academic genres and subgenres, writing conventions, academic language, writing cultures and intercultural aspects of (the teaching of) academic writing - writing and designing instructional material for the teaching of academic writing - program establishment (models, politics, strategies, faculty development) - researchers and therapists views on (for example): - cognitive styles of writers and teaching/individual tutoring - hypotheses on procrastination and blocking in academic writers The program will include some keynote speakers as well as interactive sessions to encourage participation and the exchange of ideas. The organizing committee welcomes (proposals for) panel discussions and round table sessions with (both): - researchers and teachers discussing the relation between theories/empirical findings and the practice of the teaching of writing, or - educational politicians, funding organizations and practitioners discussing the financial, political and strategic possibilities for the establishment of writing centres and writing programs in Europe. Types of sessions: - Workshops (90 minutes) - Presentations (20 minutes + 10 minutes discussion) - Panel discussions and roundtable sessions (60 minutes) Guidelines for proposals: Proposals are invited from writing program and writing centre staff, teachers, scholars, writing tutors and counsellors, researchers, teacher educators and curriculum specialists. Those wishing to propose a session at the conference are requested to submit a one-page proposal to the organising committee, stating: 1. who they are 2. their subject, approach, rationale and practice (with a focus on the practice of their work, and with theoretical underpinnings where possible) 3. the possible practical applicability of their contribution to the teaching and tutoring of academic writing (contributions that put up open questions and discussions are preferred above merely presentations of practice) 4. the form of the contribution: workshop, presentation, panel discussion or roundtable session Deadline for sending in proposals (in English and by e-mail): October 30, 2000 Confirmation + provisional program will be issued in January 2001 Conference language: English Location and lodgings: The conference is to be held at the Faculty of Arts at the heart of the old centre of Groningen, where a variety of hotels will be available within walking distance.
