    Meeting Description:

    National Council of Organizations of Less Commonly Taught Languages Seventh National Conference Madison, Wisconsin April 30 - May 2, 2004

    Identifying Individual and National Needs in the Less Commonly Taught Languages.

    The Seventh National Conference of the National Council of Organizations of Less Commonly Taught Languages (NCOLCTL) is scheduled for April 30- May 2, at the University of Wisconsin- Madison.

    Proposals are solicited for individual papers, colloquia and poster sessions. The formats are described below. Proposals should fall broadly within the Conference theme of ''Identifying Individual and National Needs in the Less Commonly Taught Languages.'' Although proposed presentations may focus on individual languages, each should address issues that clearly relate to more than just that one language. The focus of session topics might include:

    · Bilingual education students; · Autonomous and self-instructional setting students; · Distance education students; · Individualized instruction students · Heritage learners · Addressing individual learners' needs · Analyzing individual learners' needs · Use of technology in teaching the LCTLs · Addressing national priority in language programs · Other topics related to the theme Proposals on other topics will also be considered.

    Individual papers are 20 minutes long. A paper should focus clearly on one or more issues related to the theme. Papers may be based on research or practical experience.

    Colloquia are 90 minutes. A colloquium proposal should specify three or more presenters who will address one of the conference themes. Preference will be given to panels that cut across different languages or language groups.

    Poster and presentation sessions may focus on completed work or work in progress related to the teaching and/or learning of less commonly taught languages. They may be of either the traditional poster format, such as presentation of materials or of results of research in progress, or demonstrations of instructional or information technology. However, any proposal requiring technical support must specify in detail the type of hardware and software needed.

    Proposals should indicate the title and kind of presentation (paper, colloquium or poster session) in the upper left-hand corner, and the name of the presenter and the presenter's primary language(s) in the upper right-hand corner. The proposed title should not exceed ten words. Next should be a 50-75 word abstract suitable for inclusion in the conference program. The proposal text should be 150-200 words long and may not exceed one page in length.

    For inquiries, contact: Sookyung Cho, NCOLCTL 4231 Humanities Building 455 N. Park Street Madison, WI 53706 Tel: 608-265-7903. Fax: 608-265-7904

    The final deadline for receipt of proposals is December 15, 2003. Applicants will be notified by email within one week of the receipt of their submissions. They will be notified by the Program Committee by January 15, 2004 whether their proposal has been accepted.
