Meeting Description:
The Executive Committee on Language Change will
be holding a workshop on approaches to the
teaching of language change at the upcoming
Modern Language Association (MLA) conference in
Vancouver. We plan to explore practical
strategies for integrating studies of language
change across the curriculum, as well as
empirical studies of best practices.
Call for Papers:
Teaching Language Change across the Curriculum:
A Roundtable
The Executive Committee on Language Change at
the Modern Language Association (MLA) is
accepting papers for a roundtable session to be
held at the annual conference in January 2015
in Vancouver. We seek papers exploring the most
effective ways to address the concept of
language change when teaching specific topics
in literature, composition, rhetoric,
linguistics, or language courses. Papers may
focus on best practices in course design and
lesson planning; on addressing the needs of
particular student demographics, university
curricula, and state and federal standards; or
on applications of specific pedagogical
theories. Empirically-based reflection on
teaching practice is appreciated but not
required.
