MARCH 8-14, 2021, PHILADELPHIA, CALL FOR PAPERS: TEACHING THE LANGUAGES OF CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPE: BEST PRACTICES AMERICAN HUNGARIAN EDUCATORS ASSOCIATION.: Teaching the Languages of Central and Eastern Europe: Best Practices. Update: NeMLA has confirmed that virtual participation will be available for this conference, so feel free to apply even if in-person may not be an option for you!
This roundtable seeks input from instructors of less-commonly-taught languages of the former Eastern Bloc in an effort to share experiences and best practices across languages. Our goal is to bring together higher education instructors of foreign languages in the US (and possibly beyond) to facilitate collaboration and exchange successfully implemented ideas in pedagogy as well as the organization of academic language programs. While these languages are taught at various universities of North America, professional opportunities to compare and exchange such ideas and experiences are limited. We hope to establish a conversation across languages and institutions that can prove useful in the future implementation of best practices to attract and educate learners in these typically small language programs.
Abstracts focusing on any less commonly taught language that is spoken in the countries of the former Eastern Bloc will be considered, including but not limited to: Albanian, Bosnian / Croatian / Montenegrin / Serbian, Bulgarian, Czech, Estonian, Hungarian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Polish, Romanian, Slovak, 30, 2020 here: https://www.cfplist.com/nemla/Home/S/18661
NeMLA membership is NOT required to submit an abstract. With any questions about abstracts, please contact Dr. Viktoria Batista, vib21@pitt.edu or Dr. Ljiljana Duraskovic, ljiljana@pitt.edu. Please feel free to forward this information to anyone you know who may be interested in participating.
