<p style="text-align: justify;"><span
style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: Garamond;">The College
of Education (Teacher Education
Department) at the University of Oregon is currently
seeking proposals for papers, discussion sessions, workshops, and
symposia on all
aspects that affect the educational and social experiences of English
Learners
(EL) and their communities. While the theme of the UO conference
explores EL
students and immigrant communities in <i>new destinations</i>, this
conference
seeks to explore a broad array of issues which affect the social,
economic,
political, and educational opportunities of these communities in
multiple
settings.</span></p>
<p><b><span
style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: Garamond; font-variant: small-caps;">Submission
Opportunities</span></b></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span
style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: Garamond;">In addition to
original scholarly
research and evaluation papers, the conference organizers welcome a
broad range
of practitioner perspectives including university students, classroom
teachers,
pre-service teachers, school and district administrators, district
curriculum
coordinators, community organizers, parents, and community specialists
who work
with EL students and communities. Conference workshops, scholarly
papers,
presentations, discussion sessions, and symposia may report on
data-driven
research projects, theoretical and conceptual frameworks and analyses,
policy
papers, or best practices.</span></p>
<p><i><span
style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: Garamond; font-variant: small-caps;">Submission
Types</span></i></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span
style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: Garamond;">All break-out sessions
will be 1 hour and 45 minutes long
(of which at least 30 min should be dedicated to audience discussion
and
interaction) and will consist of one of the following:</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span
style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: Garamond;">Symposia: In these
sessions, a group of individuals (a
panel) will address a specific issue or topic and examine it from a
variety of
perspectives. This is a group proposal of generally 3 to 4 presenters
and the
proposal is blind peer-reviewed.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span
style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: Garamond;">Individual Paper
Session: In these sessions, a presenter
will present findings from original research or work (theoretical,
conceptual,
policy analysis, etc.). Individual paper session presenters will be
paired with
a presenter with a similar topic (unless otherwise requested) for the
session.
These proposals will also be blind peer-reviewed.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span
style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: Garamond;">Demonstration Session:
These sessions will provide an
opportunity for classroom teachers, school administrators, district
program
coordinators, and professional development presenters to share
exemplary and
engaging practices that have been successful with EL students and
communities.
These presentations typically will include "handouts" or other "take
home"
materials for participants. These proposals will not be blind
peer-reviewed but
rather reviewed by a conference planning committee. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span
style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: Garamond;">Group Interaction:
These are sessions that will address a
topic (or topics) which will benefit from extended and continual
dialogue among
participants. These sessions will typically start with a short informal
presentation to establish the context and the background of the
topic(s) while
the remainder of the time will be devoted to discussion moderated by
the session
presenter/facilitator. These proposals will not be blind peer-reviewed
but
rather reviewed by a conference planning committee.</span></p>
<p><b><span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: Garamond;">Submission
Guidelines</span></b></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span
style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: Garamond;">All submissions must
be
submitted using the online submission form found on the conference
website: <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://biliteracy09.uoregon.edu" target="_blank">http://biliteracy09.uoregon.edu</a>.<span></span>
Submissions for blind peer-review will need to
include an additional paper proposal (limited to 1500 words) which
addresses
the following areas: Objective, theoretical framework, methodology (if
applicable), findings, and scholarly and/or educational significance.
Authors
name and/or affiliation should not appear on the additional paper
proposal to
assure a blind review.<span> </span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span
style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: Garamond;">Proposal Review</span></b></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span
style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: Garamond;">Proposals which will
be blind
peer-reviewed will be submitted to a team of reviewers which will
evaluate each
submission based on predetermined evaluation criteria, including but
not
limited to: scholarly/educational significance, theoretical orientation
(if
applicable), quality of research/practice, coherent and relevant
findings,
originality of work, and manner of presentation. </span></p>
