wELCOmE TO ACTFL 2012 <strong>American</strong> <strong>Council</strong> on the Teaching of Foreign Languages Headquarters 1001 North Fairfax Street, Suite 200, Alexandria, VA 22314 ph 703-894-2900 fax 703-894-2905 Department of Professional Programs 3 Barker Avenue, Suite 300, White Plains, NY 10601 ph 914-963-8830 fax 914-963-1275 Dear Colleagues, On behalf of the ACTFL Board of Directors, we are delighted to welcome you to Philadelphia and to the 46th Annual Convention and World Languages Expo. Our theme this year is “Many Languages: One United Voice.” While we represent many cultures, a plethora of world languages, and a variety of pedagogical beliefs, it is extremely important for the survival of our discipline that we all convey a strong message for the importance of language study. The next three days will provide you with rich opportunities to grow professionally, network with colleagues, and express the spirit of the One United Voice theme. The Program Committee has selected more than 600 professional development opportunities, including pre- and post-convention workshops and sessions focused on all aspects of teaching and learning languages and cultures. Additionally, there are two plenary sessions, a number of Special Interest Group (SIG) meetings, and outstanding programming from our co-sponsoring organizations. The Committee has endeavored to craft a conference schedule that meets the diverse needs of language professionals and supports ACTFL’s mission to “provide vision, leadership, and support for quality teaching and learning of languages.” Your convention program serves as a guide to a number of important features that should be a part of every attendee’s ACTFL experience: • The Opening General Session on Friday morning, featuring Dr. K. David Harrison, a linguist, author, and activist for the documentation and preservation of endangered languages, teaching at Swarthmore College and affiliated with the National Geographic Society. The topic of his keynote address is “Endangered Languages: Global and Local Trends.” Dr. Harrison will also have a book signing and additional presentation of his role in the Emmy-nominated 2008 documentary film The Linguists. • At the Opening General Session we will also present the 2013 ACTFL National Language Teacher of the Year Award. • Plenary Sessions, scheduled for Friday at 3:45 p.m. and Saturday at 8:00 a.m. • The ACTFL Awards Ceremony Friday evening from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Please join us for this special event. • The World Languages Expo, a vital part of your convention. Our exhibitors offer the latest information on thousands of products and services relevant to language education, and they welcome your interest and involvement. These companies are an important part of your convention experience and are valued supporters of ACTFL—so be sure to visit the Exhibit Hall! • ACTFL Central, your one-stop service center to ask questions, get information about the benefits of ACTFL membership, take advantage of career development resources, and purchase ACTFL books and other products. Stop by and try out ACTFL’s new website! We extend our gratitude to the volunteers of the Pennsylvania State Modern Language Association (PSMLA), our co-sponsoring organizations, and ACTFL staff for their incredible dedication to the success of this convention. We also thank you, the attendees, for your membership in ACTFL and for your support of this convention. We hope this professional development opportunity exceeds your expectations and that you join us next year in Orlando! Sincerely, Dave McAlpine Bridget Yaden President Program Chair Dear Colleagues, The Pennsylvania State Modern Language Association is honored to welcome you and all participants to the ACTFL 46th Annual Convention and World Languages Expo in Philadelphia. PSMLA’s mission is to enhance foreign language education throughout the state by promoting the study of foreign languages, providing educators opportunities for professional growth and networking, recognizing excellence in the field, and collaborating with local, state and national organizations. We are so excited to be the state host and one of many professional organizations that are co-sponsoring this wonderful event. This year’s theme: “Many Languages: One United Voice” will be reflected in a variety of workshops, sessions, exhibits and other convention activities. The City of Philadelphia, “the birthplace of <strong>American</strong> democracy,” also shares in this theme. We are a city of multiple cultures and histories. From our colorful neighborhoods to our suburban communities, cultural and historical treasures abound. We offer ideal opportunities for discovery, exploration, enrichment, and enjoyment. The newly expanded Pennsylvania Convention Center offers the perfect venue to take advantage of these opportunities with historical, cultural, and international museums, stores, restaurants, and cafés close by. Be prepared to be motivated and encouraged with multiple ideas and strategies that will enhance your instructional and professional practices. Be prepared to discuss and share the concerns that face all 21st century educators. Be prepared for collaboration, growth and excellence. Enjoy the convention! Enjoy Philadelphia! Respectfully, Thomasina I. White President, PSMLA ACTFL 2012 Program Guide | 7
