The 2010 COFLT Spring Conference
Lane Community College on Saturday, March 6
"Target: Language, Integrating Content and Communication".
<-- BUILDING #19-->


Rather than a traditional conference format, we are making the transition to more hands-on, less-language-specific workshops, workshops which will provide graduate credit (additional fee, through UofO) and more detailed focus on issues. Workshops are two hours in duration focusing on one of three general themes: language teaching theory; language-specific cultural content; and language pedagogy. Presenters were sought out and invited by the COFLT board. For more information, please click |here|.
