What is COFLT?
The Confederation in Oregon for Language Teaching (COFLT),
Oregon's statewide association of second language professionals
for all languages at all levels, immersion and non-immersion,
works with educators statewide to improve language learning
and teaching. (For more information, please click here.)
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,
