***********************************************************

TUTORIALS (for Connor-Linton and Spielmann tutorials,

maximum of 20 participants; no participant limit for Krashen

workshop):



MONDAY, MARCH 6

"Criterion-referenced curriculum and test development for

language teachers and administrators"

Presenter: Dr. Jeff Connor-Linton, G.U. Dept of Linguistics,

(202) 687-6156

  Criterion-referenced measurement will first be explained and

exemplified, especially in contrast to norm-referenced

measurement. Next, the process of criterion-referenced language

test development (CRLTD) and its benefits for language testing

(increasing positive backwash and content validity) will be

described. A hands-on workshop on criterion-referenced test

specification will follow, which models the process teachers and

administrators may use in their own classrooms and programs.

Finally, ways in which criterion-referenced test specification

process can be used to improve language curriculum coherence

and articulation will be discussed.



TUESDAY, MARCH 7

"Language acquisition and language education: A review of

research and theory and current issues"

Presenter: Dr. Steve Krashen, School of Education, University

of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA 90089-0031



  This workshop will cover, and attempt to integrate, material

presented at my GURT presentations since 1989. It will review

evidence for and against the input hypothesis, the Reading

Hypothesis, applications of the input hypothesis to beginning

and intermediate language and literacy development, the role of

light reading, and applications to bilingual education.



WEDNESDAY, MARCH 8

Authentic documents in the language class: Theoretical

perspectives and didactic applications

Presenter: Dr. Guy Spielmann, G.U. Department of French,

(202) 687-5717



  This workshop proposes to examine in detail the theoretical

premises (based on elements from pragmatics, philosophy of

language, and semiotics) which justify an extensive use of

documents in elementary and intermediate language courses.

It will also provide very concrete and actual examples of how

this can be done to achieve optimal didactic impact.

  There is an apparent consensus today on the usefulness and

value of authentic documents in teaching foreign languages.

Such accord, however, only emphasizes the lack of theoretical

grounding on the meaning and the role that documents

should play from the very beginning of instruction.

  If we question why documents are so parsimoniously used in

beginners' classes, and then mostly for illustrative purposes, we

begin to expose some of the most glaring philosophical

problems of language education today. Our point of

departure will be to review the reasons (explicit or not) for

which documents are so sparsely exploited, and trace their

origin to both ideology a set of a priori beliefs about the nature

of language an d a sense of practicality a set of beliefs

about what can be done in class.

  I will then briefly introduce some basic concepts of

Multidisciplinary Integrated Language Education (MILE), in

order to provide new directions in thinking about the value of

documents as primary evidence in the language complex

(including Code, Content, Context, and Culture).

  Through a few very specific examples of activities, I will

indicate how the theoretical premises of MILE can translate into

an interdisciplinary, document-based language class even at the

full beginners' level. I will then conduct a brainstorming

session with participants in order to elicit further examples of

activities reflecting the same fundamental principles.

  Finally, I will discuss some theoretical and practical

considerations on the collection and selection of documents, as

well as the limitations to their use.
