The AATSEEL National Meeting is a forum for scholarly exchange of ideas in
all areas of Slavic and East/Central European languages, literatures,
linguistics, cultures, and pedagogy. The Program Committee invites scholars
in these and related areas to form panels around specific topics, organize
roundtable discussions, propose forums on instructional materials, and/or
submit abstracts of conference presentations for the 2004 Conference to be
held in Philadelphia. The conference regularly includes panels in the
following areas:

Linguistics
Phonology, Morphology, Syntax, Historical Linguistics, Discourse Analysis,
Pragmatics, Sociolinguistics, Cognitive Linguistics, Applied Linguistics,
and Linguistics and Pedagogy.

Pedagogy
Second Language Acquisition, Empirical Studies in Language Learning, Study
Abroad, Teaching of Individual Skills (pronunciation, reading, listening,
writing, speaking), Content-based instruction in all areas (film, history,
politics, culture, literature), Curriculum design, Language teaching for
special purposes; Teaching of Languages other than Russian (Polish, Czech,
Croatian, Romanian, etc.), Use of Technology in Language Teaching.
Individual Writers and Poets (such as, Pushkin, Gogol, Dostoevskij, Tolstoj,
Axmatova, Bulgakov, Nabokov and others), Themes (for example, History and
Literature, Travelogues; Gendered Readings), Critical approaches (including
various theoretical approaches), Genre (for example, avtorskaja pesnja, ode,
drama), Periods (Medieval to Contemporary), Culture, Film, Dance, Music,
Philosophy and Religion. In addition to these broad themes, the following
specialized panels have been proposed:



The Program Committee welcomes suggestions for other panels, roundtables, or
forums on instructional materials. Panel organizers should contact one of
the committee members below to declare a panel, and the program committee
encourages panel organizers to take an active part in recruiting
participants to submit abstracts for their specific panels. Declared panels
will be listed on this website as they are received. We will continue to
accept panel proposals until 1 August.

Submission of Abstracts

The Program Committee invites panel organizers to shape their own complete
panels and to submit abstracts from all authors in the panel as a group. In
that case, the Program Committee will submit abstracts intended for one
panel together for double-blind peer review; each abstract will be reviewed
both on its own merits and within the context of the intended panel. If
authors for such a panel submit their abstracts separately, they need only
indicate the name of the panel when they submit the abstract. The Program
Committee will consult with panel organizers about the composition of panels
and will not break up panels shaped by organizers.

Abstract authors should note that submission of an abstract to a panel
organizer or panel chair does not constitute submission to the conference.
Authors should verify that the panel organizer/chair intends to submit
abstracts as a group to the Program Committee. Panel chairs are not
permitted to read a paper on their own panel.
Scholars are welcomed to submit abstracts for a specific panel (or panels)
or to the conference as a whole. The Program Committee will find a panel for
every abstract accepted.

Abstract deadlines are 15 April and 1 August. The first deadline allows for
revision and resubmission of abstracts, should reviewers deem that
necessary. The second deadline does not allow for resubmission. Abstracts
should be kept to 300 words (including select bibliographic citations in the
accepted MLA format). Detailed guidelines for abstracts and published
program abstracts from past years are available on the AATSEEL website.

The Program Committee notes that all conference participants must be AATSEEL
members in good standing for 2004 or request a membership waiver. Membership
renewal can be done by regular mail or on-line on the AATSEEL website.
Authors must be members in good standing or have a waiver in order to
receive the results of abstract review.
