In case you've missed it in the ATEG newsletter or previous listserv notices, please think about submitting papers or presentation proposals for this year's annual conference in Seattle. Please also (a) tell your friends and (b) send me the names and addresses of any individuals or institutions you think should know about it. The conferences are wonderful informal, informative, productive affairs for people from K-12 through graduate school who are interested in grammar and language. Seattle in July can be beautiful, and we (Edith Wollin and I, co-local chairs, and the people of Seattle) will strive to continue the tradition of warm hospitality that Edith and I have enjoyed at the two past conferences. A two-day pre-conference mini-course is in the process of being put together. It will be on grammar in the writing class. Day 1 will focus on what grammar to teach in the writing class; Day 2 will focus on how to teach it. The faculty is stellar: Martha Kolln, Rei Noguchi, and Loretta Gray. Credit will be available through Central Washington University. Conference registration will be $85 for pre-registration, $95 at the conference. Fees for the mini-course -- not yet finally set -- will probably be $30 for pre-registration and $40 at the conference. Credit from Central Washington will entail an additional cost. Accommodations will be at the Ramada Inn, Northgate. This is walking distance to North Seattle Community College, where the meetings will be, and about twelve minutes from downtown Seattle by hotel shuttle. Rooms will be $85, single or double, and we will try to pair people up with roommates if they want them. (Yes, the conference will no doubt get into pronoun reference. Last year or the year before, Brock Haussamen was brilliant on the subject.) Proposals are invited for papers, workshops, or panels on any topic connected to the teaching of grammar from K-12 through graduate school. They should be sent directly to Martha Kolln, 3628 Buffalo Run Road, Bellefonte, PA 16823. Tel. (814) 355-4666.
