If you're thinking about submitting a proposal for our ATEG Conference in Seattle (July 17 & 18), please do so--but don't panic because the old deadline is almost here: We are extending the date to May 25. I'd like to take this opportunity, also, to encourage you to attend the conference, which will be held at North Seattle Community College. The program promises to be most interesting, with sessions on classroom practices at various levels, research on teaching methods, computer methods, even grammar teaching outside the classroom, in corporate settings. We are also doing a two-day minicourse in conjunction with the conference (July 15 and 16) that carries 2 graduate credits through Central Washington University. For information about the minicourse or about registration and housing, please be in touch with Michael Kischner ([log in to unmask]). You can submit program proposals to me (3628 Buffalo Run Road, Bellefonte, PA 16823). If you have questions, please feel free to get in touch by e-mail or by phone (814-355-4666). I'll be out of touch, however, from May 10-22. Martha Kolln
