Inkshed 20
TEACHING IN CONTEXTS: READING, WRITING, SPEAKING, LEARNING
Annual Conference of the Canadian Association
for the Study of Language and Learning (CASLL)
May 8-11, 2003
Hockley Highlands Inn and Conference Centre
Orangeville, Ontario
Inkshed has been a force in Canadian education for 20 years, and this is
the year to celebrate that history and create an even more interesting
future. Come and join colleagues from across Canada and the US in lively
discussion and lots of informal interaction. The sessions being planned
will more than fulfil our aim to explore the contexts of our work teaching
writing, reading, and speaking. Participants will sometimes listen and
talk, other times role-play or write informal responses; we'll also have
scheduled time to sit and read materials we've brought to share. There are
no concurrent or break-out sessions: we're all in this together! Whether
you're presenting or not, this is an ideal conference to get to know people
in your field and to let us all know what you're doing and thinking about.
For a description of the conference aims, see the call for proposals at
http://www.stthomasu.ca/inkshed/inkshed20/cfp.htm. The draft conference
program will be available soon at
http://www.stthomasu.ca/inkshed/inkshed20.
Hockley Highlands Inn is in the rolling countryside just north of Toronto
-- an area noted for recreational sites and artists' workshops. The Inn
provides lots of space to talk, read, and have fun together. Besides
offering a full range of exercise and swim facilities, it's right on a
branch of the Bruce Trail – a capacious deck overlooks the trail, for those
who'd rather watch than hike. We're planning an offsite Saturday-night
celebration, and those with any talent (or facsimile) are asked to bring
it. Enjoyment is a keynote of Inkshed conferences!
The Inn's website at http://www.hockleyhighlands.com/ includes virtual
tours of the facilities and a map showing its exact location on Mono
Township 3rd Line, north of Highway 9 and about 5 k. east of Orangeville.
If you're driving, we can send further instructions. The Inn is about 45
minutes north of Pearson International Airport. If you're flying in, let us
know your arrival and departure information and we'll make sure you get
back and forth.
Graduate students and the un(der)employed: please note that CASLL will try
to subsidize your conference costs, budget permitting. Save your travel and
