Hi everyone,

I thought some of you might want to know about the conference call 
shown below. They are looking for papers from graduate students...This 
is a smaller conference than the national TESOL, but it has some great 
presenters and organizers.

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce that the 4th Symposium on Second Language 
Writing
and Graduate Student Conference on Second Language Writing will take 
place
from September 30 to October 2, 2004 at Purdue University, West 
Lafayette,
Indiana, USA.

Plenary speakers will include:

         Danling Fu, University of Florida
         Ilona Leki, University of Tennessee
         Sara Cushing Weigle, Georgia State University
         Jessica Williams, University of Illinois at Chicago

The theme for this year's Symposium is "Second Language Writing 
Instruction
in Context(s): The Effects of Institutional Policies and Politics." 
While
the majority of work done in second language writing addresses 
instruction,
the focus of much of this scholarship is on what happens in the 
classroom as
opposed to how the institutional contexts outside the classroom shape
instructional practices. To help remedy this imbalance, this symposium 
will
focus on institutional polices and politics and how they influence 
classroom
practice. We refer here to policies on assessment, placement, credit, 
class
size, course content, instructional practices, teacher preparation, 
and
teacher support and to politics in terms of the relationships and
interaction between second language writing professionals and their
colleagues at the program, department, school, college, and university
levels and beyond.

Presenters will explore how instructional policies and politics affect
instructional practices. The Symposium will also provide many
opportunities--both formal and informal--to interact with presenters 
as well
as other second language writing specialists.
