44th Annual Convention, Northeast Modern Language Association (NeMLA)
March 21-24, 2013
Boston, Massachusetts
Host Institution: Tufts University

Meta-cognitive strategies have become part of foreign language textbooks in the attempt to increase retention and intensify examination of the subject matter. However, there are few accounts of how students learn to choose them appropriately or, ideally, develop their own learning strategies. This panel invites contributions on the meta-level which focus on how to help students actively select learning strategies best suited for their needs and consciously build their own meta-cognitive knowledge on their way to becoming autonomous learners.

Deadline: September 30, 2012
Please include with your abstract (no more than 250 words):

• Name and Affiliation
• A short CV
• Email address
• Telephone number
• A/V requirements (if any; $10 handling fee with registration)

The 2013 NeMLA convention continues the Association's tradition of sharing innovative scholarship in an engaging and generative location. The 44th annual event will be held in historic Boston, Massachusetts, a city known for its national and maritime history, academic facilities and collections, vibrant art, theatre, and food scenes, and blend of architecture. The Convention, located centrally near Boston Commons and the Theatre District at the Hyatt Regency, will include keynote and guest speakers, literary readings, film screenings, tours and workshops. Interested participants may submit abstracts to more than one NeMLA session; however, panelists can only present one paper (panel or seminar). Convention participants may present a paper at a panel and also present at a creative session or participate in a roundtable. http://www.nemla.org/convention/2013/cfp.html
