CALL FOR PAPERS:
Cortland New York Conference on Language and Literature
Cortland, New York
October 28-30, 2001
SESSION NAME: Enhancing Rhetoric Instruction: Using Technology to Support
Argumentation and Discourse
Technology and an understanding of technological theory is
becoming increasingly significant and useful in teaching Rhetoric.
Reconceptualising and identifying computer-based technologies as
educational tools also raises pedagogical concerns such as: How should
we close the gap between theory and practice, gaining insight?
This session seeks to explore the subject of integrating technology into
Rhetoric instruction in order to continue teaching students useful and
essential strategies which will keep them engaged in argumentation, and
in this technological world.
How do teachers balance technological issues with pedagogical concerns?
What are teachers doing in their Rhetoric classrooms to bring their
students into this new technological world? In the twenty-first century,
what do teachers still need to do to improve students writing and verbal
skills as they continue to assess them? Overall what are the advantages
and/or the effects technology brings to literacy, especially in the
Rhetoric classroom?
This session welcomes papers exploring these parameters, or any
pedagogical practices which use computer technologies innovatively.
The end result of this challenge for instructors is students who
possess both critical thinking skills and technological literacy
which is reflected thus in their writing and oral arguments.
Complete papers (limited to 20 minute presentations), or 1-2 page
abstracts, which include the author's home mailing address, home
phone number, and email address must be submitted by 7/15/01.

Arms North 2--Bldg. #9, Cranbury, N.J. 08512. Any questions please
