2009 IATE Conference
English in Action: 2009 Conference
Illinois Association of Teachers of English
October 16 and 17, 2009, Clock Tower Inn, Rockford, Illinois
Now more than ever, students are entering classrooms having been inundated with information about the world in which they reside, but too often they have not had the opportunity to examine this information and their world in a thoughtful and critical manner, thus leaving important questions unanswered. However, the 21st Century English classroom offers English educators and students a unique opportunity to tackle the big questions, which can range from conversations surrounding multiculturalism and poverty to globalization and gender issues. Literature and composition can create an inroad for these conversations to take place, thus opening up the English classroom as a space for social activism and critical engagement. How can we utilize the space of the English classroom to tackle the big questions? How can we push students to become actively involved in their communities? In the world? The IATE 2009 State Convention invites program proposals that address any and all issues related to the teaching of English/Language Arts, but special consideration will be given to proposals addressing the ways in which classroom teachers utilize literature and composition to encourage students to become active participants as part of their local or global community.
