Due to a large amount of proposals received that will need more time to review and make the final selection. We will need to postpone the notification to the potential speakers of the review results on Feb 20.

The Foreign Language Program Office of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), the National Cryptologic School (NCS), and the U.S. Military Academy at West Point (USMA) are pleased to announce that the Fifth Language Education and Resources Network (LEARN) Symposium for instructors of Chinese will be held at West Point on July 24 - 27, 2012. These workshops provide language professionals with a venue where they can interact with other language professionals in Government, academia and industry. It also gives them an opportunity to discuss/explore issues related to the science and technology of foreign language education. The LEARN Chinese Working Group has successfully held four symposia at the Foreign Service Institute (FSI) and Defense Language Institute (DLI) which provided great venues for exchanging methodologies and experiences in Chinese language teaching, as well as networking with colleagues among Federal Government organizations and institutes. The Fifth LEARN Symposium will be held at the USMA, and is open to all instructors of Chinese from any U.S. Government-affiliated institution in 2009.
