I would like to encourage you to submit a proposal for the session entitled "Practical Approaches to Teaching Film", which I will be chairing this year at the 60th Annual Rocky Mountain Modern Language Association convention. This session dedicated to using film in the classroom has met with great enthusiasm in the past and led to a fruitful exchange of ideas among teachers from a wide range of institutions.
