Please include NSE in the subject line of your e-mails to me.  My computer is set up to flag these.

Registration for the 2009 exam is now open. You can go to the national site (link below) and sign up your students any time between now and January 31.

There are no changes in the registration procedure, test administration, test content, or cost ($4.00 per exam, including Kentucky's charge). The national site has announced a new tuition scholarship for a two week summer immersion program at Concordia Language Villages that you may want to check out for your students. I will be attending KWLA on Saturday, so bring your questions, and I'll try to answer!

You will find anything I send out to the chapter posted on this page, but I will be happy to answer any questions or find out the information if I don't know. If you are not yet a member of AATSP, but want to receive my general e-mailing to the chapter in the fall, then please send me an e-mail so I can add you to my list.
