Emerging Technologies in Teaching Languages and Culture 

California State University Monterey Bay announces the 9th Annual

technology in the language classroom.

The conference provides a unique forum of scheduled presentations, panel 
discussions, hands-on workshops and technology exhibitions where language 
teachers, technologists, administrators and vendors can share useful and 
cutting-edge information and learn from one another.
