Dear Colleagues,

 

On behalf of my CNDLS colleagues Peter Janssens and Gorky Cruz as well as my colleague Kristy Britt from the University of South Alabama, I would like to invite you to participate in a language learning technology conference we will be hosting right here on campus! The conference's theme is Our Changing Environments: Cultivating New Spaces, Tools, and Ideas in Language Learning.

 

This is a Georgetown-hosted Joint Conference of the Mid-Atlantic Association for Language Learning Technology (MAALLT) and the Southeast Association for Language Learning Technology (SEALLT).

 

March 10-13, 2010

 

Pre-conference Workshops: March 10, 2010

Presentation Sessions: March 11 - 13

 

As some of you know, MAALLT and SEALLT are professional organizations dedicated to sharing pedagogical research and practical applications of technology in foreign language learning and teaching.

 

Our keynote speaker will be Randy Bass, Executive Director of the Center for New Designs in Learning and Scholarship and Assistant Provost for Teaching and Learning Initiatives at Georgetown University.

 

The conference is going to be on the same weekend as the 2010 GURT conference. Although both conferences are planned separately and do not share speakers or presenters, we expect that the co-location will allow for some synergy between the two events. 

 

Today we are announcing the Call for Proposals for the 2010 MAALLT-SEALLT Conference. We invite presentation, poster, and panel proposals that would be of interest to faculty, administrators, lab directors, instructional technologists, researchers, vendors of hardware and software, and others interested in the use of technology in foreign/second language learning and teaching, both at the K-12 and higher education levels.

 

Topics might include:

 

- emerging technologies

- language center design and management

- virtual learning environments and simulation

- web 2.0 tools

- mobile learning

- open source software for language instruction

- one-to-one laptop programs

- interactive Whiteboards

- student response systems

- computer-mediated communication

- innovations in language teaching practices/classroom space design

- assessment and research on language learning technologies, 

including case studies, action research and qualitative/quantitative 

analyses 

 

Presentation types include 20, 30 and 45-minute sessions, one-hour panels and poster sessions.
