Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics 

Meeting Description: 

This seminar, funded by the UK Higher Education Academy as part of 
its workshop and seminar series, introduces and explores the use of 
social networking sites for language learning, considering the skills 
required to facilitate informal online learning and how the shift from 
language teacher to the role of language adviser might be 
accomplished.

This seminar stems from a research project aiming to promote 
language learning through social networking. The seminar will 
disseminate findings, draw upon the results from training sessions 
provided during this project, and the teachers' reactions to the 
experience.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as 
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These 
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax
return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site,
or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match 
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your 
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the 
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a
simple administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to
LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
