Welcome

Thank you for visiting the home page of the SouthWest Association for Language Learning Technology, a regional group of the International Assocation for Language Learning Technology (IALLT). SWALLT represents the states of (in alphabetical order) Arizona, California, Hawaii, Nevada, and Utah.

Through this site, we hope to keep all past, present and prospective members of IALLT and SWALLT informed and involved and up-to-date on news, events and activities in the field of language learning and technology. Members may get access to write blog posts (displayed on the main page). Officers may get access to edit static pages. Please contact the president to get access.

Please note that our previous SWALLT web site is still online. It contains some information that has not been moved yet. You can find it here.

From the Past President:

SWALLT is a volunteer organization dedicated to assisting those involved with any area of language learning and the use of technology. Many of our members supervise language or computer labs in addition to language teaching duties. Others of us provide technical support or are engaged in the development of technology-based language products. In a field where rapid change is the norm, it is important to have a resource to help with the constant questions technology brings. The members of SWALLT attempt to provide this resource to those who often find themselves being asked to manage and understand a growing number of technological products. We do this through semi-annual meetings, an electronic forum (SWALLT-L), a newsletter, and personal contact. I invite you to join with us and help make a stronger organization by sharing your experience and questions with, what I believe to be, a very friendly and helpful group of colleagues.
