We are pleased to announce the
SWALLT/NWALLT 2010 Conference: Sustainable Language Learning Technology
Friday and Saturday, October 15–16, 2010
Reed College, Portland, Oregon
How can we use the ever-changing array of technological tools and services to facilitate lasting, meaningful language learning? How do we decide which emerging technologies are worth the investment of time and energy? How can we work together to make the most of our limited resources? Join us in the beautiful Pacific Northwest to talk about these and other current issues in language teaching and learning with technology. This conference will be of interest to anyone involved in language teaching or language center management, either at the K-12 level or in higher education. The program will include presentations, panel discussions, workshops, and a poster session, as well as plenty of opportunities for casual conversations.
We welcome proposals for individual or joint presentations, panels, workshops, and posters that showcase technology-enhanced language learning and teaching. NWALLT or SWALLT membership is not required to submit a proposal or to attend the conference; everyone is welcome! Proposals should be submitted by Wednesday, June 30, 2010 for full consideration.
To submit a proposal, please use our online form. If you have questions about the conference, don’t hesitate to contact us. We hope to see you in Portland this fall!
About the conference site
The conference will be held at Reed College, a small, private liberal arts college in Southeast Portland, Oregon. As one of the country’s most environmentally conscious cities, Portland is an ideal location for a conference focused on sustainable practices in language learning and teaching with technology. Reed’s campus and its surroundings offer many possibilities for exploring the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest.
Reed is approximately fifteen miles southwest of Portland International Airport (PDX) and is easy to get to by car or by using public transportation. The map below includes some local landmarks; we’ll continue to update it throughout the summer.
More information about Portland and Reed, as well as hotel and registration information, will be posted soon—watch this space!
