SWALLT 2012 Conference: Language Learning Centers and Internationalization Supporting Global Connections, March 23-24, 2012, Arizona State University
Internationalization and globalization have become nearly ubiquitous goals across education over the last several years. Universities, community colleges and other institutions are emphasizing connections with the broader world, establishing campuses and programs across the globe, and welcoming international partners and students to their institutions and curricula. For the faculty, administrators, and language learning center personnel tasked with implementing these goals, questions abound regarding how best to use technology to support global outreach, study abroad programs, faculty engaged in international collaboration, student exchanges, remote campuses and courses, and distance learning.
Join us at Arizona State University’s School of International Letters & Cultures for SWALLT 2012, a regional IALLT conference open to language technologists, faculty members and administrators at the university and community college levels, K-12 teachers and administrators, the international education community and graduate students.

Conference locations and directions
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, and workshops, as well as plenty of opportunities for casual conversations.
If you have questions about the conference, please contact us. We hope to see you in Portland!
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 until the conference.
Accommodations
We have reserved a block of rooms at the Aloft Portland Airport Hotel, conveniently located near the airport and on the light rail line for easy access to Reed.
