Language and Technology at the Crossroads
June 14-17, 2023
New Orleans, Louisiana
The 2023 conference theme explores the idea of language and technology at the crossroads. How are we, as language educators and center staff, using technology, social media, and multimedia to support the teaching and learning of languages? What do technological affordances mean for language advocacy and sustainability? What is unique about new (and even older) technologies and their creative users in the context of language teaching and learning? What innovations and new practices have interruptions in continuity of instruction (pandemic, storms, etc.) yielded?
Conference activities will take place at The Higgins Hotel and Conference Center in New Orleans.
