Thanks to all our participants for a great SWALLT 2012 - Language Learning Centers and Internationalization: Supporting Global Connections! Please see http://www.swallt.org for more information about upcoming webinars and the conference venue for next year!

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.

The organizers welcome proposals for presentations within the following topic areas as they relate to the globalization and internationalization of institutions and curricula:

    Presentation of original research - action research, CALL, SLA with a technology emphasis, ESL/EFL, etc. (30 min.)
    Presentation of technologies, processes, and approaches to international collaboration and outreach. (30 min.)
    Presentation of language learning center management, outreach, programs, etc. (30 min.)
