The Northeast Association for Language Learning Technology (www.neallt.org) will hold its annual conference online on Saturday, April 6. The NEALLT’ 24 virtual conference will be hosted by the Columbia University Language Resource Center.
This year’s theme is: Writing Innovations in the Language Classroom
Writing has been a perennial challenge in the foreign language classroom, a challenge that has only been accentuated by the emergence of digital tools such as online translators and generative AI. At the same time, new technologies have enabled forms and formats of writing that previously were not possible. NEALLT 2024 will focus on the theme of “Writing Innovation in the Language Classroom,” and will seek papers that address challenges and opportunities as the practice of writing for language learning has evolved.
Keynote Presentation | “Reconceptualizing Writing Instruction in the Age of Generative AI” by Paul Kei Matsuda
Paul Kei Matsuda is Professor of English and Director of Second Language Writing at Arizona State University, where he works closely with doctoral students specializing in second language writing from various disciplinary perspectives. Paul is Founding Chair of the Symposium on Second Language Writing and Series Editor of the Parlor Press Series on Second Language Writing. Former President of the American Association for Applied Linguistics, he has also served as the founding chair of the CCCC Committee on Second Language Writing and the chair of the Nonnative English Speakers in TESOL (NNEST) at TESOL International Association.
