SUMMARY:Language Teaching Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:The purpose of the Language Teaching Colloquium is to gain a clearer sense of our shared challenges\, and to come up with effective solutions to them. In our current time of disconnect\, we are atomized and siloed\, and this weekly event will allow participants to gain a wide perspective on what is happening across languages and departments. \nEach week\, an idea\, a tool\, or a challenge related to teaching online will be presented.  In response\, the attendees will be able to give constructive feedback and share their own experiences. During the second\, less formal\, portion of the Colloquium the participants will share what they are encountering in their classrooms as we move through the semester. \nFollowing the Colloquium\, we invite everyone to participate in our weekly virtual social hour\, hosted until 5pm. \n.

SUMMARY:"Post-pandemic language teaching: Our window of opportunity" with Dr. Bryan Smith
DESCRIPTION:“Post-pandemic language teaching: Our window of opportunity” with Dr. Bryan Smith \nAbstract:\nStarting from the assumption that post-pandemic language teaching will not look quite like it did in a pre-COVID world\, I will consider how emergency remote teaching and the subsequent move to online language teaching will likely result in technology-enhanced language learning becoming the norm moving forward. In doing this\, I will share experiences\, predictions\, and fears gathered from L2 classroom teachers\, language learners\, L2 researchers\, language resource center directors\, and industry\, and will explore how we might take advantage of lessons learned during this time in a way that is consistent with and informs instructed second language acquisition. \nBio:\nBryan Smith is Professor of Applied Linguistics in the Department of English at Arizona State University\, where he directs the Graduate Certificate in Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL). He is co-editor of the CALICO Journal and serves on the editorial advisory boards of the Annual Review of Applied Linguistics\, Computer Assisted Language Learning\, the EUROCALL Review\, the Journal of Virtual Exchange\, and Language Learning & Technology. He conducts research at the nexus of CALL and instructed SLA and has focused on topics such as learner interaction\, learner attention to form\, the effects of teacher corrective feedback\, and learner alignment during task-based interaction.  His current work focuses on how the COVID-19 pandemic is likely to affect language teaching and learning moving forward\, task-based learner-learner multi-modal interaction via mobile devices\, and learners’ incidental focus on form. He regularly employs methods and techniques such as eye-tracking that capture learner process data. His published research has appeared in journals such as the Annual Review of Applied Linguistics\, Applied Linguistics\, CALICO Journal\, Computer Assisted Language Learning\, Computers in Human Behavior\, Language Learning & Technology\, Language Teaching\, TESOL Quarterly\, The Modern Language Journal\, Studies in Second Language Acquisition\, and System\, among others.

SUMMARY:"The Harvard Language Exchange: Toward Community-focused Informal Language Learning" with Dr. Andrew Ross and Dr. Mary DiSalvo
DESCRIPTION:The Language Exchange began in the Fall of 2019 as a simple idea: to match members of the Harvard community\, broadly conceived\, who wanted to exchange language practice. Using a Google form and shared spreadsheet\, the Harvard Language Center staff began to grow a modest list of users. When COVID forced Harvard to turn to remote instruction and then online teaching and learning\, we recognized the importance of the Language Exchange as a community-building tool. With the design support and technical expertise of Harvard IT\, they have recently launched a new purpose-built Language Exchange site\, which currently has over 300 users. \nIn this presentation\, the guest speakers will outline the needs case for informal language learning opportunities\, describe the history of the project\, show the site from user and administrator perspectives\, and offer some thoughts on the potential impact of this platform for community-building across a widely varying population of users.
