SUMMARY:Yale CLS Brown Bag Series | "The Future of Language Study is Open" with Carl Blyth
DESCRIPTION:Abstract \nCompared with STEM fields\, second language (L2) education has only recently begun to embrace open education and the new knowledge ecologies it produces. L2 educators may have been hesitant to participate in the open education movement due to a lack of research which investigates the benefits and challenges of L2 learning and teaching in open environments. This talk contextualizes open education in L2 learning and teaching in terms of a dynamic ecology\, along with a discussion of how the open movement affects L2 education beyond the classroom context. Also discussed will be the new ways of creating\, adapting and curating OER for language learning. The talk ends by describing openness as a key design feature of future scholarly endeavor.\n*Please see the reading material attached to the event. \nSpeaker’s Bio \nCarl S. Blyth is Associate Professor of French Linguistics\, and Director of the Center for Open Educational Resources and Language Learning at the University of Texas at Austin\, USA. His research interests include discourse analysis\, intercultural pragmatics and language learning technology. \nRequired Registration \nhttps://cglink.me/2dA/r2192333

SUMMARY:Invited Guest Speaker Presentation | Breathing Through Both Nostrils: Introducing Yiddish in the German Classroom
DESCRIPTION:In an effort to bring Yiddish and German closer\, graduate students at Columbia University organized two workshops to foster collaboration between the languages and to conduct a sample lesson. This session will highlight the first programmatic steps taken to 1) overcome the isolation of Yiddish within the Germanic department; 2) explore how Yiddish could be integrated into the Germanic language classroom\, and vice versa; 3) create resources and strategies for co-teaching languages that hold close cultural and linguistic ties; 4) evaluate future implications of this interlinguistic collaboration and reimagine the future language classroom. The steps will provide the springboard for discussion and generating further ideas. Participants will receive materials to adapt for their own use.

SUMMARY:Consortium for Language Teaching and Learning (CLTL) | Spring 2023 Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Yale University will be hosting the annual symposium in May 2023 and has chosen the theme of “Language learning in the 21st century: Skills for the Real World.” The Commission on Language Learning noted in its 2017 report (America’s Languages. Investing in language education for the 21st century): \nWhile English continues to be the lingua franca for world trade and diplomacy\, there is an emerging consensus among leaders in business and politics\, teachers\, scientists\, and community members that proficiency in English is not sufficient to meet the nation’s needs in a shrinking world\, nor the needs of individual citizens who interact with other people and cultures more than at any other time in human history – \nThis conference will therefore seek to address the question of what role languages play in today’s globalized society and will present a variety of perspectives on the need for linguistic and cultural understanding. The symposium is targeted at the language-teaching communities at our member institutions\, but we also expect significant interest from colleagues across the country. In addition\, we plan to invite undergraduate\, graduate\, and professional school students whose research and career goals touch on the topics covered in the panels. \nThe conference will begin on Friday\, May 12th\, with an opening keynote address by Steve Leveen\, founder of America the Bilingual and author of America’s Bilingual Century. On Saturday\, May 13th\, the conference will feature five panels dedicated to different perspectives on language learning\, including four panels representing different sectors (business\, government\, non-governmental organizations\, and the arts) and a panel of students who will discuss the importance of language learning for their future careers. \n*To register for the consortium\, you can register for it here: https://campuspress.yale.edu/consortiumsymposium2023/

SUMMARY:The Pocket Calculator\, Google Translate\, and Chat-GPT: From Disruptive Technologies to Curricular Innovation with Invited Guest Speakers\, Per Urlaub and Eva Dessein\, MIT
DESCRIPTION:This Friday\, the Language Resource Center will be holding a talk with invited guest speakers\, Professors Per Urlaub and Eva Dessein\, MIT. The talk will discuss the disruptive potential of AI technologies such as Google Translate and ChatGPT in foreign language/literacy education. The first part of the talk defines the concept of disruption and uses the pocket calculator as a historical example to illustrate challenges and solutions for an educational setting that was fundamentally impacted by new technology. The second part will turn to the present and focus on the impact of online translators not only on ways humans communicate across languages in authentic real-world settings but also on the FL classroom. \nThe presenters will argue that a careful recalibration of educational objectives that include the student’s ability to engage effectively in tasks that rely on human-machine collaboration will provide an opportunity to integrate online translators and related technologies into foreign language curricula. In conclusion\, the presentation will draw a parallel to ChatGPT and related generative AI technologies and argue that language\, writing\, and humanities programs need to respond to these innovations not by banning their use in educational settings\, but by recalibrating instruction\, assessment\, and curriculum. To remain relevant\, educators need to instruct and empower learners to become effective and ethical users of AI technologies while providing them opportunities to discover their intellectual limitations.
