SUMMARY:Yale CLS Virtual Brown Bag Series:  Dr. Erik Voss
DESCRIPTION:This week\, the Center for Language Study is delighted to host Dr. Erik Voss of Columbia University Teachers College. \nTechnology for learning-oriented assessment in remote environments \nEffective use of information technologies has become increasingly important as we shift to remote or hybrid language learning and assessment. Because of limited in-person interaction\, selection and application of appropriate technologies for remote environments becomes critical. In a remote environment\, language learning and language assessment tasks can share technologies for the purpose of assessing learning. For example\, a learning-oriented language assessment approach can enable new forms of learning interaction and capturing new forms of evidence for learning (Saville\, 2013). In addition\, computers and mobile devices are capable of supporting collaborative or independent tasks\, enhancing learner engagement\, and providing appropriate\, timely feedback. \nThis presentation will discuss ways in which technology can support basic principles of learning-oriented assessment such as developing assessment tasks as learning tasks\, including student involvement in assessment processes\, and producing forward-looking feedback (Keppell & Carless\, 2006). Furthermore\, the selection of appropriate tools and resources should take into consideration new language constructs and the impact of new assessment methods (Chapelle & Voss\, 2016). The discussion will also highlight emerging information technologies that can be adapted for learning-oriented language assessment. \nPresenter Bio \nErik Voss\, Ph.D. is a Lecturer in the Applied Linguistics and TESOL program at Teachers College\, Columbia University in New York City. His teaching and research interests include applications of natural language processing in applied linguistics\, language assessment and technology\, and language assessment validation research. He has served as secretary of the Midwest Association of Language Testers (MwALT) and is an active member-at-large on the board of the International Language Testing Association (ILTA). He is currently coordinating social media for ILTA as part of the communications sub-committee and exploring options for hosting virtual language testing events.

SUMMARY:LRC Invited Speaker:  Dr. Marta González-Lloret
DESCRIPTION:TBLT in the Distance Language Classroom\nwith Dr. Marta González-Lloret\nUniversity of Hawai’i at Manoa \nAs most teaching practitioners have had the chance to experience this year\, technology can facilitate learning\, including language learning. However\, without a sound methodological base for the development of our curriculum and activities\, technology is just a vehicle\, and not the effective tool it can be. This talk advocates that a technology-mediated task-based curriculum is an effective organizing framework for online and hybrid language courses. I will first review key concepts such as task\, technology-mediated tasks\, and pedagogic tasks. Participants will then learn how to select tasks for an online curriculum and how to sequence them based on previous existing SLA research. Several technologies and activities will then be proposed as tasks that can be adopted and adapted for different languages and at different levels. Finally\, the presentation will address some of the challenges of implementing TBLT in online environments and will suggest ways to overcome them. \nRecommended reading:\nGonzález-Lloret\, Marta. “Technology for task‐based language teaching.” The handbook of technology and second language teaching and learning (2017): 234-247.

SUMMARY:Instructional Innovation Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Our Instructional Innovation Workshops on pedagogy and technology in the virtual language classroom address the needs and interests of the language community. Some of the topics considered for this semester include: advanced Canvas functionality\, working with non-Latin-based writing systems\, and implementing project-based learning. \nYou are invited to join us in Zoom ID:  847 208 7081

SUMMARY:Language Teaching Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Each week\, a Columbia language instructor will present an idea\, a tool\, or a challenge related to teaching online\, and 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. \nThe 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.
