Upcoming Events

Brownbag discussion: Innovation in Language Teaching and Learning Brownbag: New Directions?
12:00-1:00pm, Thursday, May 16
1418 Van Hise Hall, 1220 Linden Drive

At our final brownbag conversation this spring, we will reflect on the many discussions that we have had so far this semester: on distance learning and course sharing; business models for distance learning; preparing, mentoring and supporting language teaching assistants and instructors; summer and professional language programs; assessing student learning outcomes in languages; maximizing language and culture learning outside of the classroom; and language learning and study abroad. We will discuss those areas that you would like to further explore or develop, in the context of other discussions currently taking place regarding possible future directions for languages on our campus.
Please come to join the discussion!
A buffet lunch will be provided.
