Dear Friends, 
Seats are still available for NERCOMP's upcoming workshop: 
"Providing Technology Support for Foreign Language Learning"

DATE: 
March 30, 2005

TIME: 
9:00- 3:00 (Coffee and Registration start at 8:00)

PRICE: 
NERCOMP Members: $78, Non-Members: $178

LOCATION: 
College of the Holy Cross 
Hogan Campus Center 
Worcester, MA.

DESCRIPTION: 
Historically, foreign language faculty have been innovators when it has come to integrating technology into teaching and learning. Technology has provided teachers with a means for bringing native speakers and foreign cultures into the classroom and has offered students more 
Individualized opportunities to practice using the language and receive feedback on their progress. Still, supporting the technology needed to teach foreign languages is often challenging because language learning often requires different software to deliver and record audio, display 
non-Western language fonts or test language skills. This SIG will discuss many of these challenges and offer solutions frequently used by directors of language labs/resource center.
