Technology and Language Learning
in New England and New York:
A Look into the Future
|
|
A conference organized by:

|
The CTW Mellon Project for Language Learning
and Technology

This conference has been organized as a forum to explore the present
and future uses of technology to enhance language instruction in the New England
liberal arts colleges involved with Project 2001, a 62-college language and technology
initiative funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Project 2001 facilitates
collaborative development of technology-based materials for language learning.
This conference will showcase technology projects developed by language faculty,
and offer a much-needed opportunity to establish professional contacts that will
inform our efforts to implement technology in our language and literature curricula,
as well as encourage future consortial projects.
