In early June this summer, the CTW Mellon Project Staff attended the annual CALICO (The Computer Assisted Language Instruction Consortium) symposium (see www.calico.org). This year's gathering, at Miami University in Oxford, OH reflected the theme of " Advancing Language Learning Technologies into the New Millennium." Ana Pérez-Girones co-presented a paper with Claire Bradin of Michigan entitled "How Do We Know If It Worked? Evaluating a CALL Initiative."

Steven Smolnik co-presented "Look Both Ways Before Crossing: Surviving the Analog to Digital Transition" with Roger Sánchez-Berroa, Wesleyan's Language Lab Director. For another good primer on "Planning for the Language Lab of the Future", take a look at a presentation by Samantha Earp, from the University of North Carolina, Charlotte, and Rachel Saury, from the University of Virginia, Charlottesville: http://www.people.Virginia.EDU/~res4n/presentations/calico/ppframe.htm
