The Southwest Association for Language Learning Technology is accepting proposals through February 15th, 2016 for its annual conference. The

conference will be Friday, April 1st and Saturday, April 2nd, 2016 at the Language Acquisition Resource Center on the campus of San Diego State

University in San Diego, California. The theme of the conference is ³Digital Humanities and Foreign Language Learning.



Language Resource Centers have been a gathering point for the advent of digital technology in the learning and teaching of foreign languages. We

have experienced the transformation from analog recording systems and computer based worksheets to the use of locally-based and virtual digital tools. And among these tools are Language Resources, monolingual, bilingual and parallel corpora, translation memories, sites that channel

news sources ­ the list is almost endless. Along with this has come the opportunity for learners to co-create and share content. The language

classroom and the language resource center are thus the innovation centers if you will for the foreign language learning curriculum. Above all,

language teachers cannot ignore the work being done in creating usable content and applicable tools. And this makes language learning truly

cross-disciplinary.



Any examples of research being conducted or used, cross-disciplinary endeavors and lesson-based content creation would be particularly welcome.





Registration (forthcoming) will be $35 for the General Public, $15 for Students, and $50 for Vendors. SWALLT welcomes presentations and

attendance by K-12, ESL and world language instructors, college/university language faculty, language lab/center staff, and industry  representatives.
