Dear Betty Warner:

Do you know about the International Association for Language
Learning Technology (IALLT)?  The LLTI mailing list on which
you put your posting is a service of IALLT.

Many IALLT members work as consultants, and you will also find
lab professionals (many reading this list) who offer advice in
forums such as this, provided that your questions are not too
vague, nor all-encompassing!

As a start, you could check the IALLT Consulting Services web
pages at <iallt.org> listed under IALLT Services and Resources
in the left margin. You will find helpful suggestions to get
you started.

The list of IALLT member-consultants at the IALLT web
site is by no means exhaustive. You will probably receive
at least several responses to your posting, on and off the
list, from people interested in consulting.

Hands-down, however, one the very best resources of all is
the upcoming IALLT 2003 conference, hosted by the University
of Michigan, June 17-21. There you will find pre-conference
workshops on selecting and/or planning and designing a lab
facility, how to find the right solution to match the needs
of language teachers and learners at your institution, and
how to manage a state-of-the-art language center (or computer
lab specially equipped for language studies).

This is followed by three days of regular conference sessions
covering everything from virtual language labs to emerging
technologies for language learning, and lots of sessions
showcasing innovative materials developed across the
US and in Europe and Asia.

Opportunities abound at IALLT 2003 for meeting and networking
with people facing the same questions as you, in institutions
near you and e-near you!

Registration opens in just two weeks.

Good luck with your lab planning.

best,

Bruce Parkhurst
Coordinator, IALLT Consulting Services
Chair, IALLT 2003 Program Committee
