Just a gentle reminder...

Language Lab Unleashed! will broadcast this evening (May 11th)  +/- 9:30 
p.m. EST. 

Tonight we will be talking about the story of Drake University and the 
renovation of their language program.  Our on air guests include Jan 
Marston and  Clayton Mitchell  of Drake and their colleague at the 
University of Texas-Arlington, Pete Smith

Drake, as many of us remember, was in the news in 2001. On  March 9, 
2001,  Chronicle of Higher Ed published  the (rather) shocking headline 
"A University Plans to Promote Languages by Killing Its Language 
Department".  A link to this article is available on our site, as is the 
April 13, 2001 response to that article  from the President of Drake 
University, David Maxwell.

The show will not dwell on the past... rather we would like to talk 
about how the teaching of languages has returned to Drake. Come and 
listen to some of the innovations that Drake is exploring via DULAP... 
both on campus as well as through distance learning.

If you can't listen to it live, no worries.  We will archive the audio 
and make a podcast ready for download very soon.

Plan to listen and participate and have Skype?  Plan to listen and 
participate but the Skype conference call is full (or you don't have 
Skype)?   Just want to listen and "talk" in the chatroom?   Please go 
to: http://www.languagelabunleashed.com/?page_id=19  to learn how....

We hope you can make it.

Barbara
