It aims to provide a platform for language educators and technology specialists to present their research and practices in integrating technology into the teaching and learning of languages and cultures. Participants will learn how technology is being used in developing curriculum, creating instructional materials, and designing learning tasks; and how current research and new technologies have impacted the way we teach and learn foreign languages.
