IALLT is pleased to announce its new webinar series. The webinars will provide members with access to engaging, interactive professional development workshops on a variety of topics related to language centers and language teaching with technology, available at no cost with your IALLT membership.
The first webinar, "What Your Department Chair and Dean Can Help You Understand About Your Job" is designed for language center directors and will be held Wednesday August 15 at 3 pm ET/2 pm CT/ 1 pm MT/ 12 pm PT. The presenters are Ute Lahaie, IALLT President / Dean of Undergraduate Studies at Walsh University and Mike Ledgerwood, Immediate Past-President of IALLT / Chair of World Languages and Cultures at Samford University. Both Dr. Lahaie and Dr. Ledgerwood are former Language Center Directors and either are or have been full professors of languages. Their current positions give them a unique perspective on how Language Centers and technology fit into department-wide and college-wide questions and considerations. They will present some general parameters before giving advice to those attending on how to be sure their concerns fit into a general institutional agenda.
