The next IALLT webinar will be on Thursday July 18 1:00 PT/2:00 PM MT/3:00pm CT/4:00 pm ET. The title is Short Term Online Language Review Courses and our presenter is Edwige Simon, PhD, Language Technology Coordinator at the Anderson Language
Technology Center at the University of Colorado at Boulder.
Description
The Anderson Language & Technology Center (ALTEC) at CU Boulder offers non-credit online review courses in French, German and Spanish year round. These courses, taught by experienced instructors, are an excellent way for intermediate students
to brush up on their language skills. In this webinar, I will discuss the challenges and affordances of designing and offering these online review courses. I will address design principles (social media and 100% authentic resources), recruiting students, keeping
students motivated in a non-credit course, keeping the content updated, and training teachers to teach online.
