Language Lab Unleashed! will be webcast live starting at 9:30 p.m. EST. participants can call in via Skype or via phone. A synchronous text-based chatspace will be running during the webcast should listeners wish to participate via text and not audio. The chat and the webcast will be archived and posted to the site after the show. For more details on how to chime in please go to: http://www.languagelabunleashed.com/?page_id=19 *May 11:* A conversation with Jan Marston, Clayton Mitchell and their colleague at the University of Texas-Arlington, Pete Smith, about the Drake University Language Acquisition Program (DULAP) . Drake was in the news in 2001 <http://chronicle.com/weekly/v47/i26/26a01401.htm> when their administration chose to close down their Modern Languages Department. The languages are still taught at Drake, but in a new way. Please join us for a conversation on what happened at Drake, why it happened as it did, and where they are going now. *May 18:* "Why should I care about K-12?" Join us for a conversation about how or why K-12 institutions and higher ed can/can't/should/won't work together to promote language learning in the US. Participants will include Frank Kruger-Robbins of Pinecrest Preparatory School, Inc (who also serves as IALLT's K-12 Coordinator), Joseph Kautz, Academic Technology Specialist at Stanford University's Digital Language Lab, and others.
