The next NERALLT meeting, Virtually Anything: Modes of Communication, will take place on Thursday and Friday, October 26 and 27, 2006 and will be hosted by Thomas Hammond at Harvard University, Cambridge, MA.  

This meeting will examine the generational shift occurring in young people, regarding the use of communication and collaboration technologies by these "digital natives.” How will their social and learning styles shape instructional language technology and pedagogy for the next generation of students?

Connecticut College will host the Spring Meeting of NERALLT on April 28th. The program for the day is entitled The Language Resource Center and Emerging Structures on Campus: Integration, Innovation, and Independence, and will discuss how advances in technology are making colleges re-examine the traditional role of Language Labs. Nina Garret, Director, Center for Language Study at Yale University, will give the keynote address. Other speakers will describe the structural models being used at a vareity of institutions.  Language technology and IT professionals from a variety of schools will also participate in a panel discussion that examines commonalities that can help bridge the gap between their departments.
