Title | Celebrating 20 Years of Jeff Magoto’s Leadership in Language Learning |
Body | On April 1, the University of Oregon community came together to celebrate Jeff Magoto, director of the Yamada Language Center (YLC). Jeff has been a main stay of the language teaching and learning community for twenty years.
As director of YLC, Jeff has championed the study of all languages, especially less commonly taught languages. YLC has taught many languages such as Arabic and Korean as self-study courses and, once high enrollments were established, transitioned those courses to regular academic departments. Jeff also serves as a course developer and co-instructor for the American English Institute’s eLearning program. Through AEI’s MOOC, he has trained thousands of English language teachers all over the world. Jeff has had a large impact on CASLS and its projects as well. Jeff was the lead project coordinator for A National Virtual Language Lab (ANVILL), originally called Speech in Burns, that continues to bring technology-based language learning tools to all programs, regardless of their size or budget. Thank you, Jeff, for being a tireless advocate for language and culture learning both at the UO and across the country. Here’s to twenty more years working together! |
