The Center for Applied Second Language Studies is proud to announce its receipt of the Access to Language Education Award at the CALICO (the Computer Assisted Language Instruction Consortium) 2017 Conference this past weekend in Flagstaff, Arizona. This award is granted to CALICO members who feature outstanding language-learning resources on their websites. Judged on ease of access, versatility of resources, and breadth of resources, one site is selected every year by CALICO, Lernu.net, and the Esperantic Studies Foundation to be honored with this award.

The CASLS website was selected for the many free, research-based resources it provides for language teachers. For example, CASLS offers a variety of pedagogical support materials related to backwards design, student goal setting, and student reflection on LFO Network (lfonetwork.uoregon.edu), a website devoted to supporting educators implementing LinguaFolio, a language-learning portfolio. CASLS was also chosen due to its weekly publications of InterCom (caslsintercom.uoregon.edu) and for Games2Teach (games2teach.uoregon.edu), a professional development website that is devoted to the successful and pedagogically sound incorporation of digital games in the language-learning classroom. This website not only features contemporary research on games, but also 25 downloadable classroom activities that are adaptable across 17 languages.
