Now that STARTALK summer programs have closed, the Center for Applied Second Language Studies (CASLS) at the University of Oregon extends its congratulations to everyone who participated. This summer, students continued to develop their reflective practices via the use of Pulsar (https://pulsar.uoregon.edu/), an online language learning portfolio developed by CASLS that is based on the LinguaFolio framework. Additionally, STARTALK teacher programs began using Catalyst (https://catalyst.uoregon.edu/) this summer. Catalyst provides a space for teachers to develop professional connections and build a professional dossier based on the TELL framework (http://www.tellproject.org/framework/).  CASLS would like to thank our collaborators at PEARLL (http://pearll.nflc.umd.edu/) and NFLC (https://www.nflc.org/) for their ongoing collaboration in these endeavors. CASLS would also like to thank everyone who has used and provided feedback on the new platform. You made this summer truly stellar!
