Body:
From http://languagesymposium.uic.edu/
2016 Chicago Language Symposium
Blended Learning
April 15-16, 2016
University of Illinois at Chicago
This symposium will explore blended/hybrid learning (courses that combine online and classroom learning) in the foreign language context. Online materials have become an integral component in language instruction. Whether they are used to supplement and intensify curricula or to enable a decrease in face-to-face class time, they are having an increasing impact on how we teach and how students learn. The organizers invite proposals that explore how teachers at all levels are creating and implementing hybrid/blended classes in all languages.
Proposal deadline: February 1, 2016.

NNELL Professional Development Webinar
Turnaround to Transfer: Design Beyond the Method
January 21, 2016
Dr. Jennifer Eddy states that transfer requires inference and negotiation of meaning, not just collecting facts, repeating a skill and completing a drill. She adds that without transfer, the language learner forgets, misunderstands a concept or only knows it in the rigid predictable context in which it was taught. Join in for a Q & A as Dr. Eddy elaborates on Turnaround to Transfer: Design beyond the method from the 2014 Spring Summer NNELL Journal vol. 19 issue 2.
