Title: Webinars from the International Association for Language Learning Technology
Body:
From http://iallt.wildapricot.org/webinars
Here are two upcoming webinars from the International Association for Language Learning Technology:
Occupied Paris: Creating Historical Simulation for Foreign Language Learning
Date: Friday, September 9, 2016
Several time periods during the Nazi-occupied Paris are studied using an instructor-created role-playing game (RPG) where upper-division French students take on fictional identities. Underlying this virtual world is an ARIS game where design mechanics scaffold student learning. ARIS is an open-source authoring environment for mobile games, data gathering and interactive story-telling. The presentation will: (1) present the pedagogical choices made in creating the game based on underlying theories of learning, gaming, foreign language acquisition, and moral/ethical development in young adults; (2) demonstrate game play and discuss student reactions in pilot-test groups and (3) give a brief demonstration of the open-source authoring tool, ARIS (arisgames.org).
Promoting Student Engagement in a Hybrid Language Course
Date: Tuesday, October 18, 2016
This webinar will explore a hybrid model (face-to-face/online learning) as a method of promoting student engagement in L2 courses. General course design principles will be explored, focusing on two specific classroom activities -- discussions and student-produced videos – as well as relevant assessments. The presenters will also provide student feedback on the activities and overall course design.

One million Welsh speaker target set for 2050
by Becky Carr
July 31, 2016
One million Welsh speakers by 2050 is the target for the Welsh Government with plans set to be launched at the National Eisteddfod today.
The first minister and the minister for lifelong learning and Welsh language will unveil a consultation paper, which covers six areas of focus for the plans.
Despite being a bilingual nation, the most recent UK census in 2011 found that only 560,000 of the population admitted their ability to speak Welsh.
Blaenau Gwent AM Alun Davies, who is the minister for lifelong learning and Welsh language, said: “Reaching a million speakers is a deliberately ambitious target.
