Title: IALLT Webinar: Changing Roles: Impacting the Language Learning Narrative on Campus

IALLT Webinar: Changing Roles: Impacting the Language Learning Narrative on Campus
September 20, 2017 at 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM
Universities are increasingly deciding to drop language courses from graduation requirements. As a consequence, language departments are left with the responsibility of recruiting students and advocating for the benefits of language learning. In response to this need, the Center for Language Teaching Advancement (CeLTA) at Michigan State University developed a print, event, and social media marketing campaign designed to impact the language learning narrative on campus by focusing on the emotional/experiential benefits of learning a new language rather than on the traditionally recognized benefits (cognitive, social, instrumental). The approach was based on data gathered through extensive student interviews, which allowed the campaign to speak to a real student need, and resulted in an ongoing social media and print campaign, a regularly updated website, and a series of student-led events.
The campaign was innovative in the sense that it was the first time that CeLTA stepped into the world of marketing – something that we recognize to be of increasing importance in the day-to-day work of a language center. In taking on this initiative, CeLTA staff had to expand their expertise to include knowledge of marketing, media production, social media management, and storytelling.
Participants will learn ways to promote language learning beyond the traditional arguments, collaborate with students and across departments, and utilize social media strategies to engage students.

Title: Studying with Japanese Sentences
Body:
Koichi writes, “The idea of using flashcards – or some kind of spaced repetition system – to study Japanese vocabulary words is probably common knowledge to you. However, most people don't know the next step: using flashcards to study Japanese sentences.
“Even if you're already studying Japanese sentence flashcards, there's a lot you can do to make it more effective, including patterns of study, where to find the best sentences, and more.”

Music a motivator to learn Gaelic
by Tom Ayers
September 6, 2017
Researchers at Cape Breton University have published a new study using artificial intelligence that shows music is a motivator for people to learn the Gaelic language, and the authors say the results may help preserve Gaelic and other minority languages.
…The study involved interviews with 10 Cape Breton musicians who also speak Gaelic. The answers were transcribed for input into a computer program called Leximancer, which takes in huge amounts of data — in the form of words, or transcripts of discussions — and compares them with an internal thesaurus to look for connections between words and ideas.
