Workshop Focuses on the Use of Technology for Language Teaching

A pedagogy workshop was held on East Asian language pedagogy on Monday October 14. The Asian Studies Center and EALL invited Patricia Wetzel (Professor of Japanese and Director of the Institute for Asian Studies, Portland State University), who lead a discussion about the use of techonology in language teaching, followed by a Q&A session. In the afternoon session, Wetzel presented the outline of a new textbook project she is heading up. EALL's full-time teachers of all three language components (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) as well as instructors from Carnegie Mellon University and the Slippery Rock University attended this very useful occasion to exchange ideas. The workshop was sponsored the Asian Studies Center.
