Abstract:

I had never been to a language technology conference in France before, but when I saw the 2005 ad for the “Use of New Technologies in Foreign Language Teaching,” know as UNTELE for short, I thought this conference looked too good to pass up.  (Little did I know that Bob Fischer was already way ahead of me.)  I rationalized that I could get by with my French, all one-year’s study of it, supported by my knowledge of Romance linguistics and, as a last refuge, my English, for whatever else I needed.   So, I got on the program to talk about CMC and L2 learning.
