20th Anniversary Celebration for the Doctoral Program in Applied Linguistics and Technology
Join us the morning of November 5 in person or online for a trip down memory lane with ALT alumni, an opportunity to learn about their adventures after ISU, and a celebration lunch. Stay for a selection of nearly 100 posters, papers, and keynote presentations on the theme Building Knowledge of Generative AI in Applied Linguistics. Please see the complete schedule at https://apling.engl.iastate.edu/conferences/technology-for-second-language-learning-conference/tsll-2025/
Registration is free, but all participants must register. If you plan to attend the celebration lunch, please register by October 23 (Thursday).
I hope you can join us for your choice of events!
More than two years have elapsed since freely accessible generative AI (GenAI) captured the attention of professionals in applied linguistics. Since that time, groundbreaking developments continue to appear such as DeepSeekR1 and ChatGPT o-series models with integrated Chain-of-Thought functionality, each one inviting exploration by language teachers, test developers, and researchers who continue to increase understanding of GenAI uses in the field.
The 22nd Technology for Second Language Learning Conference will provide an opportunity to contribute to knowledge and understanding of GenAI for applied linguistics with a program featuring presentations on the theme Building Knowledge of Generative AI in Applied Linguistics. The conference theme is apt for marking the 20th anniversary of the launch of the doctoral program in Applied Linguistics & Technology at Iowa State University. Since its start in 2005, dozens of doctoral students and alumni have enriched the profession with their contributions—in particular, research and practice fueled by their view of applied linguistics as a field inextricably connected with the technologies used for learning, assessment, communication, and research.
