MAALLT and FLAVA offer online workshop in honor of Shirley Hall

Hello colleagues,

The Mid-Atlantic Association of Language Learning Technology (MAALLT) is excited to hold our next Tech Slam, “Latin It Up!” on Thursday, October 16, 2025 at 7:00-8:00 pm Eastern Time. This event is co-sponsored by FLAVA, the Foreign Language Association of Virginia.

In honor of our dear colleague Shirley Hall, who passed away earlier this year, the suggested theme of presentations this time will be ways in which technology can be used to teach, learn, or promote Latin. Proposals on other topics related to language teaching and learning technology will also be considered.

A Tech Slam is like a poetry slam, but instead of focusing on music, a Tech Slam consists of multiple 5-minute micro-presentations about useful tools or practices related to language learning technologies. 

Presenters will introduce their tool or practice and explain its benefits to teachers or learners. A question and answer period will conclude the event. 

Please submit your proposal to:

The live event will be open to the first 100 registrants, and the recorded event will be shared afterwards with MAALLT and FLAVA members who unable to attend live. The deadline for proposals in Friday, September 19, 2025. 

You do not need to be a member of MAALLT or live in the Mid-Atlantic region in order to present or attend. Presenters whose proposals have been accepted will be notified shortly after the submission deadline.

We look forward to receiving your proposal!

Best wishes,

Errol M. O’Neill
