The Consortium for Language Teaching and Learning

Each year, the CLTL funds a symposium on issues and trends in second and foreign language teaching and learning.  Recent topics have included language centers, content-based instruction, community-based teaching and genre-based teaching.  These events are free and are attended by CLTL-member faculty as well as language instructors across the country.
