During the Fall of 2001, the CLS hosted a series of weekly professional development seminars. All members of the Yale community involved with or interested in language instruction were welcome to attend. Topics focused on important issues in language teaching and learning, varying focus between the pedagogical and the technological (many topics spanned both domains).

The seminars were held at the CLS (212 York Street) every Monday from 4:00PM to 6:00PM, starting October 1.

Most presentations below were videotaped. If you wish to view or borrow a tape of a particular presentation, contact the CLS technology staff by phone (432-8196) or e-mail (cls@yale.edu).
