I share this with my GTAs. It is another resource that is no longer active. But, the past podcasts prove useful, especially while designing online content, interactions and lessons. Sometimes, the technology is so exciting and enticing that the pedagogy gets a little overshadowed.
A collection of all sorts of things here - from tech gadgets to apps for iPod Touch, to podcasts for mostly Fr, Sp, Gr, Jpn - but many will be applicable to all languages. It would take you a long time to look at everything that's here!
In a fast changing world impacted by technological advances, language usage becomes "one of the factors being altered most drastically." And as language teachers, most of us feel language teaching has become inevitably bound to technology more and quickly. All this is talked about in "The Edtech Podcast" posted here. Listening through the lengthy audio discussion on how language learning is or can or should be equipped with technology one way or another, one can be happier to see "both sides of change: how we must adjust and what we can take advantage of."
This is a podcast produced by Stacey Margarita Johnson that focuses on many different aspects of language teaching. Stacey is the Assistant Director for Educational Technology at the Center for Teaching at Vanderbilt University and teaches Spanish. Topics of previous We Teach Languages episodes include heritage language maintenance, language legitimacy, linguistic variation, translanguaging, and emotional labor.
