LLL logo

The Indiana University Center for Language Technology seeks discussion room hosts for a Language Learner Lounge (LLL) hybrid event on Wednesday, June 7, 2023, from 4:30 PM to 5:30 PM.  

Audience and Goal: 

  • The general goal of LLL is to form supportive communities for language learners in Indiana University.  
  • The focus for this summer event is “Celebrating Multilingualism”: helping motivated language learners meet and learn from other language learners; helping them share tips and techniques for effective language learning, especially for those who are or want to become proficient in multiple languages.  
  • The potential audience for this event comes from the roughly 300 online and in-person students in IU summer 2023 language programs, plus the larger IU language-learning community. We also welcome non-IU language enthusiasts.   

Event Format:  

  • Hybrid: The event will take place both in-person (on campus, location TBA) and remotely using a virtual meeting platform. 
  • Speed-dating format 
  • 3 concurrent sessions for participants to choose from. 
  • Participants rotate every 15-minutes from session to session, with a 5-minute break in between sessions 
  • Hosts prepare 1 topic and present it 3 times to different groups of participants. 
  • There will be one “free room” for any emerging topic.  
  • Refreshment will be provided at 5:30PM for in-person attendees.  

Host Duties: 

  • Be available June 7th Wednesday 4:30PM-5:30PM EDT.  
  • Hosts can join remotely or in-person.  
  • Attend a pre-event “tech rehearsal” for the virtual platform (date/time TBD). 
  • Prepare a topic of your choice related to multiple-language learning (samples below). 
  • Present a brief introduction to your topic. 
  • Guide discussion on your topic. 

Sample topics: 

Topics should be practical and should relate to major concerns of multilingual language learners. Here are some suggestions. You may cover one of these or may provide a topic of your own: 

  • How to become a polyglot: polyglots reflect on their journeys learning multiple languages. 
  • So, you want to be a polyglot: advice for beginners. 
  • How to add a new language while maintaining those already studied. 
  • How to leverage current language skills to learn an entirely new language.  
  • Polyglots and the job market: using/marketing your language skills to enhance your career. 
  • Language study methods and techniques, time-management, etc.  
  • Pros and cons of formal linguistics study for polyglots.  
  • Depth or breadth? Focusing on one or two languages vs getting broad experience in many 
     

Eligibility:  

  • Any student, faculty member, or staff member may apply to serve as room host. 
  • Experience in language learning 
  • Experience in facilitating discussions 

Room hosts will be awarded a verified digital badge from the Indiana University Center for Language Technology.  

Application Details: 

  • Email celt@indiana.edu with subject: Application for LLL Summer 2023 Room Host 
  • Please indicate your full name and status (undergraduate, graduate, faculty, staff) and your affiliation (department, center, office, etc.) 
  • Provide a topic and discuss how you would cover that topic and guide discussion in a 15-minute slot. 
  • Tell us about your experience facilitating discussions.
