The International Association for Language Learning Technology (IALLT) is pleased to announce the Call for Proposals for the 2027 IALLT Conference at the University of Wisconsin—Madison. The conference is co-sponsored by the UW–Madison Language Institute.
Madison’s landscape of lakes and waterways reminds us that even the smallest movement can create expanding circles of influence. As technology continues to reshape language education, this theme invites us to explore questions such as: How do we harness emerging technologies in ways that deepen cultural understanding, strengthen human connection, and keep students at the center of our teaching? How do we develop language and digital literacy skills simultaneously while designing learning experiences that remain thoughtful, inclusive, and accessible? How can we use technology to foster meaningful collaboration across languages, cultures, institutions, and global contexts? We invite proposals that dive into these questions and create new ripples of possibility across the topics suggested below and beyond.
