The means and methods for language learning and maintenance (aka language acquisition, sustainment and enhancement) are changing rapidly in this new era of ubiquitous computing and communications. Emerging technologies and methods now allow and encourage language learning at whatever time and place the need or opportunity arises.
- How do we exploit this new flexibility to increase a person’s language-learning time, effectiveness, relevance and enjoyment, without losing the humanity and motivation that the instructor-student relationship provided?
- In the future, what technology infrastructures and content sets will best support the wide spectrum of available learning regimens -- from fully independent learning, to remotely-guided instruction, to distance learning, to classroom learning?
- In brief, how do we conceive of, develop and deliver the new-era of dispersed, effective language learning?
Individual contributor and manager-level position(s) in Language-Learning Content Development are now available at Transparent Language, a leader in language learning technology and transformation.
Successful candidate(s) will be intelligent, creative, energetic and articulate, as demonstrated by superior academic and work performance. Awareness of current language-learning issues, theory or pedagogy is a plus, especially in combination with an active openness to new ideas and points of view.
