Held in a fully virtual format, this year’s conference provided an accessible platform for participants to explore emerging trends in language teaching and learning. Sessions highlighted innovative uses of artificial intelligence, open educational resources, inclusive pedagogical practices, and strategies for supporting faculty and students through language resource centers.

As co-host, the LRC played an active role in conference planning, technical coordination, and session facilitation. The virtual format allowed presenters and attendees to connect across institutions, share practical solutions, and engage in thoughtful discussion about the evolving role of language centers in higher education.

Co-hosting this regional conference directly benefits the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee community. Faculty gain exposure to cutting-edge research and practical models that can be immediately applied in their courses. As instructors integrate new tools and inclusive strategies, students experience more engaging, accessible, and effective language learning environments. The event also strengthens 51ÁÔÆæ’s professional networks, enhances institutional visibility in the field of language learning technology, and creates opportunities for future collaboration and grant development.

Through its partnership with MWALLT and peer institutions, the LRC continues to advance 51ÁÔÆæ’s commitment to innovation, multilingualism, and global engagement. For more information about this conference and its initiatives, please visit

This hands-on workshop explores how AI tools can be leveraged to support Universal Design for Learning (UDL), creating an accessible and inclusive learning environment. Participants experience how AI provides multiple means of engagement, representation, and expression, ensuring all students—regardless of ability, background, or learning approach—have equal opportunities to succeed. Participants will use AI tools to remove barriers, customize learning experiences for diverse student needs, and focus on practical application of AI, while saving valuable time. Participants should have some familiarity and practice with Generative AI technology and effective prompt writing.

Workshop Description:

Begin by developing a shared understanding of what language proficiency is across levels and how to support learners’ progress towards proficiency goals. Develop a toolbox of strategies to design purposeful units and performance tasks in the three modes of communication (Interpretive, Interpersonal, and Presentational) and identify day-to-day learning activities that support language goals. Apply the principles of backward design and the use of authentic resources to effectively plan meaningful learning experiences in the target language. Explore the assessment of language skills in each mode of communication as well as strategies for involving learners in self-assessment for ongoing proficiency growth.
