Institute: Contemporary Applied Linguistics for Language Educators

A professional learning summer institute, June 9-13, 2025

This free summer institute will guide educators in the use of a forthcoming publication from a new CERCLL project: Julieta Fernandez and Chantelle Warner (University of Arizona) are co-editing an OER entitled Contemporary Applied Linguistics for Language Educators. The volume features chapters by authors who will be presenting during the institute, leading attendees through methods to apply their chapter and its practical activities to attendees’ own teaching contexts. The volume will be available just before the institute begins.

Participants will meet daily online, between June 9 and June 13. During registration, participants will select a minimum of three sessions, and they can attend any combination of sessions. Certificates of participation will be provided, based on the number of sessions attended.

The full schedule will be announced in January, but over the course of the five days of the institute, participants can expect to hear from the following authors on these topics:
