By tracing the winding path of college language students, we can deliberately map community based learning onto several points of that trajectory. In this talk, Ann will chart some pivotal points in "the language student experience" and suggest ways both big and small that we can capitalize on those moments to help students situated themselves and their learning within communities.

Editor's Notes
