The XXVIII AICLU Seminar, hosted by the Language Center of the University of Trieste on November 14th and 15th, will include a session dedicated to the contributions of administrative and technical staff within University Language Centers. The session aims to foster the exchange of best practices, with special focus on the activities undertaken by University Language Centers, which, due to their unique nature, often diverge from standard university procedures.

This session builds on the work begun at the XXVII AICLU Seminar, held at the University of Padua in 2023, and will continue during the AICLU Conference at the University of Pavia in June 2024.

Both administrative and technical staff are invited to submit their proposals on the theme of the XXVIII AICLU Seminar, “Redefining /Revitalizing Language Education through Intercultural Communication: from Technical/Digital Skills to Ethical Concerns in a data-driven Society” in relation to any of the following:

· Online language learning tools: managing online and blended learning platforms and data-driven management systems

· AI and Language learning: collaborating with CELs (language teachers) to foster innovations in language pedagogy

· Management of course admission criteria and test results

· Facilitation of payment and administrative procedures with university administration offices and third parties

· Inclusion and Intercultural Communication: overseeing certificates, statements, external certifications, and badges

Presentations, delivered in Italian and 10-15 minutes in length, will be followed by a 10–15-minute Q&A session. Proposals are to be submitted by July 31, 2024. Notification of acceptance will be from September 1, 2024.
