Each fall, HALT hosts its annual half-day Fall Symposium, which is FREE for HALT members. Though originally focused on hands-on workshops for integrating technology into language teaching, since the pandemic, it has shifted to a virtual event with featured national and local presenters offering talks around a selected theme.
