Jeff Magoto
Yamada Language Center Director
Eugene, OR
I'm the director of the Yamada Language Center (YLC) at the University of Oregon. I've been a language teacher for 40 years, but lately most of my time is spent talking to, watching, mentoring, and advocating on behalf of teachers. YLC is a technology and pedagogy resource center for the 16 regularly taught languages at UO, in addition to being the home of the Self Study Language Program which offers 8 more per year. I also teach M.A. courses both online and F2F that connect technology with innovative language teaching pedagogies like blended and flipped learning. Some of my campus service work includes: being the advisor for the Critical Language Scholarship, a board member for the Center for Applied Second Language Studies, and a founding member of the UO Language Council.
