Fulfilling the national technology expectations for educators has become an important issue for many U.S. teacher‐training institutions. This article presents the foreign language education program at Wake Forest University as an example of how a content‐focused curriculum can be enhanced by a supportive technology program. An emphasis on content, research, and practice supported by integrated, state‐of‐the‐art technology prepares graduates of the foreign language education program to lead twenty‐first century classrooms.
