This paper examines the role of technology in the professional development of teaching assistants, and specifically, it addresses how applications of technology to teaching can provide continuity for the L2 curriculum beyond the basic levels. After a discussion about the importance of grounding instructional practice in research and theory, the article highlights two different technology-based projects created by teaching assistants who were enrolled in a second language acquisition and technology course. The authors offer details about the activities along with corresponding research and theory. (Contains 4 tables and 8 figures.)
