Society, Identity, and Transformation in Language Teacher Education
Eleventh International Conference on Language Teacher Education
May 30–June 1, 2019 
Minneapolis, Minnesota

The Eleventh International Conference on Language Teacher Education welcomes proposals for papers and symposia on all aspects of the education and professional development of language teachers. Papers and symposia may report on empirical research, theoretical and conceptual analyses, or practices in language teacher education.

The mission of this unique biennial conference is to address the education of teachers of all languages, at all instructional and institutional levels, and in all the many national and international contexts in which this takes place, including: English as a Second or Foreign Language (ESL/EFL) instruction; foreign/modern/world language teaching; bilingual education; immersion education; indigenous and minority language education; heritage language education; and the teaching of less commonly taught languages. The conference aims to bring together teacher educators from these many contexts to discuss and share research, theory, and best practices and to initiate and sustain meaningful professional dialogue across languages, levels, and settings. The conference will focus on four broad themes, which are described below.

All papers must address an audience of language teacher educators and fit within one of the four themes listed below:

• Theme I: The Knowledge Base of Language Teacher Education
• Theme II: Social, Cultural, and Political Contexts of Language Teacher Education
• Theme III: Collaborations in Language Teacher Education
• Theme IV: Practices of Language Teacher Education

Call for Papers Deadline: January 18, 2019
