Ninth International Conference on Language Teacher Education
Changes and Challenges in Language Teacher Education

May 14–16, 2015
Minneapolis

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 the following four broad themes:

The Knowledge Base of Language Teacher Education
Social, Cultural, and Political Context of Language Teacher Education
Collaborations in Language Teacher Education
Processes of Language Teacher Education

Registration is now open. Early bird registration ends April 1, and regular registration ends May 7.
