Language Teacher Education for a World on the Move: Meeting the Needs of Diverse Student Populations
Tenth International Conference on Language Teacher Education
February 2 - 4, 2017
UCLA Covel Commons, California

The Tenth International Conference on Language Teacher Education welcomes proposals for papers, posters, panels, and discussion sessions on all aspects of the educational and professional development of language teachers. Proposals may report on data-based research, theoretical and conceptual analyses, or best practices in language teacher education. The 21st century, with its ongoing migration and globalization trends, requires new approaches to teacher training. The theme of LTE 2017 alerts us to the diverse nature of student populations in an increasingly multilingual world, and to the importance of language teacher trainers in addressing the challenges and potentials of this population.

The mission of this 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: world language teaching; bilingual education; heritage and community language education; immersion education; indigenous and minority language education; English as a Second or Foreign Language (ESL/EFL) instruction; 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 in an increasingly diverse and multilingual world.

Submission deadline: June 21, 2016
