The fourth 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 data-based research, theoretical and conceptual analyses, or
best practices in language teacher education.

The mission of the 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; 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 Contexts of Language Teacher Education;
* Collaborations in Language Teacher Education; and
* Processes of Language Teacher Education

Proposals are more likely to be accepted if they address one of these themes.
The deadline for submission of proposals for papers and symposia is
November 30, 2004.
