| Title | Voice and Vision in Language Teacher Education: Fourth International Conference |
| Body | June 2-4, 2005 Radisson-Metrodome Hotel Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA The mission of this unique 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 Over 100 papers and symposia will be presented by language teacher educators and researchers from all over the world. Register now for this exciting conference! The conference begins on Thursday evening (June 2) with the keynote address and an opening reception and continues throughout the day on Friday and Saturday (June 3- 4) with plenary sessions, papers, and symposia.
