Fifth International Conference on Language Teacher Education

May 31–June 2, 2007
Radisson °© University Hotel
Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA

Designed for practitioners and researchers involved in the preparation and ongoing professional development of language teachers, this conference will 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 four broad themes:

I. Knowledge Base of Language Teacher Education
II. Social, Cultural, and Political Contexts of Language Teacher Education
III. Collaborations in Language Teacher Education
IV. Practices of Language Teacher Education
