<br>The 2015 World Congress promises to be the best one yet! We are expecting<br>over 1000 participants from Canada, the USA, and many other countries around<br>the world, so the congress will be held at the Sheraton on the Falls Hotel<br>
and Conference Centre in the spectacular heart of Niagara Falls. We hope<br>you'll take this opportunity to network with language educators from many<br>different backgrounds, and to share innovative approaches to language<br>
learning, teaching and assessment. Themes to be explored include: new<br>technologies and social networking, student motivation, languages and<br>culture, the Common European Framework of Reference, and linguistic<br>diversity, and will include both practical and research-focused sessions as<br>
well as a vast exhibition of resources.<br><br>We hope you'll join us in Canada! Please circulate this information to your<br>members, add information to your websites, and encourage attendance. There<br>will be preferential rates for FIPLV members so make sure you have paid your<br>
subscriptions too!<br><br>For your information, we are also attaching a poster that you can use at<br>your events.<br><br>With very best wishes<br><br>Terry<br><br>President FIPLV<br><br><br>--<br>Professor Terry Lamb<br>
