sharing of research findings, effective pedagogical practices and information
on policy.

During the two days, LESLLA will host a live keynote, roundtable, coffee break
sessions for all attendees. Please note that all other sessions (typically
concurrent sessions at a live conference) will be pre-recorded. The recordings
will be available for viewing PRIOR to the conference. During the symposium,
all presenters will be scheduled to join a roundtable discussion and Q & A
session live.
