The Symposium on World Language Education (SOWLE) is an annual conference
that provides language teaching professionals with opportunities to discuss
current trends and issues in world language education. The Symposium is
hosted by the Graduate School of Translation, Interpretation, and Language
Education (GSTILE) at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at
Monterey (MIIS). (SOWLE was formally known as the Foreign Language
Education Symposium–FLEDS).

The Symposium will be held virtually on February 5th & 12th, 2022. Since
this year’s symposium will be hosted completely online, presenters and
attendees can participate from all around the world! Registration for this
event includes access to both days of the symposium.

This year’s symposium theme is “Promoting Equity and Leadership in the
Language Classroom”.

The SOWLE Committee members believe that in order to promote equity and
leadership in the classroom, world language teachers must actively adapt
their lessons and classroom communities to better serve the interests and
needs of their students. This can be approached through fostering
leadership strategies to address inequality still present in our
disciplines and institutions.

Registration is required to participate, but registration for students will
be free of charge. In an effort to continue these important conversations
regarding the field of language education, the $5 USD registration fee for
faculty and professionals will serve as donations to the Leo van Lier
Speaker Series
<https://www.middlebury.edu/institute/academics/degree-programs/language-education/overview/van-lier-lecture-series>,
which brings preeminent scholars in the field of applied linguistics to
campus to share their expertise on current issues in language education.
The department intends to invite guest speakers who have conducted research
on equitable world language education for upcoming events.

The SOWLE Planning Committee consists of five graduate students in the
Language Education department’s “Leadership in Language Education” course
taught by Professor Kathi Bailey, who is also the faculty advisor for SOWLE
2022.

In addition to the two days of conference presentations, on Friday,
February 11, there will be a panel discussing the contributions Dr. van
Lier made to the field of language education, as a researcher, author,
teacher, and language teacher educator.
