The conference and symposium keynote speakers, Steven Pinker, Michael McCarthy and Penny Ur are internationally acclaimed and not to be missed.

Teacher educators and graduate students may be particularly interested in the Graduate Students Symposium taking place October 11.  

Also on October 11 are the pre-conference Symposia and Workshops from leaders in our field cover a range of timely topics. Furthermore there are several excursions in and around Kamloops prior to the conference and some fantastic social activities.
