Meeting Description:

The Texas Foreign Language Education Conference (TexFLEC) at The University of Texas at San Antonio is an annual conference that brings together researchers, educators, and students in the fields of foreign language education, TEFL/TESL (Teaching English as a Foreign or Second Language), linguistics, and applied linguistics. TexFLEC provides conference participants with the opportunity to share diverse up-to-date ideas.

Bridging the gap between research and practice is an inevitable challenge in the field of foreign/second language pedagogy. TexFLEC unites scholars and educators from diverse contexts who strive to connect research findings to classroom practices, thus shaping the future direction of language education.

TexFLEC welcomes research studies and practice-oriented presentations that clearly establish strong connections between theory and practice in diverse contexts. Our goal is to offer an interdisciplinary forum for all those interested in research findings with implications for the classroom as well as those interested in pedagogical approaches to language learning grounded on empirical findings.

We are very excited to announce our list of keynote speakers. Please help us welcome Dr. Bonny Norton from the University of British Columbia. She will be talking about her recently published book ''Identity and language learning: Extending the conversation''.

We will also have Dr. Juliet Langman who is Professor of Applied Linguistics in the Department of Bicultural-Bilingual Studies at the University of Texas at San Antonio. Her research interests focus on minority youth populations in multilingual settings, exploring the intersection between language use, language learning, and identity. 

The last but not the least, we will have Dr. Elaine K. Horwitz who is Professor of Curriculum and Instruction and Director of the Graduate Program in Foreign Language Education at the University of Texas at Austin. She teaches courses in language teaching methodology, second language acquisition, language testing, and second language research methods.
