Meeting Description:

The Ninth International Conference on Language Teacher Education welcomes proposals for papers and symposia on all aspects of the education and professional development of language teachers. Papers and symposia may report on data-based research, theoretical and conceptual analyses, or best practices in language teacher education.

The mission of the conference is to address the education of teachers of all languages, at all instructional and institutional levels, and in all the many national and international contexts in which this takes place, including: English as a Second or Foreign Language (ESL/EFL) instruction; foreign/modern/world language teaching; bilingual education; immersion education; indigenous and minority language education; and the teaching of less commonly taught languages. The conference aims to bring together teacher educators from these many contexts to discuss and share research, theory, and best practices and to initiate and sustain meaningful professional dialogue across languages, levels, and settings. 

Featured Plenary Speakers:

- Maria Carreira, Professor, California State University, Long Beach
- Fernando Rubio, Associate Professor, University of Utah
- Angela Scarino, Associate Professor, University of South Australia
- Annela Teemant, Associate Professor, Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis

Call for Papers:

The conference will focus on four broad themes, which are described below. Proposals are more likely to be accepted if they address one of these themes.

Theme I: The Knowledge Base of Language Teacher Education
Theme II: Social, Cultural, and Political Contexts of Language Teacher Education
Theme III: Collaborations in Language Teacher Education
Theme IV: Practices of Language Teacher Education

See detailed information about the conference themes at:

http://www.carla.umn.edu/conferences/LTE2015/call.html

Session Types:

Symposia (2 hours): A symposium provides an opportunity for a group of individuals (typically three to five) to propose a specific issue or topic in the field of language teacher education and examine it from a variety of perspectives. Total presentation time is limited to one hour to ensure that at least half of the session engages presenters and the audience in extended dialogue.

Paper Sessions (25-minute papers): A paper involves a 25-minute presentation on a topic related to one of the four themes. Papers will be grouped thematically when possible. Grouped paper presentation sessions will include three papers followed by 45-60 minutes of questions and discussion after all of the papers have been presented.

Discussion Sessions (55 minutes): Discussion Sessions address a topic best pursued through extended dialogue among participants. These sessions will begin with a short (10 minute) informal presentation; the remaining time will be devoted to discussion moderated by the presenter/facilitator. Discussion sessions are given in small-group settings.

Submission Guidelines:

-All proposals should be appropriate for an audience of language teacher educators (not language teachers) and fit within one of the four themes listed above.
-You will need a 400-word (maximum) abstract of your paper, session, or symposium.
-You will also need a 50-word summary for the printed program.
-Study the paper review criteria: http://www.carla.umn.edu/conferences/LTE2015/review_criteria.html
-Lead presenters will be responsible for contacting all co-presenters with information concerning the conference and presentations.
-For symposia or presentations with more than 1 presenter, please include the contact information for all presenters even though information regarding the proposal will only be sent to the first (lead) presenter listed.

Submit your session proposal online: http://www.carla.umn.edu/conferences/LTE2015/call.html
