2020 American Language Program Winter Conference on Curricula & Materials: Lessons, Units, Courses

The American Language Program (ALP) Winter Conference is a professional development event for practicing language educators, researchers, and graduate and doctoral students aimed at enriching their pedagogical practice in teaching.

Although primarily focused on English as a Second Language (ESL/TESOL/ELT) education in academic settings, educators teaching other languages or in other educational contexts may find the presentations relevant and applicable to their teaching. The title for the 2020 conference is Curricula & Materials: Lessons, Units, Courses; previous years’ conferences have focused on learning (2019), vocabulary (2018), pronunciation (2017), critical thinking in language teaching and learning (2016), and writing (2015).

An electronic copy of the conference flyer can be found here.

The conference will begin with a plenary address by Dr. Shelley Saltzman, Senior Lecturer & Associate Director for University Partnerships, American Language Program, School of Professional Studies, Columbia University.

This address will be followed by five concurrent sessions, as well as a networking/happy hour.

Breakfast and lunch are included with admission.
