CALL FOR PROPOSALS IS NOW OPEN!!! THE 2023 NECTFL Conference, Re-imagining the World Language “Classroom”: The Future Starts Today, will take place on March 2-4, 2023, at the NY Hilton Midtown. We welcome all proposals, those with a connection to our theme as well as those that address topics of general interest in the field. Our aim is to bring together all those involved in the teaching and promotion of world languages—including researchers and educators at every level of education—from the Northeast and beyond. Our program will include in-depth three and six-hour pre-conference workshops, a variety of sessions, featured presentations by distinguished speakers, as well as our , Research Roundtable, and “Best of State” sessions.
What have we learned in the past two years of change, adaptation, and innovation to reimagine the “classroom” and world language learning? Tomorrow’s “classroom” is not merely technology based:
● How is teaching changing?
● How is the concept of “classroom” evolving?
● How can we better engage students?
● How are new technologies impacting teaching and learning?
● How is inclusion addressed as our “classrooms” evolve?
● How do we address social emotional learning?
These questions need to be explored in order to take advantage of lessons learned during the pandemic and to develop strategies that will keep world language in the forefront of 21st century education. Sessions may address a wide variety of topics ranging from best practices and current/emerging technologies to issues such as inclusion and social emotional learning. We are delighted that our keynote speaker is Jessica Haxhi! Let’s work together to better serve all of our students. https://nectfl.wufoo.com/forms/s7bjeuk081admd/
