Collectivizing Care in Teacher Education for Multilingual Teachers of Color
The mission of this unique conference is to address the education of teachers of all languages, at all instructional and institutional levels, and in all the national and international contexts in which this takes place, including: English as an additional/world language (e.g., ESL, EFL) instruction; world/modern/classical language teaching; bilingual education; immersion education; indigenous and minority language education; heritage language education; and the teaching of less commonly taught languages. The conference thus aims to bring together a range of teacher educators to discuss and share research, theory, and situated practices and to initiate and sustain meaningful professional dialogue across languages, levels, and settings on the topic of language teacher education.
The conference will focus on the following four broad 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
