Annual Conference

2027 NORTHEAST CONFERENCE 

SESSION PROPOSAL SUBMISSIONS

NOW OPEN!

 

The NECTFL Board of Directors is opening the Call for Proposals for The Northeast Conference 2027.  This year’s conference theme is “Languages NOW: Voices for the Future”.  There are so many ways that our students can use their language skills NOW to make a significant difference in the lives of others.   

It is my hope that positive multilingual interactions will energize our students to be lifelong language learners and  advocates for a lifetime of language learning for all.  It is through those two lenses that I invite you to submit a proposal for a session at The Northeast Conference 2027. As you prepare your ideas, allow these questions to inspire your thinking:

How do you engage our students in using their languages now?  

How do we ensure that we have strong voices for the future of language learning? 

The Conference Session lineup will include many different threads and themes, including Languages NOW (how you engage students in multilingual communities), Voices for the future (advocacy), community and workplace, culture and literature, instructional strategies, teacher innovation, fundamentals of language teaching, addressing the needs of neurodiverse students, curriculum and assessment, research, and heritage learners.  

Save this link to submit your proposal.  The deadline for submission is July 15th.   

I can’t wait to meet you in Midtown on February 25-27, 2027.
