Presenters and attendees are encouraged to expand their skill sets as they envision the future of multilingual education. The events of 2020 have initiated a paradigm shift in teaching and learning, encouraging us to visualize teaching in times of change. We are accepting proposals that address how educators of multilingual learners visualize the new trends in second language acquisition and teaching. ITBE is looking for proposals on a plethora of topics and content areas that address issues all across the field. We invite proposals related to all aspects of ESL/EAP/IEP/CALL/EFL, best practices for instruction, materials development, program administration, teacher training, research, technology, SEL (social emotional learning), and professional development as well as implications for equity and advocacy in language education.
