Thank You for a Great Convention!The 2020 ITBE Convention was held on February 28-29, 2020, in Lisle, Illinois.We received a lot of good feedback from attendees about our four plenary speakers: Kory Stamper from Cambridge Dictionaries presented on "English and How it Got This Way: A Quick History." Alan Seaman from Wheaton College presented on "Visual Literacy and Second Language Fluency: The Visual Arts and English Language Teaching." Kim Potowski from the University of Illinois at Chicago presented on "No Child Left Monolingual: The Benefits of Dual Language Education." Kara Morgan-Short from the University of Illinois at Chicago presented on "It's Electric!: What We Know About Language Learning from Brain Research."
