Our PD & Events

Conferences, Symposia & Colloquia

Since 1970, annual conferences or colloquiums have been held to bring together members from the Canadian Association of Language Teachers (CASLT). Each year, many second language teachers have a need to meet in a forum in which they may exchange pertinent ideas and become acquainted with research in the field. These conferences have given Canadian second language teachers the opportunity to hear leading experts, to become knowledgeable of trends, programs research, etc., carried out especially in our own country. The contacts among teachers have been particularly enriching. Through their mutual sharing, teachers have become more aware of situations and problems in other provinces, have been able to make contacts for organizing student exchanges, and have experienced a greater solidarity and commitment to the cause of Canadian unity. The executive committees have been largely composed of people from the host provinces.

Information about upcoming conferences will be posted here.
