Congratulations, Colleagues! 

You have made it through a very challenging school year, and now you deserve some time to relax.  However, we all know that world language teachers’ minds are never far from their classrooms; we constantly plan for the future. For that reason, ICTFL is pleased to announce its Fall Conference ’21 schedule.  To ensure safety for all, to better adapt to budgetary constraints of most schools, and to allow for a wider audience, the conference will be virtual again this year. 

As usual, there will be a wide variety of sessions from which to choose, recorded sessions will be accessible to registrants afterwards, both an Awards program and Meeting of the Members will occur. Registrants will have the opportunity to earn at least 12 PDs.  And best of all, the registration fee remains low. Both the master list of sessions and the registration form will be posted at http://www.ictfl.org/conferences.html​.

​As language educators in this brave new world, we look forward to the prospects of a better future!
