and that includes teachers like you! ELLSA conferences have welcomed researchers, authors, and other experts in language learning and multilingual learning as keynote speakers, but the majority of workshop sessions are facilitated by teacher practitioners from international schools around the region. Resultantly, ELLSA conferences are valuable opportunities to share current, cutting edge experiences and practices within our schools that are fostering the learning of our multilingual students right now.
