ACTA International Conference
The ACTA conference, hosted by ATESOL NSW, will bring together national and international educators, researchers, and leaders to explore emerging challenges and opportunities in the TESOL field in early childhood education, schools, universities, and industry. Areas will focus on developments in policy, pedagogy and research in:
- national and international state of English as an additional language or dialect education, leadership and teacher education
- multilingual learner populations – child and adult Indigenous, immigrant, refugee, transnational and foreign English language learners
- English as a second language and literacy learning in education, including in English medium instructional and bilingual/multilingual settings.
An exciting program of guest speakers, featured symposia and events has been developed. Full details have been published at Our Conference – Australian Council of TESOL Associations
