Submit a Proposal for our Virtual Convention!

The theme for the 2021 ITBE Convention is "Re-Envisioning Multi-Lingual Education: Transforming for Tomorrow."

It will be held fully online, so you can attend from the comfort of your home! 

We will be accepting proposals for presentations through December 15. The Convention will be held on February 26 and 27. 



Share your Vision

Presenters and attendees are encouraged to expand their skill sets as they envision the future of multilingual education. The events of 2020 have initiated a paradigm shift in teaching and learning, encouraging us to visualize teaching in times of change. We are accepting proposals that address how educators of multilingual learners visualize the new trends in second language acquisition and teaching. ITBE is looking for proposals on a plethora of topics and content areas that address issues all across the field. We invite proposals related to all aspects of ESL/EAP/IEP/CALL/EFL, best practices for instruction, materials development, program administration, teacher training, and professional development in various settings and most particularly in hybrid, blended, and remote models, as well as implications for equity and advocacy in language education for a wide variety of stakeholders. Share your knowledge and expertise with our ITBE community. Below is the link to submit a proposal.  Submissions will be accepted now through December 15, 2020.
