While we hoped for a rescheduling of ELLSA 2020 in the fall 2020, the situation with COVID19 worldwide has made international travelling challenging. Therefore, ELLSA 2020 at Seoul Foreign School will be cancelled, and no ELLSA conferences have been scheduled for 2021 as of January 2021. 

We hope to host alternative forms of getting together in the meantime to ensure that ELLSA members stay connected! 
ELLSA (English Language Learning Specialists in Asia) was founded in 2013 by a group of teachers at NIST International School in Thailand with the goal of providing current and innovative professional learning for EAL (English as an Additional Language) professionals in Asia. The first ELLSA conference created a network of teachers from the region, who strive to connect, collaborate, and advocate for the teaching and learning of ELLs (English language learners).
