SAVE THE DATE

Dear ELLSA Community,

We're thrilled to announce the confirmed dates for the next ELLSA conference March 5th-6th 2016, hosted at Bangkok Patana School, Thailand.

The theme of the conference is Managing the multilingual classroom - every teacher is a teacher of language, and as usual there will be an inspiring mix of practical, theoretical and job share/collegial workshops, as well as guest talks and collaborative activities.

If you would like to present a workshop during the conference, please stay tuned as more information about how to sign up will be sent out in the October newsletter.

​In the meantime, if you are interested in connecting with other English language specialists in your area, please contact your regional ELLSA Chapter Coordinator. See below for contact info and details of what's happening near you.

With best wishes,
