CercleS – the European Confederation of Language Centres in Higher Education – is pleased to invite you to the XVIII CercleS International Conference 2024, “Multilingualism & the Anglosphere” between 12-14 September 2024. The event will be hosted by AULC at Durham University.

We are pleased to announce that registration is now open for the CercleS 2024 conference. We are presently reviewing abstracts and hope to notify authors by mid April, with a draft final programme available from late April 2024.

The CercleS conference is an excellent opportunity for those involved in languages education to come together every two years and to share ongoing activities, and to discuss ongoing challenges and opportunities, at an international level.

Glasgow

This year's Scottish Association for Language Teaching (SALT) conference will take place entirely in person on 2 November at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow.

We are delighted to let you know that the proposals form for this year's conference is now open!

We invite teachers and practitioners from all backgrounds to submit workshop proposals for the conference. This year's event will have a focus of the things we are all doing to put languages back on the map in our settings. We would love to hear from anyone - primary, secondary or further/higher education - who is developing strategies to help languages thrive where they are. Workshops can last either 50 minutes or 25 minutes and can be as simple as sharing a few ideas with colleagues about what works for you.

Please submit your workshop proposal by Friday 6 September 2024.

If you have any questions about the conference, or if you would like to know more about running a session before filling in the form, please get in touch with the SALT Chair, Andrew McCulloch, at andrewmccullochsalt@gmail.com.
