The Scottish Association for Language teaching is delighted to let you know that sign up for this year’s SALT conference is now open! The event will take place on Saturday 28 October at the University of Strathclyde, in partnership with Scotland's National Centre for Languages (SCILT). Participants will have the option of attending this conference in person or online. The event will last from 10am until 1.45pm.

Our chosen theme for 2023 is Learners Without Borders: Empowering and Inspiring Scotland's Language Learners. The conference aims to highlight the excellent practice taking places across different sectors in motivating our young people to develop a passion for learning a language and offering them opportunities to develop their language skills and interest both within and beyond the classroom.

We had an outstanding response to our call for proposals earlier this year and we are delighted to share our exciting programme with you. There are 24 different workshops on offer, with some sessions being offered both in person and online.
