Unlike previous year’s mini-conferences, which just featured presentations about teaching children, this year’s conference will cover a broader range of targeted age groups. In addition to presentations, there will also be publisher displays where you can check out the latest in textbooks for young learners through adult. There will be two presentation tracks at this year’s conference: one focusing on children and the other focusing on adults/older learners.
