2025 SESSION PROPOSAL

 

2025 Northeast Conference

February 27 – March 1, 2025

New York Hilton Midtown

1335 Avenue of the Americas

New York, New York

The 2025 Northeast Conference theme is Empowering Language Learners for Global Change. Building on what we have learned over 71 years of the Northeast Conference, how are we as educators helping learners connect with others to share joy and work towards positive change?  As educators, we help learners connect within and across cultures and communities. How are we designing learning opportunities and giving our students the tools (language and knowledge) that elevate them as our next generation of global citizens, as changemakers?  This conference theme is designed to keep us looking forward, with student learning and empowerment at the center of all we do, for a more positive and interconnected world.

For the 2025 Conference, we welcome session proposals that represent the answers to these questions:

  • How can we make our lesson tasks more relevant, authentic, and real world for our learners?
  • How do we curate resources and design learning opportunities to give students access to the language and knowledge they need to make positive change in our world?
  • How do we promote students’ mindset of global citizenship while building their proficiency and interculturality?
  • What can we do to build connections within our classrooms?  What can we do to build connections beyond our classrooms, in our local and global communities?
  • How can we differentiate instruction so every student has the opportunity for authentic, relevant, and meaningful learning that can make an impact in the real world?
