Networking Day & Annual General Meeting
Each fall, CASLT holds its annual general meeting (AGM) followed by a networking day.
The networking day is a great opportunity to share information and ideas among partners and interested second language education stakeholders.
The day features updates on CASLT initiatives and priorities, presentations by invited guests, and workshops focused on a particular issue or trend affecting second language educators in Canada.
We are pleased to be partnering with the Education and Languages (EducLang) research group of the Faculty of Education (University of Ottawa) and the Ontario Modern Languages Teachers’ Association (OMLTA) to bring you exciting three professional development and networking events in one location.
The AGM and networking day will be held in conjunction with the 2019 EducLang Symposium which will run from September 26 to 28. Furthermore, OMLTA will be holding its fall conference on September 28.
