Scottish Association for Language Teaching Conference 2024

The Scottish Association for Language Teaching warmly welcomes you to our annual conference 2024 which will this year take place on Saturday 2nd November 2024. The event will last from 9.45am until 1.45pm. We are hosting this event at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, in partnership with Scotland’s National Centre for Languages (SCILT).

Our chosen theme for 2024 is Putting languages back on the map: celebrating approaches to help languages thrive in Scottish schools. At a time when languages are facing challenges in many settings, this conference will celebrate the schools and teachers who are fighting for languages and working hard to keep them on the national agenda.

At this year’s conference, you will have the opportunity to hear from colleagues from different sectors who are:
• delivering engaging language learning experiences in their classroom
• motivating learners through creative approaches to the curriculum
• creating opportunities for language and cultural learning 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 20 different workshops on offer, with a mixture of 50 and 25 minute. This will allow colleagues to join four different sessions across the morning.

The conference offers a range of workshops from teachers, education officers and language from all over Scotland and even beyond in some cases. There is a mixture of workshops for primary and secondary teachers of languages. We are also delighted to have our national partners, the Modern Languages team at Education Scotland and our colleagues from SCILT, represented at the conference.

We hope you can join us for what is sure to be a fantastic day of professional learning and networking!
