WAFLT Fall Conference call for proposals through June 30, 2011

If you are not already a member of our professional organization, the Washington Association for Language Teaching (WAFLT), I encourage you to consider joining. And take advantage of this opportunity to expand your horizons by submitting a presentation proposal. In my experience, conference attendees love to hear from other world language teachers about their personal experiences in the classrooms. (You don’t have to be an expert – just someone willing to share what you’ve learned.) Here’s a link to the Proposal form:
