Dear FIPLV members,
The Executive of the New Zealand Association of Language Teachers (NZALT) is pleased to let all their members and FIPLV members know that the conference website (https://nzalt2024.org/) has been launched with first information about NZALT’s next biennial conference and FIPLV World Congress that will be held in Auckland, July 6 – 9, 2024.
2024 will mark 50 years since NZALT began as an Association. The conference will celebrate this important milestone in partnership with the Fédération Internationale des Professeurs de Langues Vivantes/International Federation of Language Teachers Associations (FIPLV) as NZALT concurrently hosts the FIPLV World Congress. The Australian Federation of Modern Language Teachers Associations (AFMLTA) is taking part in the planning and will be there to celebrate with NZALT and FIPLV. This will be the locally-hosted conference that NZALT members have come to know and love over the years as well as a truly international event. We very much look forward to seeing you there!
NZALT plans to make available a small number of contestable travel awards for FIPLV members living outside of New Zealand/Australia who wish to participate in and who plan to present a paper at the conference. The exact amount and processes/criteria for applying for these will be determined soon.
