British Columbia Association of Teachers of Modern Languages (BCATML) and The Canadian Association of Second Language Teachers (CASLT) have joined forces to host Celebrating Languages Without Borders (CLWB) 2020. Given the ongoing travel restrictions and social distancing measures due to the COVID-19 pandemic, CASLT and the BCATML have decided to shift the CLWB 2020 conference to a virtual event instead. Despite this adjustment, we fully intend to deliver a conference brimming with high quality professional learning. We are working towards delivering more than 100 sessions on current L2 research and innovative, exemplary classroom practices. With this virtual conference, we will still be able to provide all attendees with the opportunity to meet, connect, and share high-impact strategies and experiences with colleagues from around the world without geographic barriers.
