2025 Conference Call for Proposals
The South Asian Language Teachers Association (SALTA) is pleased to announce its two-day online international conference, which will be held on Friday and Saturday, May 9th-10th 2025.
This year’s conference theme is “Engaging Students Through Pedagogical Innovations in South Asian Language Learning.” Educators continually strive to discover innovative ways to inspire and engage our students. This year’s theme provides an exciting opportunity to share our creative methods and learn from one another’s experiences. While we are especially interested in groundbreaking action research, and teaching approaches in technology, literature, games, and realia, the possibilities are endless!
