27th Annual Conference of the
AFRICAN LANGUAGE TEACHERS ASSOCIATION [ALTA]
The Conference Organizing Committee invites researchers, educators, practitioners, and program and curriculum developers to submit abstracts for individual papers and panel discussions on topics relevant to the conference theme and the following sub-themes:
Submit an abstract for one of the following presentation formats. Your abstract may be in English or an African language.
Individual paper: Individual Papers are research-based presentations discussing one paper. Papers constitute original research or practical experience and may have up to two co-presenters present on the same paper. [Time: 30 minutes; 20 minutes for presentation and 10 minutes for questions and discussion.]
Panel Presentations: Panel Presentations are research-based presentations in which multiple papers examine a single topic extensively and involve the audience in the discussion. Panelists must address an issue related to the conference's theme and/or subthemes. Typically, a panel includes 3-4 panelists, and members share time equally. Panel time will be determined depending on the number of panelists, up to 90 minutes.
Submission of Abstracts
Submit your 250-300 word abstract. Although we have passed the deadline for submission, we are still accepting abstracts on a roll-in basis. If you submit your abstract after 11/26/2023, please follow up with an email to us at the email address below.
