This one-and-a-half-day conference is designed to promote professional development, networking, and collaboration among world language educators. While secondary and higher education teachers share the goal of preparing students for multilingual success, they rarely have opportunities to engage with one another in a shared professional space. Honing Our Craft 2026 fills this gap by providing a forum in which participants can:
Share strengths and innovative teaching practices.
Explore approaches that integrate world language and TESOL perspectives.
Update their teaching repertoires with research-informed strategies.
Explore ways to integrate professional opportunities into the classroom.
Build sustainable connections across educational levels.
