Call for Proposals

The Northeast Association for Language Learning Technology (NEALLT) will hold its annual conference online on Saturday, April 5.

This year’s theme is: Shaping the Future of Language Education: Technology, Advocacy, Equity

Even as advances in technology disrupt longstanding language-teaching paradigms, they also offer some of the most powerful tools for empowering student learning, advocating for language programs, and enabling learners to succeed in ways tailored to their unique needs. At NEALLT 2025, we welcome papers that showcase innovative applications of technology inside and outside the language classroom. We particularly encourage contributions that explore the connections between

  • Emerging technologies and language program advocacy
  • Social justice and mental health
  • Individualized learning 
  • Future-focused curriculum development 
  • Equity in access to language learning resources

NEALLT welcomes individual and collaborative presentations from all languages and all teaching levels. We welcome a variety of perspectives and encourage presentations that report on empirical studies, classroom projects and research, or work in progress. Graduate students and future teachers are welcome to submit proposals. Presentations will be 20 minutes with 10 minutes Q&A. Panel discussions will be 45 minutes.

Proposal submission deadline: March 11th.  Proposals will be considered on a rolling basis. We encourage early submissions!
