Every October, WAFLT sponsors a conference featuring presentations and demonstrations by prominent state national members. Locations are chosen that best serve the needs of the entire state. Every second or third year the fall conference is a joint conference with our colleagues from Oregon in COFLT. Features of the fall conferences include:
- Publishers' exhibits of the latest language teaching aids from national and local sources
- Keynote addresses and workshops by regionally and nationally recognized leaders in language learning/teaching
- Recent state developments
- Meetings of specialized groups such as the AATG, AATF, AATSP, WATJ, frequently with guest speakers in those languages
- Displays of state poster contest winners
- A general membership meeting
The COFLT-WAFLT bi-state Fall Conference 2012 will be held in Vancouver, WA at the Hilton Hotel and Convention Center October 12-13. As usual, we will kick off the conference with a Welcome Reception on Thursday evening, October 11. Check this site frequently for updates.
