AMTESOL 2025

All day Friday & Saturday morning
In light of our upcoming conference location in Tupelo, Mississippi - the birthplace of Elvis Presley - the AMTESOL 2024 theme invites you to share ideas, techniques, and insights that have you “All Shook Up” about the teaching of English to speakers of other languages. This year’s conference is your opportunity to share ways that can “shake up” teaching, researching, collaborating, and advocating for the English Learners across our region.
As you prepare your proposal, we encourage you to consider the following questions:
-
What ideas do you have that have changed your classroom instruction and atmosphere for your students?
-
What problem(s) have you identified that you have taken steps to address?
-
In what ways have you connected to parents or the community that impacts English Learners?
-
What new research have you discovered or done that will change the face of English Learner Instruction?
​
Types of presentations:
-
45-minute presentations
-
20-minute presentations

Presenter Information
In-person conference: Please note that AMTESOL 2024 is an IN-PERSON conference, so virtual or pre-recorded video presentations will not be accepted.
Presenter registration: All presenters of an accepted presentation must register and pay for the conference before Early Bird Registration ends. ​
​
Non-U.S. applicants: If you live outside of the USA and require a visa, please note that AMTESOL is NOT a visa-issuing entity. In our experience, the US government does not typically issue visas for small, regional conferences such as AMTESOL. Also, the timeframe from acceptance until the conference is typically too tight to receive a visa.
