The CLTA Conference is California’s major opportunity
for world language teachers to learn new techniques and activities,
to meet and share with colleagues across the state, to network, to find out
what is going on in California and to see new materials (in the Exhibit Hall)
and attend exhibitor sessions, where they demonstrate some of the materials
they sell. It’s an exciting, motivating, and meaningful experience and you are
part of that experience. Thank you again for sharing your expertise and
knowledge with your colleagues across the state.
