Why attend ICLL?
Bringing People Together
The Congress brings together professionals from across the language learning world. This diverse community creates space for collaboration, shared expertise, and innovative approaches to language learning.
Building Community
A dynamic environment for language professionals to connect, collaborate, and grow through workshops, plenary sessions, and meaningful conversations centered around language learning and acquisition.
Professional Development
The landscape of language learning in mission contexts is complex and ever-changing. This gathering creates space to explore trends, innovative tools, and strategies that support effective language learning and cross-cultural communication.
“For the first time ever, I have had a chance to be around others who are involved in the same thing I am - helping others learn a language to be better equipped. It’s given me affirmation and encouragement.”
“I gained a fuller understanding of the wealth of resources within the missionary language learning community. I have a better idea of where to send coaches who need more ideas and resources.”
