Professional Development

What are the unique issues that language professionals who serve in the world of missions are experiencing? How can we learn from each other so that we can serve language learners more effectively?

These questions are at the heart of ICLL every year. Building on our collective experience and knowledge, we explore the latest research, trends, and tools in the field of language learning.

Interactions

ICLL provides the opportunity for those who engage in Language Coaching, Language Policy and Language Learning to connect on a number of different levels.  Our unique forums, workshops, plenary speakers and opportunities for one-on-one conversations provide the space for connection with like-minded individuals to explore trends, changes and successes in Language Acquisition.

“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 language to be better equipped. It’s given me affirmation and encouragement.”

— ICLL Alumnus

“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.”
