Women in Language 2020
Join us for Women in Language, an online event created to champion, celebrate and amplify the voices of women in language learning.
Passionate about languages?
We are too, and that's why we're back hosting our third Women in Language conference.
We do too.
Our current global situation has put more distance between us than before, and Women in Language is an event where you can connect, find inspiration, and learn.
Now more than ever, it's important for more voices to be heard.
That's why we do things a little differently, introducing...
Meet a collaborative and supportive team of language learners without leaving the comfort of your couch at home. Enjoy four action-packed days of panels, language practice sessions, and talks from an inspiring line-up of expert speakers with diverse backgrounds: polyglots, industry veterans, full-time world travelers, teaching experts, academic professors, and innovators.
Not to mention--every speaker and panelist at this event is female or non-binary. Heck yes!
This year, we're putting 30+ female and non-binary speakers in the spotlight.
Women In Language is a unique online event designed to champion, celebrate, and amplify the lesser heard voices in language learning.
The event this year is happening Thursday 17th September - Sunday 20th September 2020.
Oh, and you’re gonna love it.
Get started now!
- All the Feels - inspirational case studies and languages stories from language learners and researchers
- Living and Working - tips and shared experiences about living and working in another language
- Mastery - talks for learners of any level who want to learn effectively with winning strategies and masterful methods
- Dream Team - panels with a team of experts sharing alternative language learning strategies
