The Alberta Teachers of English as a Second Language (ATESL) is a professional organization that promotes the highest standards
of teaching and English language program provision for all learners in Alberta whose first language is other than English.
Welcome to the 2013 ATESL conference in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. With more than 75 presenters and over 400 attendees, this year promises to be the most exciting conference ever.
This year’s theme is “transitions:” how change affects where we teach, where we work and the community around us. How do you deal with change? What is change? And what are the best ways to implement change?
Our keynote speakers are: Will Ferguson, Tracey Derwing and Amanda Lindhout all masters of change.
The conference will take place at SAIT Polytechnic in Calgary, just a short hop off the C-Train line from downtown Calgary (for more information on accommodations, please go to the registration page).
