19th Annual Symposium
September 7-9, 2023
The 19th Annual LESLLA Symposium, “Bridging the gap between research and practice with LESLLA learners: challenges and opportunities”, was held in person at the University of Barcelona, Spain on September 7-8, 2023. Virtual sessions were also be offered on Saturday September 9, 2023. Participants enjoyed two days of site visits, sessions, and workshops focused on teaching practice and research in the LESLLA context. As in 2022, the symposium was hybrid.
We look back to an inspiring conference. We thank everyone who attended and contributed to it, both live and online. And off course, we are very grateful Marilisa Birello and her team from the ELBEC research group of the Autonomous University of Barcelona for organising and hosting our 19th Symposium!
