The American Cultural Association (ACA) is pleased to announce the 31st All-ALC Conference, the largest gathering of English-language educators in Morocco. As the not-for-profit, bi-national parent organization of the American Language Centers (ALC) in Morocco, the ACA is dedicated to promoting English as a foreign language education. 

The 31st All-ALC Conference provides an opportunity for English teachers, teacher trainers, EdTech developers and curriculum designers from Morocco and beyond to come together, learn from one another, and explore new ideas in the field of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) education.

This Year’s Theme

Through the sharing of ideas, experiences, and best practices, we seek to inspire new approaches to teaching and learning that spark our creativity and renew our sense of motivation in teaching and learning. Participants at the 31st All-ALC Conference will return to their classrooms with renewed passion, practical strategies, and a deeper sense of purpose in shaping the future of English language education, empowered to create more engaging, inclusive, and transformative language learning experiences across Morocco and beyond.

We welcome proposals on these and other EFL/ESL topics:

• Culture and Language Learning
• Bringing the World Into the Classroom
• Real World Applications of English
• Action Research in the classroom

Proposal Submission

We invite proposals for sessions of the following formats:

• Lightning Talks: A 3-minute talk within a 45-minute session in which 8-10 speakers pitch an idea/plant a seed/share food for thought to spark new conversations and collaborations (proposals should be for a single 3-minute talk).
• Presentations: 30-minute sessions relating to theory and practice
• Classroom Activity Shares: 30-minute sessions in which a classroom activity is demonstrated to a small group of attendees
• Workshops: 45-minute interactive sessions with audience participation
