Call for papers

 

We are pleased to announce that the call for proposals for Language Teacher Psychology (LTP) Conference 2021 is now open.

This conference is a closing event for an FWF-funded three-year research project “The social-psychological capital of foreign language teachers”. In the project, we explored the wellbeing of foreign language teachers across the professional lifespan in different contexts. The main findings of the extended study will be presented at the event.

The LTP conference will be held at the University of Graz in Austria from 6th to 8th September, 2021. The conference will bring together educators and scholars around the world interested in strengthening the current understanding of the psychology of language teachers. The conference is unique in putting the teachers in the centre focus to understand their needs, motives, emotions, beliefs, identities, desires, and wellbeing among other aspects of their personal and professional lives.
