During four days leading members of the Brazilian ELT community and our international colleagues will come together to create a vision of the future in our field. The theme of the 18th BRAZ-TESOL International Conference is "Building Bridges, Inspiring Learning" and it will allow ELT professionals from within Brazil and guests from abroad to reflect on the importance of connecting their different areas of expertise to further the practice of language teaching and better equip professionals for the 21st century demands. The conference will foster four days of intense learning exchanges between participants and rich networking possibilities for all present at the event.
