The theme of Language World 2026 has been chosen by our incoming Co-Presidents, Anna Lise and Steven. They have been active members of the Association for Language Learning since its inception and are constantly enthused and heartened  by the powerful collaborations that take place between Language teachers and others, across the ALL branches, networks and hubs, in online meetings and Special Interest Groups, and in so many other ways. It is this joy of collaboration that inspires the theme for Language World 2026 - we’d love to see you there! 

Language World - ALL’s annual conference – is truly at the heart of our professional association. It is an opportunity to come together, to share, to support, to learn, to network and to collaborate with like-minded languages enthusiasts. Teaching is a profession that requires heart  - motivation, patience and dedication, and the Language World 2026 theme shines a spotlight on the importance and power of mutual support and collaboration. We are stronger together! 

The theme is deliberately broad to encourage all language educators – whatever their language or phase of teaching – to come along and join the action, so that we can grow professionally and, over time, inspire future generations to love their languages. 

 We look forward to welcoming you to Language World 2026.

Co-President Elect, ALL
