CONFERENCE FOCUS
This year's ELAC Conference takes us into "The Story of the Craft" -- the craft of writing, of creating, of teaching. It is the celebration of literacy and literature and the profession of teaching. We look forward to experiencing new ideas, discovering new resources, and making new contacts – or refreshing old ones. International speakers and front-line ELA teacher-presenters are keen to share their ideas about lessons, practices and assessment with us.
