The AFTV is thrilled to announce the return of our conference in 2025 at The University of Melbourne with the support of the French
program and the School of Languages and Linguistics! Save the date for Thursday 27 and Friday 28 November, as we dive into this year's theme: #FrenchForward:
Teaching & Learning French in a Changing World.
We invite all passionate educators to submit their proposals for this year's conference. If you have innovative ideas, research, or strategies related to the theme, we encourage you to share them with us! The deadline for submissions is Friday 16 May 2025, and successful presenters will be notified by mid-June.
The 2025 conference will explore key questions around the evolving landscape of French language education. We are looking for presentations that address, but are not limited to, the following areas:
We welcome submissions of up to 300 words in either French or English for presentations. We are also open to themed panels that align with the conference theme. Please email your submission to conference@aftv.vic.edu.au or fill in this form no later than 5.00pm, Wednesday 16 May 2025.
As a token of appreciation, selected presenters will receive free registration for the event. Please refrain from registering once registration opens in early May.

We are looking forward to hearing your ideas and seeing you at the conference in November!
