What Is the History of the International Conference on Immersion and Dual Language Education?

For more than 30 years, the International Conference on Immersion and Dual Language Education (ICIDLE) has been the premier gathering for educators, researchers, and school leaders advancing bilingual and multilingual education. Join nearly 1,000 educators from across the U.S. and around the world as ICIDLE celebrates its 10th conference and begins an exciting new annual tradition.

Founded by the Center for Advanced Research on Language Acquisition (CARLA), the conference is now hosted by the Dual Language & Multilingual Alliance, presented by Avant – with the 10th conference set for March 16–19, 2027, in Reston, Virginia.

Where it began

The Center for Advanced Research on Language Acquisition (CARLA) launched in 1993 as one of the U.S. Department of Education’s Title VI Language Resource Centers. Its charge was to strengthen the country’s ability to teach and learn languages, and supporting immersion and dual language education was a priority from day one through research, professional development, and a conference built for the people doing the work.

The first conference met in 1995 at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. About 250 educators attended.

The goal was easy to state and hard to do: connect a field that too often works in silos. Researchers and practitioners. U.S. and international colleagues. Program leaders across PreK–20 serving language majority, language minority, and Indigenous learners. What united them was one purpose: strong, content-based language programs that build academic achievement, bilingualism, and biliteracy for every learner.

How the conference grew

CARLA hosted the event roughly once every four years — 2004, 2008, and 2012 — adding school visits and pre-conference workshops as interest climbed. To meet demand, CARLA partnered with state hosts so the conference could run every two years and reach educators on both coasts. Utah hosted in 2014. North Carolina followed in 2019.

By 2016, attendance had reached a new scale. Nearly 1,000 people came to the Minneapolis conference from 39 states, Washington D.C., and 20 countries. The 2019 conference in Charlotte drew a similar crowd.

Then the model shifted. Changes in U.S. Department of Education funding and staffing led CARLA to step back from the biennial cycle.

A new host in Utah

In 2020, the University of Utah’s Second Language Teaching and Research Center (L2TReC) stepped in to keep the conference going. It sponsored two more, both at the Grand America Hotel in Salt Lake City.

The 8th conference (March 3–6, 2022) carried the theme “Embracing Languages and Cultures for a Better World,” built around diversity of languages, collaboration, inclusivity, and equity.

The 9th conference (October 2–5, 2024) followed with “Multilingualism for All: Transforming Education One Community at a Time.”

Both drew researchers and practitioners from the U.S. and abroad, and both kept the format that had come to define the event: pre-conference school visits and workshops, plenaries and symposia with field leaders, and a wide range of sessions across languages, program models, and grade levels.

What’s next

The conference is entering a new era. In honor of its founding mission – and the work of CARLA and L2TReC in building it – the Dual Language & Multilingual Alliance and Avant are carrying it forward. They are joined by two regional partners: the Southern Atlantic Language Collaborative (SALC) and the Virginia Dual Language Educators Network (VADLEN).

The 10th International Conference on Immersion and Dual Language Education takes place March 16–19, 2027, at the JW Marriott Reston Station in Reston, Virginia. Starting that year, it becomes an annual event.

Getting Here

✈️ Airports

The hotel is served by two major airports, with a third option for international travelers with connections through Baltimore.

Airport	Code	Distance to Hotel	Best For
Washington Dulles International	IAD	~7.5 miles / ~10 min by car	International arrivals; direct Metro access
Ronald Reagan Washington National	DCA	~22 miles / ~32 min by car	Domestic travelers from the East Coast
Baltimore/Washington International	BWI	~45 miles	Secondary option

Most international attendees will arrive at Dulles (IAD), which is the closest airport and the most convenient.

---

🚇 Metro (Silver Line) — Recommended

The hotel is directly connected to the Wiehle-Reston East station on WMATA’s Silver Line. The Metro is a clean, easy, and affordable way to get from either airport to the hotel.

From Dulles (IAD): Take the Silver Line directly from the Washington Dulles International Airport Metrorail Station to Wiehle-Reston East — approximately 12 minutes, departing every 15 minutes. Fares are $2–$4 depending on time of day. Exit the station and the JW Marriott is steps away.

From Reagan National (DCA): Take the Blue Line from Reagan National to Rosslyn, then transfer to the Silver Line toward Wiehle-Reston East. Total travel time is approximately 53 minutes. Fare is around $3.

Tips for Metro travelers:

• Purchase or load a SmarTrip card at any Metro station — it’s cheaper than paying cash and required for the best fares.
• Download the WMATA app for real-time schedules and trip planning.
• Metro runs from approximately 5 AM to midnight on weekdays and Sundays. Check wmata.com for current schedules and any service advisories.

---

🚕 Taxi & Rideshare (Uber/Lyft)

Both Uber and Lyft operate at all three major airports. Taxi stands are available at the arrivals level of each terminal.

From	Estimated Cost	Estimated Drive Time
Dulles (IAD)	$22–$30	8–12 minutes
Reagan National (DCA)	$55–$75	30–45 minutes (traffic-dependent)

Prices are estimates and vary by time of day and demand. Surge pricing during peak arrival times (conference opening day) is common — the Metro is a reliable alternative.

Pre-scheduling tip: Both Uber and Lyft allow you to schedule a ride in advance through their apps, which is useful for early-morning or late-night airport departures.

---

🚗 Driving & Parking

The hotel offers valet parking (fee applies). Self-parking is also available in the Reston Station garage. We have secured discounted parking rates for all attendees. Rates will be confirmed and posted here as we get closer to the event. If you are renting a car, the hotel is easily accessible from the Dulles Toll Road (Route 267).

Explore the Region

Conference dates are March 16–19. The DC region in mid-March is one of the most exciting times of year to visit! Consider arriving early or staying a few extra days.

🌸 National Cherry Blossom Festival

The National Cherry Blossom Festival runs March 20 – April 11, 2027 — beginning just one day after the conference closes. The festival commemorates the 1912 gift of 3,000 cherry blossom trees from Tokyo and features signature events including a parade, kite festival, live performances, and the Tidal Basin Welcome Area.

Why Present

Presenters help define the field’s agenda. 

Strong sessions will help participants understand a challenge, examine evidence, learn a strategy, question assumptions, or apply a model in their own context. Whether your work is classroom-based, research-driven, community-centered, or systems-focused, your session should give participants something they can think with and act on.

---

Fresh Take Session Proposal Types 

The sessions at the International Conference on Immersion and Dual Language (ImDL) Education will be focused on sharing content to engage participants in discussing new ideas, brainstorming solutions, and solving problems. They’re called Fresh Take sessions because they move away from traditional “Sit & Get” presentations to opportunities where everyone in the room learns together.

Please choose the type of Fresh Take session that best fits your topic and timeframe. Your proposal will include a description of your content and a plan for how you will engage participants, such as sample discussion questions or interaction protocols, as well as outcomes.

50 minutes:

• Ignite Sessions 

Sharing innovative practices, applied research, or transferable ideas and examples

• Deep Dives

Exploring a case study, research, or best practice via in-depth discussion or modeling

• Peer Connections

Facilitating conversations around shared challenges amongst job-alike peers

30 minutes:

• Brain Bursts

Troubleshooting a problem of practice through collaborative analysis

• Vision Sparks

Imagining a bold future with “What if…” scenarios that challenge current assumptions

---

What Makes a Proposal Stand Out

A strong proposal does not simply describe a program or project. It shows what others can learn from it.

As you prepare your submission, make sure your proposal answers:

• What challenge, question, or opportunity are you addressing?
• How does your session connect to the conference theme or strands?
• What will participants learn, examine, or be able to do?
• What evidence, experience, or examples will you share?
• Why does this topic matter now?

What matters most is that participants leave with insight they can use, and discussions are sparked!

Workshops

Workshops are NOT included in conference registration. Separate registration required! 

Capacity is limited, so register early!

Defining the What, Designing the How: Writing en dos idiomas Writing connects language, literacy, and content while amplifying dual language learners’ identity and voice. We will explore several national rubrics to define what students need to achieve, followed by actionable strategies to design how to support them in becoming confident, proficient bilingual writers. Examples in multiple languages	Growing Educator Capacity with the DLI Teacher Assessment Rubrics from the University of Minnesota This interactive workshop introduces the Dual Language and Immersion Teacher Assessment Rubrics from the University of Minnesota and aligned resources. Through hands-on exploration, participants will learn to observe, assess, and coach Immersion and Dual Language (ImDL) instruction with precision for fostering teacher growth, reflection, and practice. Examples in multiple languages
Designing Sustainable Systems for High-Quality ImDL Programs  How can leaders design intentional systems and supports to sustain high-quality Immersion and Dual Language (ImDL) programs for all community learners? Designed for district leaders, school administrators, and program coordinators, this workshop focuses on building sustainable, long-term program infrastructure.  Examples in multiple languages	Examining Exemplary Programs to Strengthen Your Own This workshop highlights findings from a landscape study of Immersion and Dual Language (ImDL) programs, emphasizing equity and access, program models, outcomes, and conditions for quality and sustainability. Participants will explore practices that can strengthen, expand, or launch responsive ImDL programs.
Student-Centered Leadership: Driving Innovation in ImDL  How can leaders drive innovative, research-based Immersion and Dual Language (ImDL) practices with students at the center? Explore shared leadership, evidence-based innovation, and aligned systems while gaining actionable tools to strengthen collaboration, student pathways, outcomes, and program quality in this lab-based workshop.	Which Comes First: Language or Content? Strategies to Integrate the Two This workshop explores strategies to help Immersion and Dual Language (ImDL) teachers ensure language is a focus in every content lesson. Participants will become familiar with linguistic forms, features, and functions and use new learning to revise/create a unit of instruction from their own curriculum.
How to Avoid English Language Take-over and Promote Bilingual Proficiency  Struggling with “English take-over” in your classroom? In this workshop, participants will use powerful learning strategies to reflect on language status, while considering practical ways to establish a program and classroom culture that privileges the partner language and promotes high levels of bilingual proficiency. They will also explore resources developed by former immersion and dual language (ImDL) educators who encouraged students to use their full linguistic repertoire while stopping “English take-over” in its tracks.	Using Community Cultural Wealth to Grow Your Own Teacher Preparation Pipeline  This workshop explores the Responsive Opportunities for Personalized Educator Systems and Supports (ROPESS), a grow-your-own teacher program. ROPESS is built on Yosso’s Community Cultural Wealth and supports multilingual paraprofessionals and immigrant community members to become licensed teachers. ROPESS offers support services to prospective teachers who work as paraprofessionals or hold education degrees from outside the United States, including adult English courses, academic language of education preparation, state licensing exam preparation, and financial support alongside evidence-based approaches to coaching and mentoring.
Navigating Tensions Between Translanguaging and Separation of Languages in ImDL Programs When and why should immersion and dual language (ImDL) teachers maintain separation of languages, and when and why should they engage in translanguaging? Guided by relevant research and real-life examples from classroom practice, we will explore this question together, drawing on key ideas from our book Dual Language Tandem Teaching: Coordinating Instruction across Languages through Cross-Linguistic Pedagogies.	Showcase of Thriving Less Common ImDL Programs Explore Immersion and Dual Language (ImDL) programs featuring less commonly taught, rarely taught, and Indigenous languages in community-based contexts. This session will showcase innovative models, promising practices, and lessons learned from implementing and sustaining unique ImDL programs. Participants will identify strategies to advocate for, plan, implement and sustain thriving ImDL programs in their own communities, while connecting with peers to share ideas, address challenges, and engage in solution-seeking.
Advocating for & Implementing ImDL Programs in LCTLs & Low Frequency Languages From convincing key stakeholders to finding certified and qualified teachers to design, plan and implement in LCTL and Low Frequency languages requires significant perseverance, commitment and out of the box thinking.  In this workshop, participants will explore strategies and approaches to overcoming the challenges of advocacy and buy-in, curriculum materials and resources, assessments, and teacher recruitment and development in languages not supported by the majority culture and markets.  Sharing of challenges and solutions by participants will play a key role.	Oracy in the ImDL Classroom Oracy is foundational to literacy development and a critical component of developing bilingual and biliterate skills. Participants will learn how to motivate students to use social and academic registers in their new language, as well as empower students to use their voice for their own self-agency. Dr. Grimalt will share K – 5th grade classroom-ready routines for embedding oracy development into daily instruction and a clearer framework for understanding how spoken language serves as the foundation for biliteracy.
