: Le texte français suit. Following the incredible success of our inaugural program, LLI is BACK for its second run, led once again by the incomparable Annette Demers. The program will kick off on January 19, 2026 with our first virtual meet up. Lessons will be released every two weeks, with regular recap virtual meet ups. The LLI then wraps up in Moncton, with an in-person workshop and the pre-conference session. Optional courses will return after the CALL/ACBD conference.
