A 22^nd IATEFL-Hungary Conference The theme of the conference was INSPIRED – The Pleasure of Learning and Teaching, and the goal was to discuss how teachers can inspire themselves and learners inthe world where everything has to be entertaining, including ourselves.   The two plenary speakers, Michael Carrier and Bonnie Tsai, gave not only inspiring plenary talks, but both of them stayed for the whole weekend, participating in workshops, and were ready to answer questions from the audience at the closing event as well.   Two features of this year conference were: a strong focus on teaching English to learners with special needs and the online coverage of the event.   Our aim was to let non-participants get a flavour of the warm and lively atmosphere of IATEFL-Hungary conferences, so we shared studio interviews, roving reports, photographs, presentation materials, and reflections by participants.   With 6 plenary speakers, 48 presenters, 18 exhibitors, and over 300 participants from 19 countries, it was an event to remember.

B 37^th Annual Conference of Argentina Teachers of English Last September some six hundred delegates all over Argentina made their way to San Martin de los Andes for the annual conference.The theme of the conference was Research on Motivation and Autonomy in English Language Teaching.   Two of the plenary speakers, Davis Little and Ema Ushioda, gave plenary sessions during the three-day conference. Two other plenary sessions and four semi-plenaries were given. There were also a number of panels, workshops and shorter papers, with a hundred and twenty-five speakers in all. A star of the conference was the venue itself. San Martin de los Andes is an almost European Alpine village in appearance, popular for skiing, fishing, hunting, and adventure sports. The delegates enjoyed wonderful weather, and the academic events unfolded against a backdrop of glorious sunshine reflected off Lake Lacar, mirroring the crystal clear skies and snow-capped Andean foothills. The conference this year was indeed a huge success.
