The 2026 MATSOL Conference brings together educators of English Learners from across the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. In 2026, MATSOL is offering a hybrid conference format: All presentations will be made in-person and selected presentations will be streamed live for virtual viewing. . Presenters must submit proposals for in-person presentations and may be invited to present in one of the live-stream rooms. 

2026 MATSOL Conference

Wednesday-Friday, May 27-29, 2026

Framingham Sheraton Hotel & Conference Center, Framingham MA USA

 

The MATSOL conference audience will include teachers, administrators, and other educators in:

• PK-12 schools (public, charter, independent)
• Pre-service & in-service teacher education
•  

MATSOL encourages engaging, interactive presentations that make the theory to practice connection. Successful proposals include practical classroom activities informed by current research and pedagogy, demonstrations of successful instructional practices, examinations of current issues in education, and research that informs educators in the Massachusetts context. Presentations should engage the audience through hands-on or interactive activities when possible. 

In alignment with our mission to promote equity and excellence for English learners, MATSOL encourages submission of proposals that demonstrate an asset-based approach to the education of multilingual learners and show a strong commitment to racial justice, diversity, equity, and inclusion. To reflect this goal, there is a section in the proposal to explain how the presentation will address racial justice and/or culturally responsive teaching.
