One type of communication sessions in the conferences is the one that will be shown in the 2011 conference of the American Association for Applied Linguistics (AAAL) that will be held in March 26-29 in Chicago, Illinois. The conference will serve as a meeting place for applied linguists to generate ideas, cross disciplinary boundaries, and disseminate research about issues and concerns in language policy, second language acquisition, language pedagogy and assessment, discourse analysis, and other areas of applied linguistics. Nationally and internationally, the AAAL conference has a reputation as a comprehensive and stimulating conference including in-depth colloquia and paper sessions, topical and thought-provoking plenary presentations, excellent book exhibits, and plentiful opportunities for networking. Another one is the TESOL Annual Convention and Exhibit that took place in Boston in March 2010. They discussed among other the following subjects: Content Lesson Planning with the Internet – the lesson plan introduces a new way of looking at planning lessons.
