AIM 20th Anniversary - Summer Institute Toronto - July 3-5, 2024


We are SO excited to celebrate AIM's 20th Anniversary with you this summer!

About Summer Institute

Connect in person and share best practices with teachers from across North America and around the world who share a passion for languages and innovative teaching practices.

The Summer Institute will enable new teachers to learn about the unique techniques and strategies used in the AIM, and experienced teachers to deepen their knowledge and skills.

A wealth of topics will be covered for both new and experienced AIM teachers.

AIM is a balanced literacy approach that uses effective strategies and techniques to accelerate language acquisition. Through its multimodal design, AIM is a methodology that provides support for all learners with varying learning styles, intelligences and strengths. Embedded in the design of the methodology are many principles of Universal Design for Learning and AIM has proven to be successful at ensuring that inclusion is possible in a second language classroom!

Our AIM Summer Institute will include:

  • a Plenary on the on the first day of each workshop series;
  • prize draws at each Plenary, plus a big draw for all participants on the last Plenary;
  • a live product demonstration in each of the 2-day workshops;
  • discounts on all AIM resources for participants.
