Meeting Description:

The annual JALT International Conference is the largest language education conference in Asia. Join us for four days professional development and share your research or practical expertise. 

This year's theme is: Transformation in Language Education

As language teachers and learners the idea that language education is transformative will be neither surprising nor unusual. All of us have had teachers or classes that have changed our lives. Some of us have also had language learning experiences that have been ______________. That blank space is there for you to fill-in because transformation implies change, and change in language education can be viewed in so many ways: inspiring, stimulating, rejuvenating, exhilarating, renovating, resuscitating, and this list can go on and on.

If you speak to one of the thousands who have attended a JALT conference over the last several years, you cannot help but hear stories of transformation. It is the nature of JALT conferences to be change agents. And, JALT2016 will prove to be extra special: it will not just be transformative—it will provide a platform for exploring transformation from many vantage points.

Call for Papers:

See http://jalt.org/conference/call-proposals for details

JALT promotes excellence in language learning, teaching, and research by providing opportunities for those involved in language education to meet, share, and collaborate. JALT, formed in 1976, is the Japan affiliate of International TESOL (Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages) and a partner of IATEFL (The International Association of Teachers of English as a Foreign Language).

JALT encourages broad participation and a wide range of viewpoints; however, time and space limitations make it impossible to accept all the proposals submitted. Major factors in the selection process include: clarity, appropriateness for the intended audience, relevance to the conference theme, quality of research and writing, and indications that the presentations will be well prepared. The selection committee also tries to achieve a balance of topics and interests.
