Meeting Description:

11th FL Teaching and Research Mini-Conference in Matsuyama
Theme: Preparing for the Olympics? Let’s learn Foreign Languages!
Dates: Sat & Sun,  17 - 18 September, 2016.
Venue: Ehime University, Aidai Muse 3F Room 343

In this age of internationalization and globalization it is important to use
all means and media to bring quality research and innovative practices not
only to big urban centers, such as Tokyo, Berlin, Peking or New York, but also
to smaller cities, such as Matsuyama in the southwest of Japan, with their,
despite the ubiquitous internet, still limited opportunities. 

Thus, the goal of this conference, taking the up-coming Olympics in Tokyo as a
global event into conderation, is to present up-to-date international quality
research and learning and teaching methods and practices to the local and
regional foreign language researchers and teachers. It is also means to be a
place where local researchers and teachers can present their work, approaches
and results to a world-wide audience, in person or over the internet.

This exchange is crucial in the field of foreign language learning and
teaching, as many components of it are simultaneously in a constant flux and
keeping up-to-date is crucial: the learners and teachers, the target
language(s), the practices employed to implement these, and the research, the
methods and their results as they have to be applied. 

In order to keep the information available as open as possible, the conference
invites all FL learning and teaching related presentations, but every year a
topic is proposed. Topics in the recent years included ''Into the Next Decade
with (2nd) FL Teaching'' (2009) ''The initial phase'' (2010) ''Foreign
Language Learning and Teaching Places: Schools, Universities and Others''
(2011) and (2015) “Into the next decade:The next 10 years of FLteaching
research originating from and coming to Matsuyama/West Japan”. This year's
theme is “Preparing for the Olympics? Let’s learn Foreign Languages!”

Ehime University, where the organizer teaches, makes the presentations and/or
their write-ups available to the public on the organizers homepage. The
presentations from recent years can be consulted by pasting the following link
