Meeting Description:

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, as its
goal, this conference, taking the recent changes in foreign language education
in Japan and other countries into consideration and asking: Learning FLs: Is
the longer really the better? aims at presenting 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 meant to be
a place where local researchers and teachers can present their work,
approaches and results to a world-wide audience, in presence 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 FL
teaching research originating from and coming to Matsuyama/West Japan” as well
as “Preparing for the Olympics? Let’s learn Foreign Languages!” (2016) and
„From active learning to optimizing in new FL teaching and learning”(2017).
This year's theme is “Learning FLs: Is the longer really the better?” 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
