Meeting Description:

The Conference provides an excellent opportunity for participants to exchange
ideas and experience with regard to research, practice and policies on reading
and writing, internationally and with particular reference to the Asian
regions.

The Association for Reading and Writing in Asia (ARWA) was founded in February
2016, based on a series of meetings led by Professor Akira UNO and others in
Asia (e.g., Professors Jeung-Ryeul CHO, Kevin CHUNG, Li-Yu HUNG, and Taeko
WYDELL) since 2013. We are dedicated to understanding reading and writing of
scripts and languages in Asia, a particularly eclectic region of the world
with regard to literacy learning. We welcome anyone with research interests in
expert, developing, or disabilities in literacy to join ARWA. Our members have
diverse backgrounds but share a common dedication to understanding reading and
writing across scripts, languages, and cultures. Last year we had the first
ARWA conference in Hong Kong (hosted by Professor Kevin Chung, at the
Education University of Hong Kong) celebrating the official launch of the
association with approximately 100 attendees worldwide. The second ARWA
meeting will be held at University of Tsukuba on 22-23 February 2018.

The second ARWA Conference will provide an excellent opportunity for
participants to exchange ideas and experience with regard to:

- Reviewing findings from recent and leading policy, practice and research on
reading and writing
- Discussing current issues, concerns and prospects concerning policy making,
practice, research and development, internationally and with particular
reference to the Asian regions
- Identifying research and development priorities in reading and writing from
the perspective of different countries, institutions and education agencies
- Exploring possibilities for collaborative activities

The two-day Conference will feature the following activities:
