The deadline for submission has been passed.
Presentations of research-based studies on Japanese language pedagogy, Japanese linguistics, second language acquisition, as well as reports on innovative teaching will be welcome. Proposals of a wide range of topics will be considered, but those which underscore the connection to the central theme of the conference, “Toward Advanced Language Proficiency,” will be given priority. This theme could be explored from different perspectives. For instance, studies and reports based on beginning level courses or novice learners could offer implications for how learners' further development can be enhanced. Articulation across different levels of teaching is also a very relevant issue. We are looking forward to innovative perspectives and approaches in addressing this theme.
The time allocated for each paper will be 20 minutes followed by 10 minutes for question/answer sessions and equipment change. The language of presentation can be either English or Japanese. Abstract should be
a maxium of 300 words in English or 700 characters in Japanese.
