The workshops will be held on the afternoon of Thursday, November 2.

JALT is currently accepting proposals for these pre-conference workshops. These workshops will be highly practical, with detailed handouts so that participants can replicate the main techniques after the conference. Each speaker's session will last one hour plus 15 minutes for Q&A. Participants will be limited to 30 (to be confirmed). Internet access will be available and necessary AV equipment will be provided. Each presenter will be given a conference waiver to JALT2006.
