Description: Dr. Hullah will report on a 1997 survey of native-speaker EFL teachers at Japanese universities. The questionnaire explored teacher job satisfaction, and how these EFL teachers perceived their role in their respective institutions. The presenter-led discussion will consider such issues as: What activities actually/ideally comprise your job? Are your skills appropriately used in your position? Does your position meet preconceptions you had of it? How much job satisfaction do you feel? Though specifically addressing tertiary education, this presentation will interest anyone working in EFL in Japan.

Description: In this workshop, the presenters will first discuss types and uses of portfolios in second language classrooms.
Previous research indicates several benefits: students can monitor and reflect on their own learning processes and
progress; they can feel more sense of achievement compared with traditional tests; and they can receive more feedback
both from their instructor and classmates by sharing each other's work in progress.
Presenters will share samples of teacher's instructions, students' portfolios, and student reactions about portfolio
creation from reading, writing, and speaking and listening classes, as well as discuss assessment procedures and
portfolio sharing activities. Participants will have a chance to consider how they can apply portfolio use and
assessment to their teaching contexts.
