JALT2007: The Japan Association for Language Teaching 33rd International Conference - "Challenging Assumptions: Looking In, Looking Out"

Speaker: Plenary Speakers include: Amy Tsui, John M. Morris, Ronald Carter, and Paul Nation
Time: 9:00 AM - 7:00 PM (Thu., November 22nd, 2007)
Fee (JALT members): TBA
Fee (One-Day members): TBA
Prefecture: Tokyo
City: Tokyo
Venue: National Olympics Memorial Youth Center, Tokyo
Description: In the heart of lively Tokyo, Japan, JALT is holding its 33rd International Conference this year. This event gives us an optimal opportunity to take another look at where we started and where we are going in language practice and research. Our field is relatively young yet it has been very productive in the last 30 years, as we have seen constant shifts in our understanding of how our students are learning their second/foreign language(s). In a nutshell, theories of second language acquisition and language pedagogy have developed to view language learning not as an individual, but more as a social phenomenon. This shift has enabled us to understand language learning more comprehensively, but at the same time our field today has become diverse and fragmented.
