There will be two days of poster sessions, presentations, and workshops on the conference theme (learner perspectives) from teacher-researchers from 12 of JALT's special interest groups (SIGs) and two of its chapters.
There will surely be something for you to bring back to your teaching environment! 		JALT全国語学教育学会の12の分野別研究部会及び2つの地方支部の教育・研究者による、「学習者が教室で何が行われていると思っているか」についてのプレゼンテーション、ポスター、ワークショップ満載の二日間！
必ずあなたの教室に持ち帰れるものがあることでしょう。

As you can see from the PanSIG 2010 flyer, in addition to the two plenary speakers, both highly respected Japan-based teacher-researchers, the conference offers two days of presentations and discussion sessions related to the theme of language studies from the perspective of the learner. With 12 SIGs participating: Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL), College and University Educators (CUE), Extensive Reading (ER), Framework and Language Portfolio (FLP), Global Issues in Language Education (GILE), Japanese as a Second Language (JSL), Lifelong Language Learning (LLL), Other Language Educators (OLE), Pragmatics (PRAG), Study Abroad (SA), Teacher Education (TEd), and Testing & Evaluation (TEVAL), this conference represents the largest collaboration of the Special Interest Groups (SIGs) within the Japan Association of Language Teaching (JALT). In addition, this year, the conference is co-sponsored by the Kyoto Chapter of the Japan Association of Language Teaching (JALT) with the support of the Osaka Chapter.

The LLL SIG program at the PANSIG Conference will consist of both presentations and a workshop. There are seven LLL-related presentations scheduled, which will be a new record for the LLL SIG program at PANSIG! I sincerely hope you will be able to attend and see for yourself what teacher-researchers of lifelong language learners are doing in their classrooms.
