Welcome Messages Welcome to JALT00, Asia s biggest language teaching and materials conference! Whether you have come from down the street or from the other side of the world, we are extremely happy that you are here. We ve been meeting annually like this in Japan for years now. This could be your first JALT or your fifteenth; whatever the case, please make yourself at home! Granship is a great venue for a conference: It s big enough to host a variety of talks and presentations, but small enough to feel cozy from the minute you arrive until the time you head home. The venue offers small meeting areas, spacious rooms, friendly exhibition halls and an international food fair where you can stop and refuel. Look around, enjoy the sessions, relax in the breaks, talk to new people, and sign up for the social events. We are very proud of our rich and diverse lineup of presentations this year. Our invited speakers include five, count em, five plenary speakers, all renowned figures in the world of applied linguistics and language pedagogy. There are also five sponsored featured speakers, a guest speaker in the Technology in Teaching series, the Balsamo Asian Scholar from the Philippines and last but certainly not least hundreds of colleagues, friends, and peers giving the concurrent sessions. Because of its size, a conference like JALT requires a little pre-planning and some careful pacing. We encourage you to tailor the weekend in a way that suits your own interests and rhythms. Take a look through the conference handbook and sketch out a rough schedule for the weekend. You will be reminded of those must-see and don t miss sessions that you ve already flagged, but take some chances, you may surprise yourself! Show up for a talk that you didn t intend to see; it may turn out to be the one you wouldn t have missed for the world. Even if you re not familiar with an invited speaker s work, stop by and give a listen; it could open new doors for you! Plan ahead, but leave room for a little serendipity. Schedule changes and reminders will be prominently posted around the venue. You can also get the latest news by checking the Twitter updates that will be available on the big screen in the EME. This conference is about dialogue; always has been, always will be. When it comes to helping people learn including learning how to teach well there are no one-way streets. Researchers, scholars, teachers and administrators all talk to each other. Our invited speakers will spark conversations in their areas of specialization across a wide range including: language teaching, textbook authorship, teacher education and research. Teaching is a funny mix of intellectual heft, managerial skill, content knowledge and practical routine. This multiplicity is what gave rise to our conference theme: The Teaching-Learning Welcome to JALT00! Dialogue: An Active Mirror. At first glance, a mirror may seem to be a passive reflection of reality. Mirrors, however, are active tools that help us extend, expand, and experience our connection with the world from different angles which give rise to new dimensions and forms of activity. As you attend the plenary sessions you will hear how the speakers attend to concerns of dialogue and dialectic differently. We hope that those who manage to get to all the plenary talks will receive the fully refracted, reflected experience that comes with hearing a theme explored from five very different perspectives. (And yes, if you detect a hint of Vygotskyan theory reflected in our theme this year, you are right! But don t worry, even if you ve never heard of the guy, we think that you ll come away from JALT00 knowing a lot about his key ideas.) We, your conference co-chairs and MCs this weekend, are colleagues, frequent writing and teaching partners in life and online and find ourselves contemplating issues that turn out to be more complex and multi-faceted than they appear to be at first. We have found that dialogue makes everything so much more interesting. We encourage you to get out there and talk to people, listen to what they have to say, and don t be too quick to form your opinions or make your decisions. Let some ideas live and breathe new life into your experience. This year s theme grew out of our mutual belief in the power of reflection, collaboration, and instruction. In turn we invited some of the best speakers and most generous educators we know of to come and share their thoughts on The Teaching- Learning Dialogue. What most of us do for a living is amazingly complicated! Striking the balance between theory and practice in the classroom is a complex and challenging task, but one that offers great rewards when it all comes together. This weekend will allow you to take a fresh look at your bread and butter job and to gain a new appreciation for how impressive the daily task of teaching really is. In addition to new theories and ideas, we hope that this weekend will also provide you with some practical tips and techniques that you can take home and use in the classroom. There is a daily bustle in the Education Material Exhibition (EME) where you will find a non-stop food fair and entertainment stage and a chance to meet, mix and chat with many of the key players in our community. You will encounter authors you ve read recently, the writers who wrote the books you have been using, trainers you ve taken classes with and professors you would like to study with. The EME is where you can flip through books to your heart s content, buy software and testing materials, win prizes in daily draws and just shoot the breeze with friendly reps. Buy a new book, make a new friend or taste a new dish. Granship is the place to make it all new again. JALT00

Welcome Messages Special attractions and events? We ve got em! Early registration begins on Friday and you can catch the Technology in Teaching workshops, a special guest talk by Garr Reynolds and the Welcome Reception.

Plenary Speaker Sessions Scott Thornbury Seven ways of looking at grammar Sponsored by Cambridge University Press Saturday : am :00 am, Chu Hall What is grammar and how is it internalised in the mind? Is it symbolic code or is it neural connection strengths? Is it the sedimented trace of previous conversations or is it an innate human capacity? However we answer these questions obviously has an impact on the way we go about teaching second languages. In this talk I will review some of the key models of grammar often couched as metaphors and look at their implications in terms of classroom practice. In so doing, I will suggest that models grounded in both sociolinguistics and psycholinguistics offer a more valid basis for teaching than do purely linguistic descriptions. Plenary Speakers 文 法 とは 何 か?そして 文 法 はどのように 精 神 において 内 面 化 されるのか? 文 法 とは 象 徴 的 なコードなのか?それとも 神 経 連 絡 の 強 さなのか? 文 法 とは 以 前 の 会 話 の 堆 積 した 跡 なの か?それとも 先 天 的 な 人 間 の 能 力 なのか? 我 々がこれらの 問 いにどのように 答 えるにせよ それは 第 言 語 の 教 え 方 に 影 響 を 及 ぼすのは 明 らかである 本 発 表 では 文 法 の 重 要 なモデ ルのいくつかを 時 に 比 喩 で 包 みながら 取 り 上 げ その 影 響 を 教 室 での 実 践 について 見 ていく こうする 中 で 純 粋 に 言 語 学 的 な 記 述 よりも 社 会 言 語 学 および 心 理 言 語 学 の 両 方 に 根 ざ したモデルの 方 が 有 効 な 教 授 基 盤 を 提 供 することを 示 す Scott Thornbury has an MA (TEFL) from the University of Reading and is currently Associate Professor of Language Studies at the New School in New York City, where he teaches on an online MATESOL program. His previous experience includes teaching and training in Egypt, UK, Spain, and in his native New Zealand. His writing credits include several books for teachers on language and methodology, including About Language, Conversation: From Description to Pedagogy (with Diana Slade), and The CELTA Book (with Peter Watkins), all for Cambridge University Press. He is series editor for the Cambridge Handbooks for Teachers. Aya Matsuda Globalization and language teaching: opportunities and challenges in Japan Saturday : pm :00 pm, Chu Hall The global spread of and its extensive use as an international language has made a popular foreign language option across the world. The national curriculum in Japan, for instance, specifies that be taught as the required foreign language in middle schools because it is an international language. is also the de facto foreign language offering in senior high schools and continues to play important roles in college and beyond. However, the linguistic, cultural, and functional diversity of today complicates ELT practice by challenging some of its most basic assumptions. In my talk, I first present the current sociolinguistic landscape of the language and illustrate how traditional ELT that focuses exclusively on US/UK and culture is not adequate in preparing effective users of as an International Language. Specific changes that can be incorporated into a traditional curriculum are also suggested. 英 語 は 地 球 規 模 で 広 まっており 国 際 語 として 広 範 に 使 用 さ れているため 英 語 は 世 界 中 で 一 般 的 な 外 国 語 の 選 択 肢 とな っている たとえば 日 本 における 国 の 教 育 課 程 では 英 語 は 国 際 語 であることから これを 中 学 校 における 必 須 外 国 語 として 教 えなければならないと 定 められている また 英 語 は 高 等 学 校 における 事 実 上 の 外 国 語 科 目 であり 大 学 以 上 でも 重 要 な 位 置 を 占 めている しかしながら 今 日 の 英 語 の 言 語 学 的 文 化 的 および 機 能 的 多 様 性 から ELTの 実 践 は その 最 も 基 本 的 な 前 提 のいくつかが 揺 らいでいるため 困 難 になっている 私 の 発 表 では まず 英 語 の 現 在 の 社 会 言 語 学 的 状 況 を 呈 示 し それから 米 英 の 英 語 と 文 化 にのみ 焦 点 を 当 てた 伝 統 的 ELTが 国 際 語 としての 英 語 の 有 能 な 話 者 の 育 成 に 不 適 切 で あることを 明 らかにする また 伝 統 的 な 英 語 課 程 に 組 み 込 む ことのできる 具 体 的 な 改 革 案 も 提 案 する Aya Matsuda is Assistant Professor of Language & Literacy and Applied Linguistics at Arizona State University, where she teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in applied linguistics. Her research interests include the pedagogical implications of the global spread of, integration of the World es perspective into US education, and the role of Japanese heritage school for Japanese families in the US. Her work focusing on these issues has appeared in various books and journals including JALT Journal, TESOL Quarterly, and World es. Dr. Matsuda is originally from Japan, speaks and Japanese fluently, and is raising her child bilingually. Interpretation provided courtesy of the Bilingualism SIG JALT00

Plenary Speaker Sessions JALT00 James P. Lantolf The dialectics of instructed second language development Sunday, :00 am :00 am, Chu Hall This presentation emerges from an ongoing project on the implications of dialectics in Vygotsky s theory of consciousness for instructed second language development. Although most L research informed by sociocultural theory asserts that mediation through social interaction and cultural artifacts forms the foundational concept of the theory, I will argue that the real key to the theory is found in the notion of praxis a notion that Vygotsky appropriated from Marx. The crucial feature of praxis in its contemporary version is the dialectic unity of consciousness (knowledge/theory) and action that gives rise to new forms of understanding and behaving. In making the case for praxis and language education I will explain dialectics, i.e., the unity or fusion of opposites, with specific examples and will then discuss evidence from several studies that sustain the effectiveness of a praxisbased pedagogy for promoting language development. 本 発 表 は 教 授 される 第 言 語 の 発 達 のためのヴィゴツキー の 意 識 の 理 論 における 弁 証 法 の 関 わり 合 いに 関 して 現 在 行 われているプロジェクトに 由 来 するものである 社 会 文 化 理 論 に 立 脚 した 第 言 語 の 研 究 のほとんどにおいては 社 会 的 相 互 作 用 および 文 化 的 産 物 による 仲 介 が 同 理 論 の 基 本 概 念 を Merrill Swain Languaging and second / foreign language learning Sunday, : pm :00 pm, Chu Hall The goal of this talk is that the audience leaves with an understanding of the concept of languaging and why it is important for second/foreign language teachers, and learners, to know about. Languaging is a concept that has emerged from Vygotsky s sociocultural theory of mind. For Vygotsky, language is not just a means of social communication, but a tool of the mind: language mediates our thinking and cognition. Languaging is the use of language to mediate cognitively complex acts of thinking. It is the process of making meaning and shaping knowledge and experience through language (Swain, 00). In it, we can see learning in progress. Students who engage in more languaging learn more than those who engage in less languaging. This has been demonstrated over many knowledge domains, including biology, mathematics, and language. In this talk, I will illustrate the power of languaging with excerpts from students who are learning a second or foreign language. 形 成 するとの 主 張 がなされているのに 対 し 私 は 同 理 論 への 本 当 の 鍵 はプラクシスの 概 念 ヴィゴツキーがマルクスから 借 用 した 概 念 にあると 主 張 する 現 代 版 プラクシスにおける 重 要 な 特 徴 は 意 識 ( 知 識 理 論 )と 行 動 の 弁 証 法 的 統 一 性 であ り これにより 理 解 と 振 る 舞 いの 新 たな 形 態 が 生 じる プラクシ スおよび 言 語 教 育 を 推 進 するにあたり 私 は 具 体 的 な 例 を 用 いて 弁 証 法 ( 対 立 するものの 統 一 または 融 合 )を 説 明 し 次 に 言 語 発 達 の 促 進 におけるプラクシスに 基 づいた 教 授 法 の 効 果 を 立 証 するいくつかの 研 究 からの 証 拠 について 論 じる James P.

Plenary and Featured Speaker Sessions Christine Pearson Casanave Perspective taking Sponsored by JALT Teacher Education SIG Monday, :0 am -:0 am, Chu Hall In this talk I discuss perspective taking: the ability to see the world through someone else s eyes. This can happen if people actually experience something that another person or group has experienced, or if they imagine themselves in the shoes of another. In my talk, I refer to both types of perspective taking. In particular, I discuss the following: ) what it might be like to be a student in our own classrooms; ) what insights we can glean from our own language learning experiences; ) what it might be like to be a reader of our own writing; and ) what it is like to do scholarly reading and writing in an L. Reflecting on our teaching, learning, and professional writing from diverse perspectives can help us expand how we understand our students and our work as second language educators. 本 発 表 では パースペクティブ テイキング すなわち 他 人 の 眼 で 世 界 を 見 る 能 力 について 論 じる これが 行 われるのは 別 の 人 や 集 団 が 経 験 したことを 実 際 に 経 験 した 場 合 や 他 人 の 身 になって 想 像 する 場 合 である 私 の 発 表 では 両 方 の 種 類 のパ ースペクティブ テイキングについて 言 及 する 特 に 以 下 の 点 に ついて 論 じる () 私 たち 自 身 のクラスの 生 徒 になってみると いうのはどのようなものなのか () 私 たち 自 身 の 言 語 学 習 経 験 からどのような 洞 察 を 得 ることができるのか () 私 たち 自 身 が 書 いたものの 読 者 になってみるというのはどのようなもの なのか () 第 言 語 で 学 術 的 な 読 み 書 きをするというのはど のようなものなのか 私 たちの 教 授 学 習 および 職 業 的 執 筆 に ついて 様 々な 視 点 から 反 省 することによって 私 たちが 生 徒 を 理 解 したり 第 言 語 教 育 者 としての 自 分 の 仕 事 を 理 解 したり する 幅 を 広 げることが 可 能 となる Christine Pearson Casanave lived and worked in Japan for over years, most of them at Keio University s Shonan Fujisawa Campus, and also as adjunct at Teachers College Columbia University and visiting professor and adjunct at Temple University Japan. She has a special fondness for writing (reflective and essay writing, academic writing, writing for publication), for professional development of language teachers, and for narrative, case study, and qualitative inquiry. One of her long-term goals is to help expand the accepted styles of writing in the TESOL field, and another is to argue for more humanistic, less technology-driven second language education. Featured and Guest Speakers Please note that the Featured Speaker s on Saturday and Sunday from : am are limited to 0 participants each. Registration for these workshops is through the sponsors. Please drop by the sponsoring organization s booth in the EME for further information and to get a ticket to attend one of these workshops. Miles Craven Extensive reading or intensive skills practice Two sides of the same coin? Sponsored by Macmillan LanguageHouse Saturday, : am -:0 pm This workshop will serve as a forum to compare and contrast the merits of extensive reading and intensive reading as a basis for helping our students develop reading competence. Participants will work together to examine the two approaches and review their respective merits. Participants will then focus not on the tensions between extensive and intensive reading, but on their mutual strengths and then explore ways in which one approach can act as a complementary mirror for the other. There will be plenty of time to share common experiences and swap ideas on how to overcome the challenges that teaching reading presents. Finally, participants will draw up a list of key principles which can act as guidelines for teachers of reading classes. 本 ワークショップは 多 読 と 精 読 それぞれの 利 点 を 比 較 対 照 し それに 基 づいて 生 徒 の 読 解 力 を 伸 ばすことを 助 ける 場 とな るものである 参 加 者 は 両 方 のアプローチを 共 同 で 検 討 し そ れぞれの 利 点 を 確 認 する 次 に 参 加 者 は 多 読 と 精 読 の 対 立 関 係 ではなく これらの 極 めて 現 実 的 な 相 互 補 完 性 に 焦 点 を 当 て それぞれのアプローチが 互 いに 相 補 的 な 鏡 として 働 くこ とのできる 方 策 を 探 る 共 通 の 経 験 を 共 有 したり 読 解 の 教 授 の 際 に 生 じる 諸 問 題 をどう 克 服 するかについてのアイデア を 交 換 する 時 間 を 十 分 に 設 ける 最 後 に 参 加 者 は 読 解 のク ラスの 教 師 のための 指 針 となるような 重 要 な 諸 原 理 の 一 覧 を 作 成 する Miles Craven, sponsored by MacMillan LanguageHouse, has over 0 years of experience in language teaching.

Featured Speakers Kristin Johannsen A global view from your classroom window Sponsored by Cengage Learning Saturday, : am -:0 pm Within the language classroom, cross-cultural communication is too often framed in terms of differences, a catalog of troublesome national quirks. Instead, true culture teaching explores both differences and similarities the fascinating diversity of cultures and the common humanity that unites us. Such a perspective gives learners a window through which to understand the world and a mirror by which to perceive themselves. This practical, handson workshop will present ways that teachers can bring cross-cultural learning and communication into their own classrooms. Participants will look at different views on cross-cultural communication and build their own definitions. They will then take part in a number of classroom activities using language to investigate different cultures and to build understanding. Such activities give students a sense that culture is a fascinating field to explore and build students confidence in their own ability to have successful and enjoyable cross-cultural encounters. Nicholas Groom Introducing corpora into the language classroom Sponsored by David House Saturday, : am :0 pm Although electronic text corpora and the new discipline of corpus linguistics have had a profound impact on the design and content of second language dictionaries, grammars, and course books, very few teachers or learners are directly accessing corpora for themselves, either within or beyond the confines of the language classroom. This workshop begins by briefly considering why this is so and why it matters, before tackling the central question of what can be done about it. Participants will try out a range of classroom activities whose aim is to convince learners of the value and viability of studying corpus data inductively and of the value and viability of learning how to use corpus software in order to access and manipulate such data. The aim of the workshop is 語 学 クラスの 中 では 異 文 化 コミュニケーションは 往 々にして 相 違 点 すなわち 問 題 を 引 き 起 こしがちな 奇 妙 な 国 民 性 の 一 覧 という 枠 組 みで 語 られがちである これに 代 えて 真 の 文 化 教 授 法 は 相 違 点 および 共 通 点 - 各 文 化 の 魅 力 的 な 多 様 性 および 我 々を 結 びつける 共 通 の 人 間 性 -の 両 方 を 探 るもので ある このような 視 点 から 学 習 者 は 世 界 を 理 解 するための 窓 と 自 分 自 身 を 認 識 する 鏡 とを 得 ることになる 今 回 の 実 践 的 なワークショップにおいては 教 師 が 異 文 化 学 習 およびコミュ ニケーションを 自 分 のクラスに 導 入 する 方 法 が 呈 示 される 参 加 者 は 異 文 化 コミュニケーションに 関 する 様 々な 意 見 に 接 し 自 分 自 身 の 定 義 を 構 築 する 次 に 言 語 を 用 いたクラス 活 動 にいくつか 参 加 して 異 なる 文 化 について 調 べ 相 互 理 解 を 築 く このような 活 動 によって 生 徒 は 文 化 というものが 探 究 すべき 魅 力 的 な 分 野 だとの 感 覚 を 持 つようになり 円 滑 で 楽 しい 異 文 化 交 流 を 行 なう 自 分 自 身 の 能 力 への 自 信 が 生 徒 に 植 え 付 けられる Kristin Johannsen is a language teacher, materials writer, and a life-long cross-cultural traveler.

More recently, in 00, she has just published the new second edition of Passport and the new third edition of Business Venture with Oxford University Press. The paper explores the application of two learning theories, functional literacy theory and contextual learning theory, as applied to language learning. The author hypothesizes that using these two approaches can increase the language proficiency of students in Japan. The author cites her own case in comparing the learning of with Japanese and the techniques with which greater proficiency can be achieved. She will discuss more methods and techniques using these two methodologies during the conference as she presents her paper and asks the participants about how their JALT00

Featured and Guest Speakers own teaching methods are related to these theories. She cites empirical research that has been conducted and how it will assist in professional teacher development using these two theories. She concludes that these theories can help language teachers achieve their objectives in teaching courses that are relevant, current, and interesting to students. 本 講 演 は 機 能 的 識 字 理 論 および 文 脈 学 習 理 論 というつの 学 習 理 論 の 英 語 学 習 への 応 用 を 探 るものである 講 演 者 はこ のつのアプローチを 用 いることで 日 本 の 生 徒 の 英 語 熟 達 度 を 向 上 させることができると 仮 定 する 自 らの 事 例 を 引 用 して 日 本 語 と 英 語 の 学 習 を 比 較 し 熟 達 度 を 向 上 させる 諸 手 法 に ついて 論 じる また 自 らの 論 文 を 提 示 し 参 加 者 自 身 の 教 授 方 法 がこれらの 理 論 にどのように 関 係 しているかを 問 いかけ ながら さらにこのつの 方 法 論 を 用 いたメソッドや 手 法 を 論 じる また これまで 行 われてきた 経 験 的 な 研 究 を 引 用 し それ がこのつの 理 論 を 用 いてどのように 専 門 性 の 高 い 教 師 の 育 成 に 寄 与 するかを 論 じる 結 論 としてこれらの 理 論 は 生 徒 に とって 意 味 があり 最 新 かつ 興 味 深 い 英 語 の 授 業 を 教 師 が 行 う 上 での 諸 目 標 を 達 成 する 助 けとなると 論 じる Amihan April Mella-Alcazar, or April, has a very strong affinity to Japan, and spoke at Sendai JALT in 00.

Why? Part of the problem has been a focus on only the tools themselves, not on how to clarify our ideas and messages through fundamental design and storytelling principles. In this workshop, Garr explores techniques from some of the world s top business leaders. His Presentation Zen approach challenges the conventional wisdom of making slide presentations and encourages thinking differently and creatively about the preparation, design, and delivery of presentations. Incorporating cognitive science, principles of graphic design, visual communications, and Zen aesthetics, Garr dispels popular myths about presenting, and offers alternatives for designing and delivering better presentations. The lessons are not about dressing up the presentation or decorating slides; they are about understanding and embracing concrete design and delivery principles to make presentations clear, powerful, and memorable. 長 年 にわたり パワーポイントやキーノートなどのプレゼンテ ーションソフトは 向 上 しているが プレゼンテーション 自 体 は 良 くなっていない なぜか? 問 題 の 一 部 はツール 自 体 にのみ 重 点 が 置 かれ 基 本 的 なデザインと 話 術 の 法 則 を 通 じてどの ように 我 々のアイデアやメッセージを 明 確 にさせるかに 重 点 が 置 かれていない 点 である 本 ワークショップではReynolds 氏 が 数 人 の 世 界 のトップビジネスリーダーの 技 術 を 研 究 します Reynolds 氏 のPresentation Zenアプローチは 広 く 受 け 入 れられている スライド 式 プレゼンテーション に 疑 問 を 投 げ かけ プレゼンテーションにおける 違 った また 独 創 的 な 考 え 方 や デザインとプレゼンテーション 方 法 を 奨 励 します 認 知 科 学 グラフィックデザインの 原 理 視 覚 的 情 報 伝 達 禅 の 美 学 など Reynolds 氏 がプレゼンテーションについての 一 般 的 な 通 説 を 払 拭 し 違 ったプレゼンテーションのデザインと より 良 いプレゼンテーション 方 法 を 提 案 します このレッスンはプ レゼンテーションをどのように 飾 り 立 てるか 又 はスライドをど のようにきれいに 見 せるかについてではなく プレゼンテーシ ョンを 明 確 で 迫 力 があり 印 象 的 なものにする 為 に 具 体 的 な デザインと 話 術 を 理 解 し 受 け 入 れるものです A writer, designer, musician, and life-long student of the Zen arts, Garr Reynolds is author of the internationally best-selling Presentation Zen (rd out of Amazon s top business titles for 008).

Special Panel: Teaching World es in Japan Panelists: Aya Matsuda, Arizona State University; Nobuyuki Hino, Osaka University Moderator: Deryn P. Verity, Osaka Jogakuin College } Sunday, : am : pm, Wind Hall The panel will collaborate to explore the question of what should be taught in as an International Language (EIL) classrooms, and how. World es (WE) has attracted much attention in Japan, but the discussion has remained on a theoretical, abstract level. We seek possible pedagogical practices informed by our current understanding of WE studies that will meet the needs of our students. Aya Matsuda will explore issues related to instructional model(s). By considering local educational contexts, she will discuss why an appropriate model is a better goal than the correct model. She will also argue for teaching not only linguistic aspects of language but also communicative strategies. Nobuyuki Hino, responsible for standardizing the word yakudoku with his classic 88 JALT Journal article, will also discuss locally appropriate approaches for teaching EIL/WE. He will present examples of actual teaching practices in EIL/WE and offer suggestions for how EIL can be implemented and taught in EFL classrooms in Japan. 本 パネルのテーマは 国 際 英 語 (EIL)のクラスにおいては 何 をどう 教 えるべきか である 今 日 World es (WE)の 概 念 は 日 本 においても 多 くの 関 心 を 集 めるに 至 っているが これまでのところ その 議 論 は 抽 象 的 な 理 論 のレベルにとどまる 傾 向 があ った このセッションでは 現 在 のWE 研 究 の 知 見 を 生 かしながら 学 習 者 のニーズに 適 合 した 教 育 を 実 践 するための 方 法 を 探 る まず 松 田 文 は 教 育 モデルの 問 題 について 分 析 する 当 該 地 域 の 教 育 環 境 の 考 察 の 上 に 立 ち 単 一 の 正 しいモデル を 想 定 するのではなく その 地 域 に 応 じた 適 切 なモデル を 求 めることが 望 ましいと 論 じる 松 田 はさらに 言 語 的 側 面 だけでなくコ ミュニケーション 方 略 を 教 えることの 重 要 性 を 指 摘 する 次 に 88 年 のJALT Journal の 論 文 によって 日 本 の 訳 読 の 文 化 を 世 界 に 知 らせるきっかけを 作 った 日 野 信 行 が 国 際 英 語 教 育 の 観 点 から やはり 当 該 地 域 の 社 会 的 文 化 的 環 境 に 適 合 したアプローチの 意 義 について 論 じる さらに EILの 理 念 を 反 映 した 授 業 例 について 分 析 し 国 際 英 語 教 育 の 具 体 的 な 教 授 法 について 考 察 する パネリストの 上 記 の 発 題 をもとに さらに 参 加 者 と 一 緒 に 議 論 を 深 めていくことを 願 う Bilingual Family Event Raising children in two languages and two cultures: A bilingual family discussion } Monday, :0 am :0 pm, Koryu Hall (Open to the public) Aya Matsuda, renowned scholar of bilingualism and second-language identity, is a Japanese national who works and lives in a second culture (USA), and raises a bilingual/bicultural child.

Conference Information A Space for Parents/Adults and Children As a service to parents and/or conference participants who are bringing children, provision has been made for a playroom/family space to use and enjoy. You will find videos, board games, books, toys and things that children like to do all set up, and an opportunity to get away from the hustle and bustle of the convention. This can be found near the registration area in the main lobby. As in past years, this is an unsupervised room, meaning that conference participants remain fully responsible for the children that they bring on site, at all times. It is neither intended nor acceptable for children of any age to be left unattended in this space. The safety and security of your children cannot be stressed enough. If you need to give or attend a presentation, please make arrangements with a trusted adult to mind your children. The playroom/family space is offered for the use of our JALT members, guests and their children in the spirit of hospitality and in an effort to make JALT00 more comfortable for all please use it responsibly. The Conference Committee, NPO JALT, and Granship cannot and do not assume or accept any responsibility whatsoever for children at JALT00. } Located near the registration area in the main lobby. JALT00 Intern Program As always, the JALT National Conference is supported by a fantastic team of student interns from universities throughout Japan. This year there are students participating from Fukushima University, Meiji University, Miyagi Gakuin Women s University, Osaka Jogakuin College, Shizuoka Eiwa Gakuin University, Shizuoka Sangyo University, Shizuoka University, Shizuoka University of Welfare, Tokai University, Tokai University Junior College, Tokoha Gakuen University, Tokoha Gakuen Junior College, Toyo Gakuen University, and University of Shizuoka. These talented students many of whom are returning for their second JALT National are invaluable through the contribution they make in the smooth running and ultimate success of the conference. The conference interns work extremely hard onsite throughout all days. In fact, the interns are the first ones onsite every morning and the last ones to leave in the evening. The interns perform tasks and duties which include helping set up for the conference, providing assistance to presenters and guidance to conference attendees, giving technical support, assisting with registration and monitoring the rooms. This year the intern program includes special training sessions provided by Marc Helgersen and P.J. Collins. These sessions aim to foster group cohesiveness and team spirit, maximize the learning potential and ultimately help students gain the most from this real-life experience. It is hoped that these experiences will inspire subsequent academic work while providing an opportunity for students to interact with near-peer role models and make new friends. We are pleased to announce the start of the JALT Office Intern Program. Through this program students have gained valuable work experience at the JALT Central Office in Tokyo during the weeks leading up to the conference. Interns supported JCO staff in preparation for the conference by assisting in the running of the office and by inputting conference data into the JALT database. The program aims to provide: meaningful work experience to supplement and enrich academic experience opportunities to assess and develop skills and abilities a broader perspective of JALT as an organization along with an overview of language teaching and learning in Japan an opportunity for students to use their ability in an office setting exposure to the structure, operations and processes of an NPO Special thanks to: Adam Murray Co-Intern Coordinator Shizuno Seki Co-Intern Coordinator Marc Helgesen and PJ Collins 00 Intern Trainers Junko Fujio JALT Central Office Supervisor and Junko Shirakawa JALT Office Intern Supervisor for their support and commitment to both the JALT Conference and the JALT Office Intern Program. 0 JALT00

Conference Information } Job Information Center (JIC) Located on the th floor, ouside the Koryu Hall Where Educators and Employers Connect The mission of the Job Information Center is to help educators and employers find each other. We serve the needs of both our teacher members/conference participants as well as recruiters from Japan and beyond to find and interview candidates for teaching positions. Of course, the first thing you will find when you visit the JIC are the job listings, but there is also information available about the job market. Once again we will be offering professional development workshops for teachers. This year the focus will be on what we consider to be the three key elements of a successful job search: building your resume, interview skills and tips, and professional development. Teachers can begin by dropping off resumes at the JIC desk, as this is where recruiters will start in their efforts to find you. Once your resume is submitted, it will be reviewed by recruiters and you may be invited to an interview. Things can happen quite quickly at the conference so please check back with the desk regularly. Also, informal meetings are bound to happen, so bring updated resumes (either on paper or a USB memory stick) and contact information with you. If you are a job recruiter, the JIC is the ideal place to post jobs, review resumes, and interview job applicants. Our system is designed to assist you in finding teaching professionals to match your employment needs. Feel free to drop by to talk and to browse through the many positions posted on our job boards. To make it easier to identify pertinent listings, all postings will be arranged by region. We look forward to seeing you. See below for details of the professional development workshops. Douglas Meyer JALT JIC Coordinator For any post-conference inquiries, please contact the Job Information Center coordinator, Douglas Meyer (jic.coordinator@gmail.com) Job Information Centre workshops } } JIC Resume Building (Saturday :0 am, Room B) JIC Professional Development (Sunday : pm, Room 0) } JIC Interview Skills (Monday :0 am, Dai -) Resume Building: In this workshop the JIC team will concentrate on tips and pointers for brushing up your resume or building a new one from scratch.

Ready to work hard to land the best jobs in your city? Here are tips anyone can use in order to move up the ladder. Interviewing Skills: These days the competition for a limited number of jobs is fierce. Even a few poorly chosen words can spoil your chances of getting that new position. At this workshop, we will go over some basic skills, interview do s and don ts and share a few success stories.

An article published in the Proceedings qualifies as a refereed publication. The Proceedings also functions as an important reference point for foreign language teaching in Japan and internationally. We do, therefore, strongly encourage you to submit an article. For more information on submitting, plus an online submissions form, please go to www.jalt-publications.org/proceedings/00/.

Participants will examine the two approaches, review their respective merits, and focus not on the tensions between extensive and intensive reading, but on their mutual strengths: each approach can be a complementary mirror to the other. Participants will swap ideas on how to overcome the challenges that teaching reading presents, and draw up a list of key principles and guidelines for teachers.

Fellner, Terry - Saga University terry.fellner@gmail.com : - : ( min) Room 0 College & University Education: Writing (WRIT) Writing fluency is usually determined by the number of words produced in a timed period. However, is this accurate? The presentation illustrates that higher level students those considered more fluent do not always produce more words. The presenter examined freshman students written texts based upon word counts and lexical frequency and concluded that writing fluency is better determined by using the definition first proposed by Fellner and Apple (00). CANCELLED L learner motivation within a SCT framework Tanaka, Takako - Doshisha University taktanak@mail.doshisha.ac.jp : - : ( min) Room 0 College & University Education: Motivation (MOT) Several scholars have argued that the complex nature of motivation cannot be captured from a cognitivist viewpoint. In order to expand and deepen the understanding of L learning motivation, they have applied a Vygotskian sociocultural theory and reconceptualized it as a socially and culturally mediated phenomenon. Taking this perspective, this study examines L learners motivational development over a -month period and reveals that the nature of L learner motivation is dynamic, evolving and co-constructed.

Sunday November nd Morning Presentations SAT Cross-cultural communication is too often framed in terms of differences, a catalog of national quirks that can turn into pitfalls. Instead, our teaching of culture in the language classroom needs to explore both differences and similarities, the fascinating diversity of cultures, along with the common humanity that unites us. Introducing such a perspective helps us give learners a window through which to understand the world, and a mirror by which to perceive themselves.

The study is the basis for my doctoral work on Japanese cognitive development in relation to TEFL methodology. Towards a functional/lexico-grammatical syllabus Peppard, Jason - Birmingham University College & University Education: Corpus (COR) The presenter will outline the development, implementation, and rationale for a functional/lexicogrammatical (FL) syllabus, and report on an experiment conducted to test its effectiveness. The FL syllabus is a discourse-driven, lexico-grammatical syllabus realized through corpus-driven pattern grammar (Hunston and Francis, 8, 000) and data-driven learning (Johns,, ) techniques. Curriculum design: Same plan, multiple outcomes Sato, Joanne - Birmingham University College & University Education: Teacher Education (TED) This presentation focuses on teacher cognition and interactive decisions at a women s junior college in Japan. I will discuss how to capture the reality of classrooms and individual teachers in action through a classroom as culture approach. The reliability of retrospective interviews Wharton, Chris - Birmingham University College & University Education: Vocabulary (VOC) Word association tests are flawed and always have been. One major shortcoming is the categorization of response types. While one way of minimizing classification errors is through retrospective interviews, they should not be considered foolproof. The current study investigates the effect of test length on the reliability of retrospective interviews. Meisei University Sunday, :0 - : Room 08 Is juku a villain in Japanese education? Kano, Ayana - Meisei University Conversation/Language School: Learner Development (LD) This study re-examines juku (cram schools) in Japan through the notions of Communities of Practice (Lave & Wenger) and Habitus (Bourdieu).This study employs an ethnographic approach and seeks to answer two questions: How does students social interaction influence students learning and how do students learn and develop their identities being situated in a juku? Aston University Sunday, : - : Room 08 Error correction in L writing instruction Baldwin, Chris - Aston University College & University Education: Writing (WRIT) Does grammar correction improve grammatical competence in L writing? Are some types of error more correctable than others? This study found that written grammar error correction does not lead to any statistically significant improvement over time. Lexical and simple grammatical errors were found to be correctable, whereas complex morphosyntactic errors deteriorated with correction and improved without correction. Students prefer correction but may feel freer to experiment without correction. Pedagogical implications will be discussed. Second language laughter transfer Walker, Richard - Aston University Junior/Senior High School: Teacher Education (TED) In 00, Haruko Hayakawa analysed laughter in Japanese conversation and discovered evidence of a meaningless laugh within Japanese communication. This presentation will look at how a meaningless laugh can be transferred into second language () communication.
