ABSTRACT

The JALT Vocabulary SIG will hold a forum at the 2025 JALT PanSIG Conference. The forum will be of particular interest to members of the Vocabulary SIG, however, anyone is welcome to join. The forum will begin with a short address by the President of the Vocabulary SIG, Mark Howarth, in which he will provide an update on the current state of the SIG. The remaining time will be dedicated to a roundtable discussion, led by moderator Joseph Vitta (Waseda University), in which participants will have a chance to discuss current trends in vocabulary-related research. Participants are encouraged, but not required, to contact the Vocab SIG at jaltvocab@gmail.com if there are any projects in particular that you would like to introduce and discuss with attendees. It is perfectly acceptable to discuss projects without contacting the SIG beforehand as well. We hope to have a lively, informed discussion on all things vocabulary related!
