Sojo University Teaching and Learning Forum (SUTLF).
The language teaching industry is constantly changing, and advancements in the science of mind and brain have the potential to transform language teaching methods. The joint JALT Nankyu Chapter and the JALT Mind, Brain, and Education Special Interest Group (BRAIN SIG) conference aims to examine how the latest research on the mind and brain can be practically applied in educational contexts. We invite proposals from both members and non-members of the BRAIN SIG to make this conference informative and inspiring. Attendees can expect to gain a deeper understanding of how mind, brain, and education intersect, and how this multidisciplinary approach can enhance language teaching practices.
While the subject of brain sciences and language education can be explored in presentations, posters, and workshops, we want to invite proposals from both members and non-members of the BRAIN SIG to make this conference informative and inspiring. If you have research that you would like to share that doesn't necessarily fit into the brain sciences category, don't worry! You are more than welcome to participate. As this is a joint event with SUTLF, a conference that strives to foster opportunities to share research-focused and practice-focused investigations in language education, submissions that fall under other categories of study are more than welcome. When you submit a proposal, you can choose between a Brain Sciences track and a general TEFL track.
As with SUTLF 2023, this conference will offer opportunities for both in-person and online presentations, as well as dual-purpose rooms in which live speakers can be streamed to online attendees. Please be sure to mark yourself as attending either online or in person when you register.
Registration will open on January 1st. Tickets are 3000 yen (3500 for non-members) and free for students. Lunch and networking tickets will also be available.
