Description
This year’s JASAL Forum brings together three SALC-related initiatives that extend learning beyond the classroom. The presentations explore creative open mic events, voluntary student support networks, and intercultural exchange between universities. Together, they show how self-access learning spaces can foster creativity, accessibility, relational safety, learner autonomy, and community building. The forum invites discussion on how SALCs can support students’ academic, social, and personal growth.
