Not many of us are teacher trainers in technology, but many of us have introduced new technology to our colleagues or students. How do we help teachers and students to become more independent users of technology? How to we introduce technology to the wary or uninterested so that the technology is adopted rather than neglected or even rejected?
Change of date and venue:We've moved the event back one week to October 28th, and we've moved the venue to Seinan Gakuin University in Nishijin.
Over 30 presentations on the theory and practice of teaching and learning languages. Topics include Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL); Linguistics; Classroom Management; and more.
Call for Presenters

Helping our students to develop as self-regulated learners able to successfully engage with learning tasks involves helping them to acquire certain skills, strategies and approaches that they can apply both in and out of the classroom. This is important both for contributing to positive academic outcomes, and for building and sustaining motivation.
Several short presentations. Afterwards, let's continue the discussion over beer and food nearby.
The speakers are listed below in alphabetical order:
We will all meet up at Rollins, an American-style Italian restaurant bar in Akasaka for a 2-hour dinner. The dinner is a set meal, and the drinks are all-you-can-drink beer and wine.
You walk into the classroom. The students are at the back chatting with friends, sitting in silence, checking their phones, or resting their heads on the desks. Then, suddenly, the bell sounds. It is the start of the class. How do we as teachers change the classroom dynamic to one where learning can take place for all concerned?
