In the 1990s when LD started out as a SIG, it tried to do things a little differently by holding small meetings, without a presenter, where people could talk with each other directly about their interests.

Since JALT2006, members of the Learner Development SIG across Japan have been re-connecting with this original combination of learner and teacher development. Over the last 9 months, different local groups have been getting together to talk about learner and teacher development issues of central concern to those taking part. These local area get-togethers -- enthusiastically coordinated by a whole host of people including Naoko Aoki, Matthew Apple, Umidahon Ashurova, Steve Brown, Robert Croker, Ellen Head, Mike Nix, Etsuko Shimo, Jodie Stephenson and Stacey Vye -- have taken place in Hiroshima, Kobe, Kyoto, Nagoya, and Tokyo.

At the annual conference, the LD SIG will be similarly using its forum as an open opportunity for those participating to explore together their individual and different interests in learner and teacher development/ autonomy. If you would like to (re-)connect with these many different conversations and discussions, then please feel free to join the LD SIG Forum and/or the LD SIG Party at JALT2008 in Tokyo. We're looking forward to seeing you there!

If you’d like to get together with LD members in your area....

Contact Stacey Vye (stacey.vye at mark gmail.com) or Mike Nix (mikenix at mark tamacc.chuo-u.ac.jp).
