LD Forum at JALT 2007
Connecting and Sharing Ideas
Friday, November 23rd 14:25 - 16:00 Room 510
Moving away from the poster presentation format of recent years, this year’s forum will focus on participants. Following the theme “Connecting and sharing ideas,” there will be time to discuss in small groups ideas or questions you have that are related to learner development and autonomy. We will also hear about how LD members have been connecting at local area get-togethers through the year, and we will talk about ways to continue those connections both face-to-face and online through the coming year. If you have tried something in your class and it really worked, please come and share. If you are struggling with something in your classes or in your research, the forum will be a great opportunity to get feedback from others. Even if you think you don’t have anything in particular to share, please still come along and participate in what are sure to be some very interesting discussions. We look forward to seeing you there.
Suggested questions for small group discussion
- What do you do to promote learner autonomy in your classroom / in your department / in your institution?
- Do you have any problems dealing with learner beliefs? What are they?
- When do you feel the "student power"? When is the most recent or most impressive event where you were impressed by the student power?
- Are you interested in teaching learning strategies explicitly? How do you teach them? Any problems you want to discuss? Any issues you want to explore regarding teaching strategies?
- Have you used self-evaluation systems in your class? How do you use them? Any problems you want to discuss? Any issues you want to explore regarding student self-evaluation?
- If you have any other topics related to Learner Development that you want to raise and discuss in the Forum, please email Etsuko Shimo at etsu321 ATMARK hotmail DOT COM by Thursday morning! Thanks!

LDフォーラム：
「アイディアをつないで共有しよう」
日時：11月23日（金）14：25〜16:00 場所：Room 510
今年のフォーラムは、ここ数年行ってきたポスター発表形式とは違い、なお一層参加者中心に行う予定です。「アイディアをつないで共有しよう」をテーマに、小グループで学習者ディベロプメントやオートノミーに関連するアイディアや課題を話し合う時間を取ります。この１年LDの地区別集会でどのような活動がなされているかを知る機会もあります。これらの集まりを今後、実際に会って、あるいはオンラインを使用して続けていく方法も模索します。 自分の授業で行って非常にうまくいったことがあれば、ぜひ話しに来てください。授業や研究で 困っていることがあれば、このフォーラムが他の人からフィードバックを受ける絶好のチャンスです。特に話すことがないという方でも、この非常に面白い議論を生み出す機会にぜひ足を運んでください。皆さんの参加をお待ちしています。
