After a VERY successful student conference held at ILA in September of 2018, the local Kansai members of LD are gearing up to team up with the Kyoto JALT Chapter to host another student centered conference in mid- to late July!  A call for papers will go out in April to allow for local teachers to integrate the project into their first term curriculums and then have plenty of time to work with students on ‘abstracts’ for submission to the GT team/Kyoto Chapter officers for vetting.  Watch this space for news about this year’s theme, important deadlines, and some surprises we have in store.  Contact Gretchen Clark (Kansai Get Together organizer) for more information at: gretchen3clark (at) gmail (dot) come.
