Obligations for Grant Recipients: As a condition of receiving a grant, all grant awardees (conference/research/project) must write a piece for the SIG’s newsletter, Learning Learning
I. Conference grant awardees: Contribute a personalised conference review of between 1200 and 1600 words long.
(i) You don’t need to review the whole conference; rather, please focus your writing on a specific learner development topic or puzzle (that is, a question about learning and/or your learners) that is interesting and meaningful for you and that you wish to explore by attending the conference. Please aim to write with a personal voice about your exploration of that topic or puzzle.
(ii) Once awarded a grant, please contact the Learning Learning editors responsible for grant awardee writing (email: <lleditorialteam@gmail.com>) and share with them a 100- to 150-word sketch/ideas/plan of what you intend to write so that you develop your writing in consultation with them. Recipients who plan to write their reflections in Japanese may submit a 200-300 character sketch or plan. Be sure to do this a few weeks ahead of the conference that you will be attending. Many thanks.
(iii) Ideally, you will complete a first draft of your conference report within two months of the conference, and through further feedback and discussion, a final draft (1200-1600 words) within 3 months of the conference that you attend).
II. Research grant awardees: Complete a progress report on the development of your research, 600-800 words long, within three months of receiving the grant, and a final draft (1600-2000 words maximum) within one year.
(i) As a first step, please send to the Learning Learning editors responsible for grant awardee writing (email: <lleditorialteam@gmail.com>) and share with them a 100- to 150-word sketch/ideas/plan of what you intend to write so that you develop your writing in consultation with them. Recipients who plan to write their reflections in Japanese may submit a 200-300 character sketch or plan.
(ii) You don’t need to review the whole field related to your research; rather, please focus your writing on the specific learner development topic or puzzle that you are researching, and write in a personal voice about your research of that topic or puzzle.
(iii) Through further feedback and discussion, you would send a progress report of 600-800 words within 6 months of receiving the grant and a more or less complete draft within 9 months of receiving the research grant for a final draft (1600-2000 words) within one year.
III. Project grant awardees should aim to submit an initial short report of 600-800 words within six months of receiving the grant, and a final draft (1600 words maximum) within one year.
(i) As a first step, please send to the Learning Learning editors responsible for grant awardee writing (email: <lleditorialteam@gmail.com>) a 100 to 150-word sketch/ideas/plan of what you intend to write so that you develop your writing in consultation with them. Recipients who plan to write their reflections in Japanese may submit a 200-300 character sketch or plan.
(ii) Through further feedback and discussion, you will complete a more or less complete draft within nine months of receiving the project grant, and a final draft (1600 words maximum) within one year.
Note: It would be great if research and project grant recipients also give a presentation on their research/project at an LD SIG forum or local LD SIG event (a get-together for example), so please do discuss possibilities with the SIG committee.
