“Get-togethers” are non-presenter based events where SIG members discuss in pairs and small groups their learning, teaching, and researching practices and interests to do with learner development. For the last couple of years we have been meeting online so that SIG members can take part from anywhere in Japan.

We welcome the participation of teachers from diverse teaching contexts – including elementary school, junior high school, senior high school, university, distance learning & graduate studies, and language school settings – and teachers teaching languages other than English.

You are very welcome to come along and join in – and to invite a colleague or friend too if they share an interest in learning about learner development together with other teachers and graduate students.

Please monitor the Learner Development SIG Facebook group for announcements on Get-togethers.

If you have a question about Get-Togethers, please direct questions to ‘General Enquires’ on Contact Us.
