As a condition of receiving a grant, grant awardees are invited to a) present at a Get-together (or LD SIG forum) and b) contribute a personalised conference review of between 1200 and 1600 words long
a) Present at a get-together (or LD SIG forum)
You are encouraged to either:
Present at the LDSIG Forum: Share your findings or reflections during the dedicated LDSIG Forum at one of the JALT conferences (PanSIG, JaltCALL, International conference)
Or
Present at a Get-Together: Present your ideas at an informal SIG get-together (online or in-person).
By doing so, you can exchange ideas in a collaborative environment, form connections with other members, while adding to your C.V.
b) Contribute a personalized review
(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).
