Language: English
Speaker: Alexandra Terashima
Abstract
I will describe my experience attending the JALT PanSIG 2024, a conference organized by many of the Special Interest Groups (SIGs) of the Japan Association for Language Teaching, which took place in Fukui, May 24-26. I attended several interesting talks on technology assisted assessment, reflection in academic writing, individual learner differences in language learning, AI assisted language learning and teaching poetry, to name a few of the topics. In this session I will share my impression of attending this conference for the first time, what I learned from these talks, and share about my experience presenting at the PanSIG conference with two colleagues about our ongoing collaboration.
