The 34th Annual Conference of the Southeastern Association of Teachers of Japanese
Saturday, March 2, 2019

The theme of the conference is “Advocacy for Japanese Language Education in the 21st Century.” The conference aims to facilitate discussions that examine the significance of Japanese language education and explore ideas for innovative teaching and activities that help advocate for our profession. We particularly encourage proposals addressing (1) the integration of 21st century skills and cultural competency in the curriculum that make the teaching and learning of Japanese language more relevant in today’s world, and (2) the importance of articulation and teacher collaboration to better advocate for learners.
In addition to session proposals that are related to the conference theme, we welcome proposals on any topic related to Japanese language and teaching (pedagogy, classroom activities, assessment, instructional technology, second language acquisition, linguistics, literature and film, heritage language learners, K-12 issues in teaching Japanese, etc.).
SEATJ is an organization serving all levels of Japanese teachers, and we welcome proposals from K-12 educators as well as instructors and graduate students at institutes of higher education, including both native and non-native speakers of Japanese. Proposals are for 30-minute sessions (20-minute presentation + 10-minute Q & A), and presentations can be in either English or Japanese. Please submit your proposals using Google Form by December 1, 2018. Notification of acceptance will be sent via email by December 15.
