The language teaching industry is constantly changing, and advancements in the science of mind and brain have the potential to transform language teaching methods. The joint JALT Nankyu Chapter and the JALT Mind, Brain, and Education Special Interest Group (BRAIN SIG) conference aims to examine how the latest research on the mind and brain can be practically applied in educational contexts. We invite proposals from both members and non-members of the BRAIN SIG to make this conference informative and inspiring. Attendees can expect to gain a deeper understanding of how mind, brain, and education intersect, and how this multidisciplinary approach can enhance language teaching practices.
Happily, we are continuing to hold SUTLF in-person at the Sojo International Learning Center in Kumamoto as well as online. We invite researchers, educators, and learners to share their knowledge and work in the fields of brain science and language education. In the spirit of collaboration, we are not limiting presentations only to the field of neuroscience, psychology, cognitive neuroscience, and neurolinguistics, but also to more generalized research in the field of language education as a whole. We hope to foster an event where both presenters and attendees can share and be inspired by presentations and workshops in the areas of brain science and language teaching. We hope you will join us on Saturday, February 3rd for a day of professional development and networking opportunities.
As with SUTLF 2023, this conference will offer opportunities for both in-person and online presentations, as well as dual-purpose rooms in which live speakers can be streamed to online attendees. Please be sure to mark yourself as attending either online or in person when you register.
