Title: Online Learning of Vocabulary through the New General Service List Project
In this session the presenter will briefly introduce his New General Service List Project, a collection of 7 free corpus-based word lists designed to meet the needs of 2nd language learners. Dr. Browne will then demonstrate their large and growing collection of free online tools for teaching and learning these words as well as using the wordlists for content creation and text simplification.

He has been in Japan since 1985 and actually served as the first National Chairman of the JET Program back in 1987. Though ancient by most standards he is still quite active with distance biking, running, gym workouts and long walks with his dog.
