Winter Course 2021 and AEL Forums

AEL Course aims to nurture internationally minded educational professionals (IMEP) who haveinternational perspective and are able to address educational challenges in contemporary East Asia.
Specifically, it nurtures (1) Education researchers capable of undertaking comparative analysis of
educational issues in East Asia; (2) Teacher leaders who are practicing educators capable of engaging withresearchers, policymakers and other practitioners; and (3) Education administrators with the knowledge
and skills required to collaborate with partners across the region.
AEL Course is set up by consensus among, and its summer/winter courses are hosted in turn by, six
partner institutes of five universities in East Asia from 2014. 2019-2021 was the third round of AEL Course.
Due to the unexpected Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, we had to cancel Summer Course 2020 which wasscheduled to be hosted by National Chengchi University (NCCU). Through collaboration between National
Chengchi University and Tohoku University, we were able to restart the AEL course online in winter of2021. Winter Course 2021 (WC2021) was the 13th AEL summer/winter courses. More importantly, it was
the 1st time for us to open this course online. The 1st online AEL course provided us many references forconstructing blended learning in AEL course through innovative and interactive measures in the future. Our
special gratitude goes to Dr. Arthur Ellis, Professor of Seattle Pacific University, who gave lectures to ourstudents in the A-P subject. In accordance with the current AEL Course curriculum frame, WC2021 opened
the following two subjects (Table 1).

In 2020, there are two students from Tohoku University and nine students from Nanjing Normal

In addition, with collaboration with partner institutions, Tohoku University was pleased to host two
Asia Education Leader Forums in AY 2020 to enhance exchange and communication between students
and faculty members of partner universities. The 1st forum, in July 2020, was about experiences andprospects of online education. And the 2nd forum, in March 2021, was related to various perspectives ofeducation and their impact on sustainable development in Asia. We wish the forum would become anannual event for AEL students and faculty members for promoting academic exchange and communication.
The online summer course in 2021 will be held by Korea University.
