1 April 2019Japan Association of College English Teachers (JACET)

The 2nd JACET
Summer(46th) and English Education(7th)Joint Seminar (Tokyo, 2019)
We are delighted to announce our three-day event, the 2nd JACET Joint Seminar, which combinesits 46th JACET Summer Seminar and 7th English Education Seminar. This event focuses on ELT
materials, and its theme is ELT materials development and use: Linking theory and practice.
Recent developments in classroom technology as well as the diversification of learners’ levels andinterests have brought about profound changes in materials for language education. Teachers,materials writers, and publishers, therefore, need to face various challenges in selecting, revisingand developing teaching resources to meet learner needs. These challenges, in turn, should betackled through the collaboration of researchers, practitioners, and publishers. Against thisbackdrop, and with a varied line-up of featured lectures, symposia, poster sessions, publishers’
presentations and exhibitions, as well as Special Interest Group workshops, this joint seminar aims
to provide opportunities to discuss issues related to ELT materials development. We are fortunate
to have prominent scholars join us as invited lecturers: Dr Willy Renandya (National Institute ofEducation, Singapore), Prof. Dr Masaki Oda (Tamagawa University, Japan), and Dr Yoshiko Goda(Kumamoto University, Japan).
