Samarakoon, a doctoral student at Hiroshima
City University, sharing her insights of theBilingual Education Project (BEP) in herhome country of Sri Lanka as it relates to thedifficulties brought about by the COVID-19

2023

James Underwood
LD SIG Coordinator
jamesmichaelunderwood@
gmail.com
Welcome back, everyone! I’m James
Underwood, the new coordinator. Spring isin the air, and with the cherry blossoms thatcome with the energy and excitement of newtransitions, I welcome you back to another issueof Learning Learning. Speaking of transitions,last year at the AGM held in November, there
were quite a few changes in the Learner
Development SIG committee.
First, I would like to recognise the hard workand effort of those committee members whostepped down. Many thanks to Tim Cleminson
for his work helping to organise LDSIG forums
held at PanSIG and JALTCALL, creating publicity
materials and liaising with Tsukuba University
for the CEGLOC conference. Thank you also
to those members of the committee for all they
have done for the SIG up until they stepped
down in November. Andy Barfield stepped
down from his role as Membership coordinatorto focus on the Learner Development Journal.
Akiko Takagi, Lee Arnold, and Szabina Adamkustepped down from organising the forums; wewish you all the best of luck. After many years ofservice managing the website, Hugh Nicoll will
also be stepping down; thank you for all yourhard work!
It was, therefore, great also to welcome thefollowing new members to the committee:
Amelia Yarwood (Programs), Emily Choong(Membership), Ivan Lombardi (LL team/LDJ),
Megumi Uemi (LL team), Nicolas Emerson(Website). And welcome back to Eileen Yap
and Rob Moreau (Publicity) and Tim Ashwell(LL team). Thank you also to Mike Kuziw forbecoming the new publications chair.

2023 EVENTSIn 2023, we have two LDSIG forums. The firstwill be part of the PanSIG conference in Kyoto
in May this year. The second will be at the JALTInternational Conference in November this year
at Tsukuba. Participating in the forums is a great
way to showcase how you have explored andfacilitated learner development in and beyond
your classrooms while connecting with LDSIG
members across Japan.
There are also five online get-togethersscheduled for the rest of the year, the first ofwhich will happen on April 23rd. These gettogethers are a great chance to meet with other
LDSIG members, develop professionally, andlearn from others teaching in different contexts
and areas.
As the LDSIG will turn 30 this year, there is apossibility of an anniversary conference at theend of the year. More on this will be publishedlater.

2023年には、LDSIGフォーラムが2つあります。
1つ目は、今年5月に京都で開催されるPanSIG会議の一部となる予定です。
2つ目は、今年11月につくばで開催されるJALT国際会議で行われる予定です。
フォーラムに参加することで、教室内外で学習者の能力開発をどのように探求し、促進したかを発表し、日本中のLDSIGメンバーとつながることができます。
また、今年度中に5回のオンライン懇親会が予定されており、その第1回目は4月23日に開催される予定です。
この懇親会は、他のLDSIGメンバーと出会い、プロフェッショナルとして成長し、異なる文脈や領域で教える他のメンバーから学ぶ絶好の機会です。
LDSIGは今年30歳になるため、年末に記念大会を開催する可能性があります。
詳細は後日掲載します。
