The most famous place in Japan for viewing cherry blossoms is Mount Yoshino in the Kii peninsula, located a
2-hour drive to the south-east of Osaka.The cherry blossoms here bloom a few weeks after blossoms in Osaka,with the annual cherry blossom festival being held on the third Saturday in April. The whole of Mount Yoshino isregistered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is home to around 200 different types and thirty thousandcherry trees.

welcome to acll/actc 2014
Dear Delegates,
My co-chair Barbara Lockee and I, are pleased to welcome you to IAFOR’s Fourth Annual Asian Conference on Language
Learning and the Fourth Annual Asian Conference on Technology in the Classroom.
It is spring and in Japan that means it is cherry blossom viewing time. Cherry blossom viewing is an important cultural event
here and has been for hundreds of years. Blossoms live for about a week before falling down like snow to the ground. Samurai
were compared to cherry blossoms because like the blossoms they were to live short, intense, brilliant lives.

Having lived in Osaka for 19 years, I would be remiss to not welcome you to this great city as well. You will be able to enjoy
a wide range of cuisine in one of the most friendly cities in Japan. Should you have time after the conference, Kyoto, Kobe,
and Nara are close by with their temples, views, and nature. And less than 20 minutes from the conference site by public
transportation is Osaka Castle Park with the castle, or Osaka Jo as it is known, proudly standing in the middle of the park andwell worth a visit.
Having had a preview of the programme, I am confident when I say that all of us will take many things away from thesesessions! So enjoy the conference (and Osaka) and I hope to see you at some of the events we have scheduled, such as thecomplimentary welcome reception on Thursday evening or the Conference Dinner on Friday evening. What better way tocontinue discussions and networking than over a meal?!
Happy Conferencing!

letter of welcome

What does this have to do with our conferences? Well, while we do not expect any falling down, we do feel that all of us arein for an intense few days. The theme of the conferences is Individual, Community, Society: Connecting, Learning and Growing.
When combined with language learning and technology in the classroom, we are in for a brilliant and rewarding time. From
the welcome party through to the closing ceremony, the next few days should engage and challenge you as you hear fromboth experienced educators and new up-and-coming teacher-researchers. It will be a chance to renew old acquaintances,make new contacts, and network across higher education. Come Sunday evening, we will not be the same teachers we wereon Thursday! And we will be sad at how fast the time went by.

Featured Speech: Answerless Riddles: Stories from Language Learning Classrooms
Some riddles have no final answers.
A few answerless riddles are still worth asking.
They are worth asking not for their answers, since they have none,
but for what we do in struggling with them.

Earl Stevick is one of my favorite authors when it comes to language learning and teaching. I was first introduced to
his work while a graduate student at the School for International Training in Brattleboro, Vermont. Ever since then I
have remembered the quotation above as it sums up for me what we do as we try to make sense of our calling, ourchosen profession—teaching. Using the conference theme, Individual, Community, Society: Connecting, Learning and
Growing as a point of departure, let’s take some time to look at the riddles that are teaching and learning, technology
and language. What’s the best way to teach? How can students learn more efficiently? How can technology fit into
language learning? For me, these and questions like them are some of those answerless riddles that are worth asking.
Let’s use this session to struggle with them as we “connect, learn, and grow” together.

Globalization, Culture and the individual--in an example from English education in Japan
Culture offers an exclusive, epistemological system to make sense of the self and the world. Under cultural instructions,members see what and as they are supposed to see. The language is a major player of this role. This presentation
focusses on how the same language and the culture may also offer a chance for the individual, speaker/observer, to goout of this closed epistemological and ontological circuit. The example is taken from English education in Japan.
The education filters the inferential and interactive structure of English which supports the speaker to move from theobservation of the concrete to its abstract articulation through his act of reasoning. English is reduced to referential
relationships, to be leveled with Japanese. The speaker loses the chance to articulate their individuation.
Here, two choices are available between continuing to filter inference and assimilating inference with reference. The
latter may allow speakers to take advantage of the combination of English reasoning in abstraction and Japanesereferential randomness/directness with the concrete, and to go out of fixations.The former continues to provide social
security by trimming epistemological deviances.
The presentation stresses creativity by the speakers, which necessitates individuation, but not determinism.

gifted education, educational leadership and of course has had lengthy experience within teaching, researching andleading ICT in Education.
Keynote Speech: Improving School/Home Communication With Online Blogs
New Zealand has a very different education to that in Japan. Like Japan, there are both strengths and weaknesses in
the New Zealand education system. One of the strengths of the New Zealand education system that is different fromJapan is that the schools are governed by Boards of Trustees, not by the Ministry of Education. Boards of Trustees
comprise seven elected parents, the principal, one elected staff member and in the case of secondary schools, anelected student. Schools have a great deal of autonomy to make their own decisions, with the Boards of Trustees evendeciding which teachers to hire, and whom to hire as principal.
The reason for giving so much power to New Zealand parents is to increase their involvement in the educationof their children. But a governance role still does not inform parents about what is happening to their child in theclassroom on a daily basis. The research outlined in this presentation was instigated to investigate whether online
parental access to classroom blogs could help to bridge the gap between home and school.
A classroom at a New Zealand intermediate (middle) school in a lower socio-economic area was selected for the
research location because the teacher and students of the class were compiling regular blogs about the teaching/learning process. The parents of the students were offered online access to the classroom blogs that the teacher andstudents had created, followed by a survey of the parent’s opinions about having online access to the classroom inthis manner.
This presentation will outline the New Zealand education context and describe the results of the research project.
Possible implications for Japan will also be discussed.

Featured Speech: First and Second Language Acquisition Researchers: the things that unite and separate us
Language acquisition is a process that has recently been described as “chaotic.” Many factors contribute to the learners’
ultimate level of language mastery, and no single theory can exhaustively explain the processes in the learners’ brain.
Not only second language learners but also native speakers show clear differences in their ability to express themselves
and produce meaning in written and spoken form.

Teaching English as a Foreign Language: Curriculum Development for Communicative Competence
The discussion revolves around a research conducted on developing the most effective curriculum for students
studying English as a foreign/second language. The aim of such a research is to analyze the ESL textbooks of acountry on factors such as general criterion and teaching communicative competence. Communicative competence
is extensively acknowledged as an excellent way to ensure a successful language teaching program. It is based on
instilling proficiency in the target language by improving the abilities and potential of second language learners. The
term communicative competence describes the learner’s proficiency and expertise in handling the target language
in all kinds of communications in real life situations with confidence and understanding of how/when to use certain
vocabulary items depending on contextual elements, however, this does not mean that the learner should havenative like accuracy or fluency. This discussion is based on my research work regarding Pakistan’s ESL textbooks inwhich questionnaire and discussion methods were used. The questionnaire was based on certain significant elements
identified from various checklists employed for material evaluation along with a section based on the four techniquesof communicative competence. The completed questionnaire was submitted by English teachers who were teachingat different secondary levels from selected government schools, later followed by a description of the strengths andweaknesses of their respective textbooks. In the second phase, the four important areas of communicative competence
were analyzed by selecting and evaluating the three main ESL text books being used in Pakistan.The framework will beshared with the audience to enable them to analyze the textbooks within their own respective countries.

Closing Session Featured Speech: Helping language learners build knowledge
This talk will focus on ways to help learners build knowledge as they learn second or foreign languages, enabling themto join the target language community. In a country like Japan, where learners, teachers and the society of which they
form a part share the same first language, other languages may be squeezed out even when there is a desire to learn
them. Despite time, effort and good intentions, neither Willingness to Communicate (MacIntyre, Clément, Dörnyei &Noels,1998), nor skills training, nor Communicative Language Teaching has provided a viable way forward for those
who wish to or need to learn other languages.
A solution put forward by Byrnes (2006) is to draw on lessons from Sociocultural Theory and Systemic Functional
Linguistics, using functional descriptions of language in context to assist language learners. Drawing lessons from Byrnes(2006), three main areas are attended to.The first examines the need for a commitment to teaching language learners
up to their potential, whether intermediate or advanced, in the target language. The second explores ways to help L2
learners understand meaning in the texts that they read and those they construct. Acceptance in a social or culturalgroup requires being able to analyse and break down a variety of texts and understand how they work. The third is
the use of technology in language education. Technology represents one part of the solution, and it will be argued
that technology should be embraced in the digital age just as it was embraced when it meant the printing press, orthe pencil.

Closing Session
Featured Speech:

It follows that efforts be directed more towards the building of knowledge, by such means as integrating content andlanguage instruction.

IAFORThe International Academic Forum
Academic Vision and Mission“To Open Minds, To Educate Intelligence, To Inform Decisions”
The vision of IAFOR grew out of the perceived need to fill a vacuum in the communication and exchange activities of the academic
world. Its mission arose out of examining that space and investigating why it existed. The vacuum existed because of the lack ofopportunity for serious and thoughtful exchange between academics, members of the global business community, and practitioners
in the fields of human endeavor that linked these groups together. In the field of education, for example, we have academic theorists,
educational managers (political decision-makers and organizational directors) and classroom teachers with their support staff in IT,
library work, exchange programs, and specialist fields. But how often do they have the opportunity to interact?
Moving beyond one particular field, larger questions arise. What function should universities prioritize in the 21st century? What
do businesses see as their contribution to social and global well being? How can people on the ground, trying to implement
improvements that will transform human life, best be supported? And perhaps above all, what are the agendas that will drive
mechanisms to enable these groups to interact effectively.
One piece of distilled thought that came from early exchanges at one of our conferences was the recognition that some of therhetoric of concern about the problems of developing nations was perhaps over-focused on the term “poverty” because it can be
defined only in a relative way. “Hunger” was put forward as being more immediate and itself a contributory factor to poverty, rather
than the other way round. One key to the hunger issue could be the provision of safe drinking water, or water for irrigation in somecontexts, while flood management might be necessary elsewhere. These, in and by themselves become valuable only insofar as they
help to relieve hunger in specific contexts.
IAFOR is affording opportunities that do not exist elsewhere. The base is Osaka, Japan’s great commercial and manufacturing hub,
one symbol of the emerging Pacific economy that is already eclipsing the long dominant Atlantic zone. Our conferences present
those taking part with three unique dimensions of experience. First of all, it encourages interdisciplinary activity to be expanded.
Depending on the field, this can face varying degrees of difficulty, ranging from discouragement to downright prohibition. Those
overly dependent on fixed academic structures often see lateral thinking as a threat. None of these negatives apply in IAFOR. Its
purpose is to generate new approaches that cross any disciplinary lines. The principle employed is to let the imagination permit
intuitive responses to questions. There are no panels of critics. There are simply people who want to listen and reflect. The model ofacademic work as potholing is replaced by the metaphor of mountaineering. While respecting the need for solid and well-founded
academic work, we feel the need to go beyond it from time to time to discover fresh approaches to old questions.
Secondly, it facilitates the heightening of intercultural awareness. Again, we encourage innovation through cross-cultural perception.
Cultural roots influence people in their attitudes more than most would realize or admit. The need to see and internalize insights
gained from other viewpoints is met by a process of steady illumination.
Thirdly, it promotes the broadening of international exchange. We may live in a globalized world, but in reality parochialism still holds
sway. The collapse of the U.S.S.R and the break-up of Yugoslavia led to the re-establishment of numerous former countries. While
this may be desirable for the peoples concerned, it merely adds to the world’s cultural confusion. Exchange leads to explanation andthat helps the growth of intercultural awareness.
IAFOR makes all of these developments possible in one gathering. Our conferences are not a substitute for specialist conferences.
We intend our events to be an alternative that functions as a balance or even a corrective to the extreme tendencies that can arise
from more narrowly defined research parameters. In short, IAFOR is promoting and facilitating a new multifaceted approach to oneof the core issues of our time, namely globalization and its many forms of growth and expansion. Awareness of how it cuts acrossthe worlds of business, and academia, along with its impact on societies and institutions is one of the driving forces that has given
the organization its momentum, and is making it a pioneer in this global age.

Journals FAQ

IAFOR’s Open AccessPublishing Committment
IAFOR is committed to providing
ALL of its publications in online form
for no fee.
Researchers and scholars, regardlessof institutional affiliation and status,
can access our academic journals,
monographs, magazine, conferencematerials and special publications
for no charge, wherever there isinternet access.
IAFOR will never ask authors tocontribute towards publication costs,
or engage in other such publishingpractices which we believe
undermine academic independence
and integrity.

How are journal editors appointed?
Journal Editors are appointed by the International Academic Forum’s leadership, under the guidanceof the Chairman of the International Advisory Board. The term of appointment is for one issue, tobe renewed by mutual consent.
How do we ensure academic integrity?
Once appointed, the editor is free to appoint his or her own editorial team and advisory members.
All papers published in the journal have been subjected to the rigorous and accepted processesof academic peer review. Neither editors nor members of the editorial team are remunerated fortheir work. Authors will never be asked to “contribute” towards publication costs.
How are papers selected?
Journal Editors may accept papers through an open call, and proposed articles may be sent directly
to the respective editors. A small number of papers from the associated IAFOR conference
proceedings may also be selected by the journal editor(s) for reworking and revising subject tonormal processes of review. It is expected that between 5 and 10 percent of papers included inany given conference proceedings will be developed for inclusion in the associated conference
journal.
How are IAFOR Journals related to IAFOR conferences?
IAFOR’s journals reflect the interdisciplinary and international nature of our conferences andare organized thematically. Papers included in the associated conference proceedings may beconsidered for reworking by the editor(s), and would then be subjected to the same processes ofpeer review as papers submitted by other means.
