The image used for the cover of the ACLL/ACTC 2015 Conference Programme is from a woodblock print by
Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) from the series “A True Mirror of Chinese and Japanese Poetry” (shika shashinkyo). It pictures Chinese Poet, Li Bai (李白), admiring the Loshan Waterfall and was originally published around1833.

welcome to acll/actc 2015
Dear Colleagues,
It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the Fifth Asian Conference on Language Learning and Technology in the Classroom.
We hope to see many new and returning faces this year as these twin conferences grow and develop. One exciting development
is our move to this new site at the Art Center Kobe. Kobe is a truly international city and the Art Center is a welcoming andconvenient venue that puts some of the best parts of the metropolis right at our doorstep: from the peak of Mt Rokko to theenjoyable portside hospitality to be found around Sannomiya. Visiting Kobe will be a new experience for many of us, and wehope you are able to make the most of it.

“Integrated Practices: Creating Experiences to Enhance Learning,” is the theme of our conference this year. How can we
as educators and educational technologists create experiences worth integrating into our learners’ educations and lives?
How can we teach students to make sense of experience and connect it with instruction and inquiry in the classroom andonline? Vibrant, challenging, enjoyable, and difficult experiences are all at the heart of learning. By bringing together over 300
thoughtful educators from around the world, we will create an international, interdisciplinary, and intercultural experience thatwill become part of your professional and personal life, and that you can carry back and share with colleagues at your homeinstitutions. This conference should not end when you board a train or aircraft home, but should reverberate through our
teaching and research for months or years to come.That has certainly been our experience of previous Asian Conferences on
Language Learning and Technology in the Classroom, and we hope it will be yours.
I look forward to meeting you all.
With my warmest regards,

Dr Joseph Haldane, Ph.D. (London), F.R.S.A., F.R.A.S.
President, IAFOR

letter of welcome

Although many of you know that Kobe is famous for its Kobe Beef, you may not know it hosts the Kobe Fashion Week twicea year nor that there is a Jazz festival throughout the city in October. Kobe also lays claim to being the site of Japan’s first golfclub (1903), its first mosque (1935). the Kobe Regatta & Athletic Club (1870), and many foreign residences circa 1890s. And
now it is the site of IAFOR’s ACLL and ACTC conferences. But this is not unusual as Kobe, being a port city, has long had
plenty of international appeal. Within Japan it is known for its cosmopolitanism and there is even a quote, “If you can’t go to
Paris, go to Kobe,” referring to the Kobe Collection/Fashion show. While we may not go that far, (as fashion is beyond ourpurview) we are really glad you have chosen to join us in this first set of conferences in this beautiful city. But let us also talkabout the conference theme.

18:15 - 19:15, 6F Room 606
Art Center Kobe
Sake, or nihonshu, is the national drink of Japan. It is served
to celebrate the New Year and traditional Shinto weddings,
and enjoyed in small soba or yakitori restaurants everywhere.
Nihonshu exhibits some of the best that Japan has to offer: purewater from snowcovered mountains, high quality agriculture,
craftsmanship with great attention to detail, and a long history.
Sake
Sa comes in a wide range of styles and flavors and is aversatile drink that can be enjoyed on its own, or pairedwith a wide variety foods.
Unfortunately for many people, both in Japan and abroad,their first encounter with sake is a piping hot flask of amass produced industrial product. This can make it theirlast encounter as well. If this was your experience, getready for something entirely different. During this tasting
we will try artisanal brews made by hand and served
lightly chilled. There will be a short presentation
to give you the basics of sake brewing and enjoyment,
followed by a tasting session and a short tasting test.
It wouldn’t be an educational event without someassessment, right? I hope you’ll join us to learn about
this aspect ofo Japanese cuisine and culture. Youmight even want to bring some home for friends orfamily, so you will leave ready to make excellent
selections with confidence.

Featured Presentation: Using Mobile Technology in Information Literacy Skills Training to Enhance Students
Learning Experience
Learning essential information literacy skills through the use of mobile phones is an innovative mLearning pilot projectthat has been launched with undergraduate students.Thirteen mobile information literacy mLearning lessons have beendeveloped (http://beam.to/renmil), designed to demonstrate how to locate, evaluate, and use information effectively.
The Mobile Information Literacy Tool lessons include step-by-step videos, practical tips, links to online resources, andinteractive exercises to assist student in writing assignments and research papers. Students are encouraged to use
their smartphone and mobile devices to learn during short breaks or while riding a bus. An eight month research
project is being conducted with undergraduate students in five different classes majoring in psychology, social work,
education or social development studies to determine the effectiveness of using mobile technology to enhance
students’ information literacy skills and learning experience. The research study includes pre and post-test measuresand a questionnaire that will generate quantitative and qualitative data. Data analysis will indicate the degree of change
in frequency of mobile device information literacy access and fluency in digital literacy skills . Our research hypothesisis that digital literacy skills will increase with the use of the mobile technology information literacy eLearning project.
The presentation highlights the mobile information literacy innovation, a collaborative effort between faculty and the
Library, and includes the development and design of the mobile lessons, interactive exercises, and its applications.
We will discuss the success and challenges of the research project to support anytime, anywhere mobile training toenhance students’ learning experience.

Featured Presentation: Revisiting the Flynn Effect through 3D Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR)

The Flynn Effect, which identified the overwhelming improvement in IQ scores that took place during the second
half of the 20th century, has now become known to all. After many attempts to explain the phenomenon, it is now
widely accepted that nurture plays a major role in accelerating humanity’s cognitive skills. This paper attempts torevisit these explanations by reflecting on a decade long of studies conducted in one Virtual Reality Laboratory aimed
at better understanding the correlation between technology—more specifically, 3D Immersive Virtual Reality (3DIVR)—and the accelerated improvement in a variety of cognitive skills. These studies tested a few aspects of Flynn’ssocial and cultural explanations. We examined, first, whether it is possible to generate an even greater accelerationin the enhancement of various abstract thinking skills. We asked whether it is possible to improve skills even among
populations with congenital cognitive disabilities, and what is the most efficient way to accelerate the improvement.
And most importantly—we examined whether it is possible to improve concrete thinking skills as well, which Flynn
found not to have improved. The results of these studies cast solid doubt on Flynn’s explanations, suggesting that
advanced educational technologies, with their advanced interfaces, indeed generate an accelerated enhancement in a Featured Presentation
wide range of skills that the natural environment alone cannot account for.

Matters).
Keynote Presentation: Integrating Language Learning as Part of a Self Narrative
Second language (L2) learning takes time and effort. Successful learners are those who can keep working at it for a
substantial period of time while they have so many other things to deal with in their lives. Over the last five years, with mycolleague, I have been interviewing a group of Japanese university students we met in their first year and following theirlanguage learning trajectory: How they engaged in learning and maintained (or failed to maintain) their effort.
The focus of the study was on the development of their ideal L2 self, the images of themselves as successful language
learners and users that guide their behavior towards mastery of the language. Tracking the development and change ofeach learner’s ideal L2 self over the years revealed how the resilient learners integrated language learning as part of theirself-narrative – the stories that they tell themselves about themselves.
In this talk, I would like to share the stories of these learners that achieved varying degrees of success and how they
processed their experiences, used imagination, and adjusted their future self-imagery of themselves as users of the target
language.

Featured Presentation: How we talk about English Teaching (in South Korea)
In this session the presenter will share a look into how foreign English teachers discuss their teaching lives, teachingpractices and cultural encounters. Typical modes of communication including on and offline spaces will be examinedand highlighted.
Common topics and concerns of foreign English teachers will be explored as well. Additionally, we will consider how
teachers discuss their students, subjects, colleagues, workplaces and work. Particular attention will be paid to notionsof teacher identity and cultural identities. The questions of how and if these discussions enhance teacher or student
learning will be central. Based in South Korea, the presenter will use the foreign English teachers in the Korean EFL
context as a starting point for considering how English teachers tend to discuss their craft. A potential takeaway forattendees is a fresh perspective on the types of conversations they tend to have about teaching, regardless of theircontext, and the potential impacts of these on their own teaching.

Kristen Sullivan) the SiSAL Journal Special Issue on Self-Regulation in Foreign Language Learning. He has presented atnumerous conferences throughout the Asia-Pacific region.
Featured Presentation: Three things we can do to help all of our learners succeed
As language teachers we spend a lot of time considering what teaching approaches or methodologies to employ, andwhat materials and activities to use to best contribute to our learners’ language development. While it is natural for us
to prioritize pedagogical issues directly related to our field, we need to realize that so much related to our learners’
success is connected with the development of more general academic learning skills and strategies, and how we asteachers work to support this. In this talk, the presenters will draw from discussions in the larger field of education
to suggest three things all teachers can be doing in their classrooms to help all of their learners to succeed: fostering
self-regulated learning skills and strategies, incorporating learning-oriented assessment practices, and believing in thepotential of all learners.

Featured Presentation: TEDx and Augmented Reality - Informal Learning and International Exchange with Mobile
Technology
This year at TEDxKyoto, a new interactive team was assembled and geared to get participants more engaged withspeakers, vendors, and volunteers. We wanted to encourage more interaction between all stakeholders both inperson and virtually on-line. Looking to approach the idea on several fronts and link them all together we put together
a series of activities that have never been seen at TEDx events ever before. The result was an interesting mix that got
great reaction from participants.
The TEDx Program is designed to help communities, organizations and individuals to spark conversation and connection
through local TED-like experiences. The focus is on curating an interesting program of speakers and performers toengage audiences. Our team’s focus was creating activities for participants that encouraged interaction. One of these
activities revolved around the use of augmented reality and mobile technology. We created a smartphone applicationthat allowed participants to explore the venue in a fun and interesting way. This app overlayed digital information on Featured Presentation
physical things all over the event such as signs, artwork, volunteer T-shirts and the distributed speaker program.

Saturday, May 2

User analytics and participant observations were used to analyze activities. The experiment results point to several
opportunities for the use of this technology to bring people together in international social settings. Future challenges
surrounding technology acceptance and privacy also became apparent. We will explain how these technologies can be 17:30 - 18:00
used and how it might impact how people of different cultures and backgrounds interact at larger events.

INTERDISCIPLINARY

iafor“To Open Minds, To Educate Intelligence, To Inform Decisions”
The International Academic Forum provides new perspectives to the thought-leaders and decisionmakers of today and tomorrow by offering constructive environments for dialogue and interchange at
the intersections of nation, culture, and discipline. Headquartered in Nagoya, Japan, and registered as a
Non-Profit Organization (一般社団法人), IAFOR is an independent think tank committed to thedeeper understanding of contemporary geo-political transformation, particularly in the Asia PacificRegion.

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 Kansai, 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.
