JACET 60th Anniversary Events
Since its establishment in 1962, JACET has
played a leading role in English education not
only in Japan but also overseas.
Initially, the JACET 60th Anniversary
Commemoration Week (Hiroshima, 2021) was
to be hosted at Yasuda Women's University by
the Chugoku-Shikoku Chapter. However, due tothe coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19), we
decided to conduct the event entirely online to
avoid concerns about postponement orcancellations. The theme of the Anniversary
Commemoration Week (Online, 2021) is"Reflection and Reconnection." Looking backAs the main speakers for the commemoration
week, we have invited Dr. Jihyeon Jeon (Ewha
Womans University, Korea; ASIA TEFL
President), Dr. Le Van Canh (Vietnam National
University, Hanoi), and Dr. Judy Noguchi (Kobe
Gakuin University; former Vice President of
JACET).
On the first and second days, the three main

speakers will give lectures at the 48th Summer
Seminar (Online, 2021). With the theme of“Changing Times, Changing Instruction,
Changing Materials: How Should We Respond?,”we will consider English education in this rapidlychanging era together with the participants. On
the third day, the 60th Commemorative
International Convention (Online, 2021) will beheld under the theme of “English Language
Education to Endure Changing Times: Facing
the Reality of Society 5.0.” In the morning,please join us for the first JACET Hours events.
There will be a number of symposia andworkshops proposed by JACET members,
supporting members, SIGs, and chapters,

creating a festive atmosphere. In the afternoon,join us for the opening ceremony of the 60th
Commemorative International Convention andplenary lectures, including a speech by the new
JACET president.
In the morning of the fourth and fifth days, wewill mainly focus on general researchpresentations. In order to make this event a truly
international one, we decided to invite a wide
range of participants from overseas incooperation with overseas affiliated academic
associations and AILA. Because the event is held
online, there is no need to worry about the
number of classrooms, so not only members but
also non-members are invited to offer proposals

Another 60th Commemorative event is the
publishing of two volumes of “The 60th JACET
Anniversary Overview (2012-2021).” The first
volume overviews the history of JACET from2012 to 2021. The second volume is a special
issue which covers the history of JACET's
supporting members. These two volumes will be
published within FY 2021.
This is a brief overview of JACET activities

for the first half year of FY2021. I will continue
to do my best to improve JACET and English
education in Japan during my last term in office.
I ask for the continued support and cooperationof all JACET members.

Report from the JACET Headquarters
Secretary General
Yukinari Shimoyama(Toyo Gakuen University)

We thank all of you for your academic andpractical efforts and contributions supporting
JACET’s progress throughout the year.
In 2020, due to the spread of the newcoronavirus infection, we had to cancel ourbiggest event in summer: the JACET 59th
International Convention. In December,
however, the 3rd JAAL in JACET Conference
was extended to two days and held online.
Despite the first large-scale online conference for
JACET, all the planned programs with 315
registered participants from Japan and overseas
were completed successfully. The conference
became a very active place for participants tointeract, even online, as “an academic exchange
meeting that created new connections and better
communication among researchers, researchgroups, and industry-academia collaboration.”
In 2021, JACET will safely and securely hostmany conferences, seminars, and other events inlight of the coronavirus situation. We hope all

JACET 通信―――――――――――――――＜4＞―――――――――――――――――3360

JACET members will take full advantage ofthese opportunities for professional development
and fruitful communication.
As of December 14, 2020, JACET had 2,339
members. We appreciate your continued support
and cooperation as we aim to make 2021 evenmore successful and productive for JACET and
its members. The significant events ofheadquarters in the academic year 2021 are listed
