Foreword
Masaki Oda, PhD
President of JACET(Tamagawa University)

For many of us who are with academic
institutions in Japan, our second academic year
under the pandemic is coming to an end. In thepast two years, our life has changed a lot, andEnglish Language Teaching professionals havebeen working hard to catch up with the change inorder to meet the needs of learners. As reported
in the previous issue, I took over the role of the
JACET President from my predecessor, Prof.
Hajime Terauchi in June 2021. At the end of his

six-year term, the previous board of directors(some of whom including myself continue toserve as members of the current board of
directors) had left recommendations for futureplanning of JACET administration, based on
which we begin to restructure our organizational
structure, taking the changing atmospheresurrounding ELT in higher education in Japan
into account. While, some parts of the plan havealready been reported in previous issues, I would

JACET 通信―――――――――――――――＜1＞―――――――――――――――――――3422

like to take this opportunity to present you ourplan for 2022 as it is the first time for us to do soin English.
Following the recommendation by theSpecial Committee on Future Planning, JACET
is aiming at reorganizing its administrative
structure step by step and at present the priority is
to decide how we are going to hold our annualinternational conventions. JACET has sevenregional chapters, and in the past 13 years, wehave rotated chapters from North (Hokkaido) toSouth (Kyushu-Okinawa) to host our annual
conventions. Each chapter formed a local team
who worked closely with our International
Convention Steering committee. Our upcoming
61st International Convention was to beorganized by the Kyushu-Okinawa chapter
following the rotation. However, we havedecided to organize a committee consisted of themembers from the Kyushu-Okinawa and theheadquarter as the convention will be held online.
We all hope the situation will improve in 2023.
At the same time, we have to prepare ourselves
to be capable of organizing traditional face-toface conventions, online conventions or a
combination of both in the years to come.
Therefore, the top of the list for a reorganization
plan is to decide the format of the conventions
and reorganize the committees concerned
accordingly.
Once the format has been decided, therefore,
we will review the list of jobs performed by eachof our committees and try to consolidate some ofthem for more effective use of human resources.
The list includes but is not limited to researchpromotions, publication, and/or collaboration

with academic organizations both in Japan andoverseas.
It is very important to note that many of ouractivities are done by individual member
volunteers, most of whom are teaching at
institutions, and by our supporting members.
Therefore, we constantly need more volunteers
from our members who can help us with various
JACET activities.
JACET is one of the largest organizations inEnglish language teaching with around 2,200
members. Increasing membership is important.
As the president, however, I would also like to
ask more members to consider getting involved
with chapter activities, conferences includinginternational convention, seminars as well as
JAAL in JACET meetings so that we can share
duties, and consequently, allocate tasks more
effectively in order to catch up with the changing
social atmosphere surrounding ELT.
JACET administrative matters are discussed
and decided at 理事会 (Board meetings) which
are held six times a year. We used to have face toface meetings in Tokyo which required board
members to travel during the time classes are insession. Due to the pandemic, however, we held
five out of the last six meetings online which
turned out to have saved expenses as well as
travel time. (We had to hold the June 2021
meeting face-to-face as required by law). On theother hand, we had to spend more financial
resources to renting equipment for online
conferences, and more frequent online meetings
have been necessary in order to ensure
everything works fine.
During my term as the president, we will

JACET 通信―――――――――――――――＜2＞―――――――――――――――――3423

constantly reflect on our activities and optimize
our activities for the benefits of our members.
This will be a collaborative ‘project’ involving
individual and supporting members as well as
JACET Board members. We would strongly
appreciate your cooperation.
