Preface

On JALT2004: Language Learning for Life

The theme of the JALT2004 conference was Language Learning for Life. This volume celebrates the wide range of papers, workshops, demonstrations, and poster sessions on offer at the conference addressing language learning from childhood to the golden years, with a special emphasis on the evolving Japanese context.

Some of the papers in the Proceedings have been categorized according to whether they focus on issues of concern to the teacher, the learner, or the language. Papers addressing approaches to instruction have also been grouped together. Other categories include Teaching with Technology, Of Global Importance for Learners and Teachers, Reading and Writing, Testing and Evaluation, and Teaching Languages Other than English. The broad range of contributions reflects current issues and practice in the field of foreign language instruction as reflected by the conference concerns.

Here, in the most extensive Conference Proceedings published to date by the Japan Association of Language Teaching, are over 100 papers in which we hope you will find information and ideas to support and inspire you in your teaching and research. We also hope that this volume inspires further research by those involved in the language education of very young or elderly students, as well as those teaching in non-traditional or evolving contexts.

We owe our sincere appreciation and gratitude to the team of volunteers who worked tirelessly to bring the Proceedings to press: Nigel Henry, Robert Betts, Robert Long, Robert Taferner, Scott Gardner, Theron Muller, Megumi Kawate-Mierzejewska (Japanese Editor), and Michael Schart (German Editor), our Reading Committee, and, finally, the authors.

We look forward to Sharing our Stories in the Proceedings of the JALT2005 conference.
