Preface
On PAC7 at JALT2008: Shared Identities: Our Interweaving Threads
JALT2008, the 34th JALT International Conference, was held concurrently with two other major international events: PAC7, the Seventh Conference of the Pan-Asian Consortium (an association of language teaching associations based in east and southeast Asia); and the Sixth Asian Youth Forum. The overall theme was Shared Identities: Our Interweaving Threads; the venue was again the National Olympics Memorial Youth Center, situated next to Yoyogi Park in Tokyo; and the program ran from 31 Oct through 3 Nov 2008.
The exciting cosmopolitan atmosphere, the brightly colored fabric of live discussion and engagement with so many colleagues from around Japan, from Asia, and around the world... all inevitably fades in our memories.
It is the mission of this volume, the PAC7 at JALT2008 Conference Proceedings, to provide a faithful academic record, and preserve it as a resource into the future. For all who enjoyed attending the live program, the papers published here may seem, by comparison, impersonal and abstract—but they are of course less ephemeral, and a finite distillation of the observation, thought, creativity, and argument expressed in the four days of the conference.
The annual Conference Proceedings seems destined to be JALT's largest single publication year by year. Altogether, about 150 papers were submitted for inclusion this year, of which 120 have carried through successfully into publication.
These papers have passed repeatedly through critical review, firstly by anonymous reviewers—our Editorial Advisory Board—and then by the writers themselves, in consultation with our Associate Editors. More remarkable than the large number of papers is this large number of committed and talented volunteers who all invested their autonomous good judgment, but cooperated to weave this volume to completion.
Autonomy is deservedly a much discussed concept in these pages; likewise the question of focusing on meaning versus form. Many of the writers seemed more inclined to focus on their meaning, not always holding formal accuracy in equal esteem. Even so, through the editing process, we have aspired to match the high standards of accuracy set in other more compact JALT publications. Many thanks to all who patiently took part in this effort.
