Come to Hiroshima for JALTCALL
2002:
Local Decisions, Global Effects
Timothy Gutierrez, Fujishima Naomi, & Iwai Chiaki
The JALT CALL SIG invites you to participate in its 7th Annual International Conference, JALTCALL 2002: Local Decisions, Global Effects, to be held at Hiroshima Jogakuin University on Sat 18 -- Sun 19 May, 2002 (with special events on May 17 and 20). Themes explored in conference presentations -- online, poster, and traditional -- will be the global effects of teacher, student, and administrative decisions concerning CALL and their influence on intercultural understanding, environmental and social change, and personal transformation and growth.
At Pre-Conference Workshops, participants will learn how to put video lessons on websites (Brian Teaman) or use the English-learning software available at Hiroshima University's new multimedia facility (Joseph Lauer). The workshops are FREE to registrants of the weekend conference, but only for a limited number of participants. Apply in advance using the delegate registration form at: <jaltcall.org/conferences/call2002/reg/delegate-e.html>. An opportunity for casual interaction will be provided by a pre-conference lunch (only 780 yen/vegetarian option available) on May 17 at the Cotton Club Restaurant. Conference fees are 5,500 yen for one day or 9,000 yen for two days, with discounts available to JALT/ JACET members and students.
As more and more schools are introducing technology into the classroom, this conference will provide participants an opportunity to network with individuals who might be farther along in dealing with these issues and offer suggestions and innovative ways to teach and learn. For assistance on any matters related to the conference, please email the conference chair at <confchair@jaltcall.org>.
If you are not a member of the JALTCALL SIG, please consider joining and enjoy the many benefits: a subscription to the quarterly newsletter CALLING JAPAN, discounts at JALTCALL sponsored events, and preferential prices/complimentary copies of JALTCALL publications. Contact our membership chair at <jtomei@kumagaku.ac.jp>.
To find out more about the conference and for information on traveling to Hiroshima and cultural or entertainment events you can enjoy while there, go to <jaltcall.org/conferences/call2002/>.
