Call for Speakers

Held two to three times each year, each webinar in the OJO series is built around a central theme or concept, providing opportunities to explore ideas from multiple perspectives. Individual presentations are 20–25 minutes in length, followed by a brief Q&A if time allows. The event concludes with extended breakout-room discussions, giving presenters and participants the chance to exchange ideas, ask questions, and build meaningful professional connections.
We welcome webinar proposals on topics related to language education and teaching in Japan, including but not limited to:
- Research findings related to English language teaching and learning
- Second language acquisition theory and pedagogy
- Special interest topics (such as ESP, CLIL, CALL, etc.)
- Teaching in Japan across all educational contexts
- Bilingual and multilingual education
- Language teacher education, professional development, and teacher wellbeing
- Applied linguistics and language development
- Inclusive education, accessibility, and diversity in the classroom
- Curriculum design and materials development
- Practical classroom activities and practice
- Intercultural communication
- Motivation, learner autonomy, and learner wellbeing
- Educational leadership
- Innovative teaching ideas and resources
- Discussions of research-in-progress
Proposals may report on concluded original research, in-progress research projects, classroom practice, teaching innovations, reflective and theoretical perspectives on language teaching or teaching in Japan, or practical workshops. Proposals will be considered on the basis that they are relevant to language educators and/or researchers, educators in the Japanese teaching context, JALT chapter and SIG members, and the wider education community.
