The Japan Association for Language Teaching, College and University Educators SIG
CUE consists of approximately 400 members throughout Japan. Our goal is to provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of educational activities, ideas and research of broad interest to College and University Educators. If you are involved in tertiary education and are committed to professional development, you are CUE, too! CUE also has a Facebook Group! Just search on FB for "JALT-CUE" under groups.

PanSIG 2010: Call for Presentations

Conference Theme: Learner Perspectives

Date: May 22-23, 2010

Location: Osaka Gakuin University, Suita City, Osaka


This conference is co-sponsored by JALT Kyoto Chapter and the following JALT SIGs:

  • College and University Educators (CUE)

  • Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL)
  • Extensive Reading (ER)
  • Framework and Language Portfolio (FLP)
  • Global Issues in Language Education (GILE)
  • Japanese as a Second Language (JSL)
  • Lifelong Language Learning (LLL)
  • Other Language Educators (OLE)
  • Pragmatics (PRAG)
  • Study Abroad (SA)
  • Teacher Education (TE)
  • Testing & Evaluation (TEVAL)


Types of proposals

Research in any area of applied linguistics will be welcome. Two types of proposals will be considered:

1. Reports on completed research
2. Works in progress (including completed research design and/or data collection)

Presentations will be 45 minutes in length (including 10 minutes for questions and answers). Preference will be given to those submissions that fit the theme of the conference and/or general interests of the SIG to which the submission is being made.

In particular, presenters that actually incorporate learners (or their voices /images/videos) are highly encouraged to submit!


Proposals

Contents:

(1) a 50-word summary,
(2) a 150-word abstract, and
(3) personal information (name, affiliation, contact details)


E-Mail Formatting

Subject line:

The subject line should read: Submission for (XX) where `XX'
is the abbreviated form of the SIG. i.e. (Submission for SA)

Important notice for CUE members:

The subject line of your email submission should represent which SIG most closely represents the topic or theme of your proposal.

For example, a study about graded readers would read “Submission for ER,” and a study about testing should read “Submission for TEVAL,” even if you are not currently a member of those SIGs.

This formatting is necessary for the abstract vetting process.


Format of the Proposal:

All proposals (paper presentation (45 minutes), workshops (120 minutes) and poster sessions) should be sent as an attached file. Two files types are accepted:

a) Microsoft Word document (.doc)

or

b) Rich Text File (.rtf) file format.

Note: Submissions made in any other form will not be accepted.


Send presentation proposals to:

submissions@pansig.org


Deadline:

February 15, 2010
