About CUE

What is CUE?

CUE (College and University Educators) is a Special Interest Group (SIG) of the Japan Association for Language Teaching (JALT).

Founded in 1993, the CUE SIG has approximately 400 members across Japan. Each year, CUE sponsors featured speakers at various conferences and events such as the JALT International Conference and holds or co-sponsors events such as the 2007 CUE-Nagoya-Gifu Conference and PanSIG.

In addition, CUE publishes the refereed journal The OnCUE Journal twice annually, plus at least one special issue per year and quarterly e-mail newsletters.
