Back to School 2020
Osaka JALT's 10th annual spring mini-conference
(in Cyberspace this year!)
Back to School 2020 is Osaka JALT’s 10th annual spring mini-conference which aims to share ideas on a wide range of language teaching and learning topics to help everyone in the new academic year. There is sure to be something for everyone. This year, due to the Coronavirus, will be our first time holiding an event in Cyberspace, so it's sure to be a good learning opportunity all around.
The DEADLINE to submit a presentation proposal has been extended to THURSDAY, APRIL 30, with recorded presentations due on Sunday, May 10.
This year's event will again be co-sponsored by Osaka Jogakuin University's Research Institute of International Collaboration and Coexistence Research on Language Learning (RIICC).
In past years we've had two to three dozen presentations on many topics, from students, teachers, researchers, and publishers alike. To get a better sense of what to expect, here's last year's schedule, and abstracts.
Start and finish times are subject to change, and more information will be made available here as the date approaches, so please do check back later. We look forward to receiving your abstracts by April 30th and to seeing you there (actually _here_ in Cyberspace this year!) on May 24th!
