Many teachers consider continuing education in part-time Master's, doctoral, or graduate certificate programs essential to personal and professional advancement. However, these courses require significant time and financial commitments, and the balance of benefits to costs may be questionable.
This event will bring together current and former continuing education students from both distance and traditional programs to share and compare their experiences in a moderated panel discussion. The audience will also be welcome to ask questions and share their own concerns. Materials covering a range of different programs will also be available.
(Please note the venue for this meeting is different from the usual location Kyoto JALT uses for its meetings)
Kyoto JALT and the Learner Development SIG will be holding a joint event consisting of workshops and a roundtable discussion for language teachers of learners from elementary school age to adults.
Confirmed presenters include Ann Mayeda (Konan Women's University) who will be discussing learner autonomy and young learners, and Phil Brown (Konan Women's University) who will focus on developing learners' vocabulary strategies.
