The Listening Conference 2024

Call for presentation proposals now open

The Listening SIG, in affiliation with the Kyoto Chapter, is delighted to announce their third conference. The “Listening Conference 2024 – Learning, Teaching, and Research” will be a free one-day event taking place face-to-face at Campus Plaza, Kyoto on Saturday 13th July 2024 (TBC).

Our call for presenters is now open. We are looking for 20-minute presentations on topics related to listening and teaching, pedagogy, assessment, and resources. Presentations will be followed by a five-minute Q&A session. In addition to these three areas of research, we welcome other projects who mesh listening with other research areas.

Submissions are limited to one presentation (as lead presenter) per person. An individual presenter can present a total of two times to allow for a diverse selection of presenters.

This call for abstracts will close at midnight on 31st March 2024.

If you have any questions about the forthcoming conference, please email us at listening@jalt.org.

Conference Date: Saturday 13th July 2023 (TBC)
