looking for research participants
I am conducting a research project with university educators across Japan who teach using anti-oppressive, social-justice-oriented, inclusive, and/or global citizenship education teaching methods. I am specifically interested in learning from teachers who teach either a) English courses, or b) pre- or in-service teachers how to teach English.
I will use the information learned to add to the data I collected from 20 university educators across Canada who teach using similar methods in an ELL context, as a means to seek a more nuanced and epistemologically anti-oppressive understanding of how such approaches are used in different parts of the world.
If you or someone you know is interested and fits the description, please email me and I will share an information letter that outlines the research in much more detail. In short, I will ask you to read the info letter and consent to the research, complete a short survey (~10-15min), and participate in 1-2 interviews (between April-June 2023). Please feel free to contact me for more information about the project (funded by JSPS’s Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research/KAKEN). Participants will receive a ¥2000 gift card for their time.
Call for Hear Us Out! – The Listening SIG Podcast
The Hear Us Out! podcast explores many ideas concerned with the teaching of listening and learning from listening. If you would like to share some of your research, chat about some teaching ideas, or take part in an episode, then please contact us at listening@jalt.org.
Call for The Listening Post journal
The Listening Post seeks quality, empirically-based and theoretically-focused articles on listening research methods, the teaching of listening and the learning outcomes from listening in various language learning contexts. Submissions related to listening and other language skill development and/or other complementing components (i.e., resources) that are related to second and foreign language acquisition, will be considered.
Please send your submissions or contact us to discuss your idea at listening@jalt.org.
