JASAL are delighted to announce that this year we can offer grants to attend the annual conference, which this year will be a joint event with Sojo University Teaching and Learning Forum and held in Kumamoto on Saturday December 15th, 2018. We have grants for undergraduate student presenters, and grants for newcomers.

JASAL will offer:
-Student Grant: ¥50,000 each for up to 3 undergraduate student presenters from outside Kyushu (can be presenting together or separately).
-Newcomer Grant: ¥20,000 each for up to 2 non-undergraduate first-time attendees (no need to be a presenter) to JASAL and SUTLF events/conferences with no research budget traveling from outside Kyushu.

If selected:
-Recipients should submit an estimate of expenses (details will be given to selected persons later).
-Recipients will pay up front and be reimbursed in cash on the day.
-Recipients are asked to write and submit a report (approximately 1,000 words) on the conference.
-Recipients will need to confirm by a certain date, and register for the conference. If they fail to do so by the date specified, they will not be able to receive the grant and it will be offered to another candidate.

JASAL2017 follow up

Happy New Year everyone! Thanks for your support over 2017, and a huge thank you to everyone who participated in the JASAL2017 conference in December. It was wonderful to see so many people gathered from all round Japan and from around the globe, and it was really stimulating to share our current research and activities.

We have a couple of announcements for those who participated in JASAL2017. First, we wanted to let you know that a couple of personal items were found at the conference site. If you lost something on that Saturday could you please contact us so that we can make arrangements for you to get the item back? In the email, please tell us what it is that you lost, so we can send it to you: jasalorg@gmail.com. KUIS will keep the items until the end of January.

Second, we’d like to announce that there will be a special issue of SiSAL journal (coming out in June 2018) with papers from JASAL2017. Participants as well as presenters can submit. The Call for Papers is here.

We are looking forward to your submissions!
