JASAL had a busy weekend! On Friday there was a tour of the self-access centre at Akita International University. Take a look at the photos! And on Saturday we held an open discussion forum at the JALT PanSIG 2017 conference, attended by around 40 people and led by Andy Tweed. Photos and details here. Thanks to everyone who attended, and thanks, Andy, for all your hard work in making both events successful.

On Friday, May 19^th, 2017 Akita International University (AIU) will host a tour of their self-access center, known as the Language Development and Intercultural Studies Center (LDIC). This is the Friday before the JALT PanSIG conference. For more information, and to register, go here.

Thank you to everyone who made the JASAL 2016 Conference at Konan Women’s University last Saturday (10th Dec 2016) such a success! It was great to see so many passionate and dedicated people, both from established and newer self-access centres, sharing ideas and making connections. We hope to see you all at more JASAL events in the future!

We will be adding photos and PDFs from the presentations to the conference page in the coming days, so watch this space.
