The 2023 JASAL Student Forum was held online on Saturday, June 10th and it was
attended by 13 students and 10 teachers/advisors/members of staff from 9
different universities.
We had very interesting discussions about the following questions:
- Why did you decide to participate in today’s event? What is your goal today?
- How do you study English? What kind of things do you recommend as a SALC
staff? - How do you recruit new students to your SALC?
- What kind of projects are you working on at the moment in your SALC? Any
problems you are dealing with? Any solutions you have found so far? - What did you learn today? What do you want to try in your self-access learning
center?
Student participants brought their unique experiences and insights into these
pleasant and meaningful discussions. Organizers of the forum were
really happy to see the students’ commitment to making their self-access learning
centers better. We, organizers of the event, hope that all the participants were
able to make some new acquaintances, strengthen their previous connections,
gain new insights, and become more motivated to continue the excellent
work they are doing in the field of self-access language learning in Japan.
