Autonomy and Motivation: Empowering Learners and Teachers
Day: Sunday, November 17th
Time: 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM (60 minutes)
Room: Rehearsal Room (B1)
Mark your calendars! Join us at a special forum at the upcoming JALT International Conference.
After a brief introduction, there will be three short presentations showcasing how colleagues in Japan are empowering learners by focusing on leadership, autonomy, and motivation. We will see examples of classroom activities and outside-class support that remove barriers and help students to thrive. After that, we will look at how teachers feel empowered through professional development, particularly by collaborating with others and publishing their work. Meet some of our editors and authors and find out more about publishing with us.
