Speaker: Von Holt, Andrew Oberg, Jennie Kern, Kaoru Watanabe, Sean Burgoine, Maiko Ogasawara, Charlie Robertson, David Grant, Mike Sharpe

This is the second of a two-part series of events aimed at supporting young teachers and researchers in our chapter who have limited experience in publishing and presenting. Diverging from our usual conference style of having a featured speaker present on an aspect of language teaching, this workshop has brought together the excellent human resources available in East Shikoku in a workshop-style event where veteran teachers provide tips, guidance and support for our very active younger teachers who are interested in pursuing academic careers in language teaching.

At this, the second stage meeting, our first time presenters will show the results of this collaboration. They will speak in the standard formal academic setting, 20 minute presentation 10 minute Q&A session:
