Back to School 2017 is Osaka JALT's 7th annual spring mini-conference which aims to share ideas on a wide range of topics to help everyone in the new school year. With long and short presentations, poster sessions, and plenty of time to socialize (including a dinner party afterwards at a nearby restaurant), there is sure to be something for everyone. This year's Keynote speaker is Professor Gordon Bateson of Kochi University of Technology, who will be speaking about Gamification in the language classroom, and about Moodle.
