HomeIMPACT 2025 Integrating Multimodal Projects with Art and Critical Thinking
Saturday, December 20th, 2025, 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Speaker: Hosted by Craig Mertens (Kwansei Gakuin University) and Todd Hooper (Setsunan University); call for presentations due November 11th, 2025
This full-day, hands-on workshop empowers EFL educators in Japan to design and deliver creative, multimodal projects and lesson plans that promote critical thinking and English language output. Through collaboration, peer sharing, practical frameworks, and real-time project design, participants will explore how images, audio, video, literature, and drama can be used in the classroom to develop fluency, creativity, and reflection. By the end of the day, each group will have produced and shared a sample EFL project along with a supporting lesson plan that can be implemented into the curriculum of various EFL courses. For more information, see the event post on jalt.org.
