JALT2010 Conference Proceedings
Creativity: Think Outside the Box means thinking innovatively, creatively, and critically about language learning and teaching. As the theme for the JALT2010 annual conference held at Winc Aichi in Nagoya on 19-23 November 2010, it provided the impetus for a wide range of thought-provoking and stimulating presentations, posters, workshops, forums, and plenaries by teachers and researchers from Japan and overseas, as well as the latest publications of teaching materials.
As a record of the conference, this year’s Proceedings include 81 original papers. A record number of people have contributed to bringing these papers to publication. The peer review system has been expanded so that each paper was reviewed three times. In addition, five new editors have joined the team, three of them under the mentorship of Theron Muller. Our continued aim in the Proceedings is to expand and enhance the level of expertise of researchers, writers, editors, and reviewers within the JALT community. At the same time, we strive to ensure that each paper is written and presented to the highest possible standard. To achieve this balance requires all of us to think innovatively, creatively, and critically, and I wish to thank everyone who has contributed to these Proceedings for rising to that challenge.
On a darker note, these Proceedings have come out under the shadow of March 11. Some of the authors and those involved in the editing process have been directly affected by the devastating Tohoku earthquake and tsunami. I applaud the determination and courage of all those who continued to work to deadlines in spite of the disruption to their lives. The spirit of responsibility and commitment that I have been privileged to see bodes well for Japan’s recovery as a whole, as well as for the ongoing development of innovative and inspiring language education for our students.
