JALT2011 Conference Proceedings
The 36th annual JALT International Conference was held on November 18-21, 2011 at the National Olympics Memorial Youth Center in Tokyo, just eight months after the Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami devastated the north-eastern coast of Japan. A moment of silence was observed in the opening ceremony of the conference in memory of the many victims. In spite of the somber moment, the conference was no less dynamic and successful than in previous years. Under the conference theme of Teaching, Learning, Growing, over 350 presentations, forums, and posters were featured, covering a wide range of topics and representing all aspects of language learning and teaching.
After the conference, 89 papers were submitted to the Conference Proceedings, each of which was anonymously reviewed by three expert readers. A total of 74 papers have made it through the rigorous review and editing process to be published here. As in previous years, our aim has been to try and include as many papers as possible in order to provide a comprehensive snapshot of the conference. At the same time, we have endeavored to ensure the highest possible quality of research and writing in the papers published. As co-editors, we would like to express our heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to the extremely hard-working authors, reviewers and editors who have shared this commitment to excellence and have contributed to its realization in these Proceedings.
Finally, we wish to thank you, the reader, for your interest in these Proceedings, and sincerely hope that you will enjoy reading them.
