Preface
JALT2009: The Teaching-Learning Dialogue: An Active Mirror
JALT2009, the 35th JALT Annual International Conference, took place at Granship, Shizuoka; the program ran from 20-23 Nov 2009; and the unifying theme was The Teaching-Learning Dialogue: An Active Mirror.
To articulate the character and mission of the Conference Proceedings, we have from this year adopted the following as our Mission Statement:
The annual Conference Proceedings is to be a permanent record of papers presented at the conference that are likely to be useful and enlightening for teachers in practice, especially present and future JALT members. Such papers are likely to report on recent research and be well-founded on a review of previous publications.
Presenters at JALT2009 submitted 111 papers for publication, of which 83 have successfully passed through peer-review and editing to appear in these pages.
This passage through peer-review and editing is a reflective process that is, in itself, an active mirror and a teaching-learning dialogue. Such a dialogue is, of course, the richer if the teacher too is a ready learner — "by your pupils you'll be taught" (Hammerstein, The King and I, 1951) — which encourages us to see reviewing and editing too as learning roles.
Last year a majority of our editors were taking on the role for the first time; this year a majority of them volunteered again; and many others of our reviewers and editors have been contributing steadily, year by year. This rising pool of experience and expertise is a great asset. It is surely a sign of the good health of JALT, as a community of learners-and-teachers, that the efforts, skill, and inspiration of so many authors, reviewers, and editors have together brought the JALT2009 Conference Proceedings to fruition. Warm and respectful thanks to all of them.
