On JALT96: Crossing Borders

The Japan Association for Language Teaching, perhaps Asia’s largest professional language teaching organization, is proud to offer On JALT96: Crossing Borders to the language teaching community. JALT hosts the largest annual international conference in the region on language teaching and learning, bringing noted scholars and teacher trainers to Japan from around the world, and offering more than 250 presentations on the art and craft of language teaching as well as leading edge research in the field.

On JALT96: Crossing Borders, brings to language educators a snapshot of the conference highlights. The editors have compiled a wide-range of articles grouped into thematic areas covering topics such as teacher development, classroom practice, technology in the classroom, and culture. There is also an introductory section with articles by two of the plenary speakers, Julian Edge and Braj B. Kachru, and a section devoted to the UNESCO Linguapax delegation that was a special part of JALT96.
