Welcome Messages
Welcome from Zenkichi Kojima,
The Mayor of Shizuoka
I
would like to give a hearty welcome to all of those people attending the 31st JALT
Annual International Conference (JALT2005) in Shizuoka from around the world,
which is JALT’s fourth annual conference to be held in our city.
I believe that the great many of the research presentations and workshops to be
done during the conference under the theme of ‘Sharing Our Stories’ will provide
you with the wonderful opportunities to think deeply about education and increase
understanding of the field.
Shizuoka city is moving positively toward the internationalized city under the slogan
‘Shizuoka, Cooperative Society Opened to the World’. I am sure this conference will
give precious suggestions to our city. I also believe the results of this conference will
increase the progress of language education in Japan and promote international cultural
interactions.
In closing, from the bottom of my heart I hope for the success of this conference and the prosperity of JALT.
Zenkichi Kojima
Mayor of Shizuoka

Welcome Messages
Welcome from Marc Helgesen & Rob Waring
–2005 Conference Co-chairs –
W
elcome all! On behalf of the JALT2005 Organizing Committees, we extend to you a warm welcome to
Shizuoka. This is the fourth time we have held the JALT conference here at the Granship, and we hope
that this will be the best yet. We feel privileged to be Co-chairs for this conference because we are able to
bring our own abilities to the event, and we have tried hard to introduce several new features to JALT2005 to
make it more fun and more interesting for all. We feel confident that you’ll enjoy yourself.
The theme this year is Sharing our Stories. We have tried to interpret this in many different ways. Firstly,
JALT2005 is a place for the presenters to share their stories. To that end we have three fine plenary speakers,
Jennifer Basset, Torikai Kumiko and David Nunan, who will be able to share their insights with you. In
addition, there are many special events during the conference which are connected to this theme:
•
The Story Space on Sunday features storytelling activities.
•
Stories, Jazz, Wine & Cheese is a storytelling entertainment event on Sunday evening. Enjoy the cash
bar.
•
A Speaker’s Corner is a place for you to air your views on anything to anyone who will listen!
•
The Think Tank Live event is where the expert panelists will share their experiences and insights.
This is followed by the party (and you are sure to hear stories from old and new friends there). •
A Can We Talk? There is a discussion area on the sixth floor where presenters and participants can
talk after any presentation.
•
In addition to the hundreds of regular presentations, posters and symposiums, JALT2005 has
Discussion Sessions. In these sessions the presenter sets a few questions for the audience to discuss
and share their ideas with everyone.
•
The Ask the Experts session is on Sunday at 5 p.m. in the Chu Hall Lobby. Everyone is invited to ask
questions and share their stories with experts from many fields.
All this is in addition to the regular JALT events you have come to enjoy. We could not have been able to bring
you these things without the tireless and endless support of a small and very dedicated group of volunteers.
We are truly grateful to them for their tireless efforts and their spirit of generosity and willingness to give new
ideas a go. Without these people JALT2005 would not have been possible. We salute them all.
Please enjoy yourself, your visit to Shizuoka, and above all the JALT2005 conference. We hope that you can
return home fulfilled and ready to share your stories of JALT2005.
And now it begins…

Plenary Speaker Presentations
Plenary Sessions
• Infinite Riches in a Little Room:
Storytelling for Extensive Reading
• Presenter: Jennifer Bassett
• Sponsor: Oxford University Press
• Saturday 10:15 AM – 11:00 AM, Chu Hall
S
torytelling is all around us every day. Story is a basic principal of mind, an integral
part of our shared human experience. Reading fictional narratives gives learners the
opportunity to encounter extended texts, reinforces and enhances language knowledge
already acquired, and can be very beneficial for learner motivation. But the language level must be appropriate
for the learner's current competence, and the texts must be good stories. Writing language learner literature in
a reduced code is no different in principle from any other fiction writing; artifice and craftsmanship are still
required to shape events into a narrative. Good storytelling is paramount. For the extensive reading of stories
does more than bring pedagogical gains, and a good story is more than just an extended text. It is a window
to worlds, real or imagined, beyond the classroom. It is a chance to escape from task-oriented language into
that uniquely personal interaction between storyteller and reader––a chance for learners to make the language
their own.
Jennifer Bassett has worked in ELT since 1972, and for the last seventeen years has been writing and editing
stories for language learners. She is the series editor of the Oxford Bookworms, a series of graded readers with
over 160 titles, and also series co- adviser, with H. G. Widdowson, of the Oxford Bookworms Collection,
volumes of unadapted short stories. She has worked on syllabus design for writing in reduced codes, and is the
author of more than 30 original or adapted stories for English language learners. Her current areas of interest
are narratology and English as a creative medium for storytelling in World Englishes.
• Styles and Strategies in the Language Classroom
• Presenter: David Nunan
• Sponsor: Thomson Learning
• Sunday 11:25 AM – 12:10 PM, Chu Hall
A
growing body of research has investigated the learning styles and strategies of
language learners. One strand of research has sought to identify relationships
between biographical variables such as first language background and educational
experiences with learning strategy preferences. A second strand has looked at the effect
of strategy training on learners’ approaches to the learning process. A third strand
has looked at the notion of the good language learner. In this paper, I will present a state of the art look at
the learning strategy research that has been carried out over the last twenty years. I will then describe a
large scale study into the learning styles and strategies of university students in Hong Kong. This research
seeks to identify and describe the language learning practices of good learners that differentiate them from
less effective learners. The study is based on a corpus of data from several hundred undergraduates at the
University of Hong Kong and looks at the attitudes and beliefs of both effective and ineffective learners as
well as at their in-class and out-of-class behavior.
In the final part of the presentation, I will explore some of the pedagogical implications of the research, and
will describe some of the practical steps that teachers can take to sensitize learners to the strategies underlying
their own approaches to learning. Questions for further research and ways in which teachers can explore
styles and strategies in their own classrooms will also be presented.
David Nunan is Professor of Applied Linguistics and Director of the English Centre at the University of Hong
Kong. He has published over 100 books and articles in the areas of curriculum and materials development,
classroom-based research, and discourse analysis. He is one of the most prolific authors of English language
textbooks, with over 20 million students worldwide using his books yearly. He served as TESOL President in
1999-2000. In 2004, he was named as one of the thirty most influential Australian professionals working in
Asia, and in 2004, was named in a list of the most influential Australians worldwide.

Plenary Speaker Presentations
• National Language Policy at a Crossroads
• Presenter: Kumiko Torikai
• Sponsor: JALT
• Sunday 3:25 PM – 4:10 PM, Chu Hall
T
he national language policy in Japan is at a crossroads, swaying between the two
paradigms, namely globalism and national identity. To be sure, the Ministry of
Education has been at the forefront of language education reform in our country for
the past 10 years, culminating in their “Strategy to Cultivate Japanese Who Can Use English,” issued in
2002, and put into practice the following year as the “Action Plan.” The Strategy in 2002 is undoubtedly the
most comprehensive policy in terms of English language education in this country, starting from English
conversation classes in elementary schools to introducing listening-comprehension tests in the centralized
college entrance exam. The Ministry also aims at doubling the number of native speakers as Assistant English
Teachers in high schools, with a possibility of upgrading assistant status to full-fledged teachers. All these
policies and innovations are seemingly promising. However, other government policies would have to be
considered in judging the actual feasibility and its ultimate success. One example of contradictory government
attitudes is a set of policies concerning the Japanese language, including measures to combat flooding loan
words, the majority of which derive from English. There is strong anxiety both within the government and
among the general public about the quality of the Japanese language prevalent in the present society, which
might call for a new agenda in the overall language policy. Another illustration is a recent debate on elementary
school level education, which was triggered by unsatisfactory results in children’s achievements in major
subjects such as mathematics, science, geography, along with the Japanese language. The official discussion
has already started this year, and it would not be surprising if the Ministry of Education decided to shift gears
to remedy the situation. Admittedly, something like government policies seem far-fetched to us. Nevertheless,
in this lecture, attempts will be made to show how overall national policies might affect our teaching, and our
life, for that matter, and to shed light on some educational, social, and political issues vis-a-vis English language
education, so that we as language teachers would be aware of our positioning in the world of uncertainty today.
Kumiko Torikai has worked as conference interpreter, lecturer of English language programs on TV and radio,
language teacher, and .is the founding dean of the Graduate School of Intercultural Communication, Rikkyo
University, where she is professor of TESOL, as well as Interpreting/Translation Studies. Her research interests
focus on teaching English for communication, cultural issues in language learning, language policy, and English
as a Global Language. She is president of the Japan Association for Interpretation Studies, the Japan Congress
Convention Bureau, and a council member of UNESCO-affiliated International Federation of Translators. She
is, and has served, on various government committees, such as Central Council on Education, Japan UNESCO
Committee, National Council on Language, National Council on Tourism, National Council on Transportation,
and thus is familiar with different national policies in Japan, including one on languages. She has published
extensively, some of which include “Rekishi wo Kaeta Goyaku”(Mistranslation that Changed History) and
“TOEFL/TOEIC to Nihon-jin no Eigo-ryoku”(TOEFL/TOEIC Tests and the English Proficiency of Japanese).

ALT Junior, a mini-conference held within the international conference, focuses on teaching children
issues and topics. This two-day event is filled with presentations, demonstrations or workshops from
professionals skilled in child education, including publisher-sponsored sessions featuring well-known authors
of children’s material. Other features include the teaching children swap meet, lunch discussions and teatime
chats. Everyone is welcome to join for networking and exchanging ideas. Japanese teachers of children are
especially welcome at JALT Junior. There are sessions in Japanese as well as Non Native English Speaker
Teachers’ (NNEST) workshops, which require not much more than a basic understanding of English. If you
teach kids, some of these presentations may be highlights of the conference!
JALT Junior presentations take place in rooms B-1, B-2, B-3 and the Rehearsal Room
located in the basement (JALT Junior area).

NNEST: Non Native English Speaker
Teachers’ Workshops
A
gain this year we will offer Non Native English Speaker Teachers’ (NNEST) workshops, which you will
find to be theoretically sound as well as practical. These workshops are geared for nonnative Englishspeaking teachers who may not be ready for native-speaker-level interaction, but who, nonetheless, wish to
participate in the professional development opportunities that the JALT conference offers. Thus, in order to
ensure participants benefit from these workshops, presenters will use accessible English at an easier pace, and
will encourage greater interaction. Please note that since these sessions are intended for nonnative speakers
of English, native English speakers are welcome to attend but nonnative speakers will be given greater
encouragement to participate and contribute to discussions. Regular NNEST sessions will be held Sunday
afternoon in Room 909. JALT Junior TC NNEST workshops will be held in Room B2 at various times on
Saturday and Sunday. Please check your program for titles and presenters.

Conference Information
Job Information Center (JIC)
The Job Information Center (JIC) is actually a forum that makes it easier for employers with various needs
and teachers of various skills to find each other, (university and researchers to kindergarten professionals). We
facilitate job listings, interviewing on site, and offer resume help along with job market information.
Onsite Interviews
The JIC exists to help educators and employers find each other. Every year employers from both within Japan
and abroad send representatives to the conference to meet and interview with candidates on-site throughout
the weekend. You can drop off your resume and information to help these representatives find you. A
schedule of interview times will also be set up. We often do not know in advance who may come with the
intent to interview, so be sure to check back in regularly for updates. Informal meetings are bound to happen
as well, so don’t forget your cell phone! All of the schools that interviewed at JALT conferences in the past
emphasized the usefulness of the JIC. The majority of schools holding interviews on-site have hired teachers
found through us.
Resume Workshop
Not sure what prospective employers in Japan will be looking for or what format they prefer? Come to our
resume workshop led by Mark Zeid on Saturday, 5:30 p.m., in 1001-1. We’ll get you up-to-date and off to a
better start!
Onsite Job Ads with Email Forwarding to You!
Feel free to come and browse through the many positions printed and posted on our job boards. Positions
available are culled from numerous educator-listing sites, mainly from within Japan but also from around the
world. To help you quickly find what is pertinent to you, all postings will be arranged by prefecture locally or
by region internationally.
Our forwarding service is in its infancy, so please help us help you! All you need to do is simply note the
posting numbers of the jobs that interest you. We can record what you’ve selected at the JIC desk, create an
email on the spot and send the complete information on to you. If you do not have time to browse through
the ads at the conference, simply register with the JIC and we will email you our list of sites to access and
browse at a later date—at your leisure.
Courier Service
Given the reputation of the JIC, there are also schools that request to receive resumes from interested JALT
conference attendees. We can arrange to send, through our courier service, either your scanned, electronic, or
hard copy resume to the schools of your choice. We will have a MS-Word compatible Mac available with both
CD-ROM and floppy disk drives, and a printer and scanner on hand for just this purpose. Be sure to bring
your ready-to-send CV info along.
Visit the JIC! It may be just what you’re looking for! For further information, please contact Kent Hill at:

2005 Conference Proceedings: Call for Papers
JALT2005 Conference Proceedings: Sharing Our Stories
If you are a non-commercial presenter at JALT2005, then why not try submitting an article based on your
presentation for publication in the JALT2005 Conference Proceedings? The Proceedings is the official JALT
post-conference publication of papers submitted by presenters at the conference. In the same way that your
presentation was vetted prior to the conference, your conference article will be considered through a peer
review process. Publication in the JALT2005 Conference Proceedings qualifies as a refereed publication, and it
makes a contribution to foreign language teaching in Japan and abroad. We strongly encourage you to submit
an article! All articles must be submitted by November 30, 2005. Submissions can be made at <www.jaltpublications.org/proceedings/2005/>.

32nd Annual International Conference on Language Teaching
and Learning & Educational Materials Expo
— Community — Identity — Motivation —
November 2nd-5th, 2006
Kitakyushu International Conference Center
Kitakyushu, Japan
O
Deadline for submissions: April 28th, 2006
ur set of communities, identities, and motivations are dynamically changing throughout our lives. These identity shifts and
group affiliations do not come suddenly, for they are the work of activities undertaken in communities over time. Often, it’s
the work of dynamic and caring teachers, and so it is no wonder that teachers generally love it when students begin to say “I am
a user of English,” “I am a French speaker,” and “German is part of me” as it is a crucial step to competence. Community, identity,
and motivation are overlapping and are essential for effective learning. According to M.C. Bateson, “Participation precedes learning,” which implies learning is embedded by participating in an activity and identifying with the community.
Whether it is realized or not, communities can be the greatest motivating factor for language learning; indeed, Vygotsky’s
famous law of learning flowing from intermental to intramental would seem to be operative in our title as well. In communities we become aware of the world and certain choices socially. Intermentally, we have role models that we learn from and
construct our identities. We also learn to be motivated by the things that seem to matter to the people around us.
Who are you asking your students to be in your classes and how do you do it? What groups do they identify with and to
what result? What kind of a classroom community are you asking them to participate in and how? What are their motivations
and how are those related to their communities and identities? How can you as a teacher use this information to help you
understand them and help them learn more effectively? As teachers and researchers, we may want to take these questions to
our students and colleagues and let their voices ring in our presentations in 2006.

2005 Four Corners Tour
G
reetings fellow JALTers. This year we have an all new style
of Four Corners Tour for you. Originally the Four Corners
Tour was set up to take the main speakers on a tour of the outer
lying chapters to allow them to meet with and take part in
presentations which were available only to National Conference
goers.
Over the years this traditionally took place either immediately
preceding or immediately after the National Conference. In the
case of 2004, the Four Corners Tour wrapped itself around the
conference with speakers traveling up towards Nara prior to and
then away to the north and down to the south following the
conference.
Four
Corners
Tour
2005
As usual this tour would not have been possible without the
support of our Associate Members, in particular, Cambridge
University Press, The British Council, and S.I.T. Also, without the
coordination provided by Caroline Lloyd, and support from Mary
Burkitt and Ken Hartman in the north, it might have proved to be
a more difficult event to schedule. All sponsoring chapters worked hard and it would be remiss of me to forget
them here. Lastly, the speakers themselves were fantastic!
This year, the programme for the Four Corners Tour has changed, and although some of our speakers will be
presenting in and around the conference proper, the Four Corners Tour will take on a much larger and more
important outreach role. We are hoping to see more cooperation between SIGs (Special Interest Groups) and
chapters.
So far this year we have seen this outreach in the form of work between the Teaching Children’s SIG and
Hokkaido and Kagoshima Chapters, and work is underway for another event in Hiroshima very soon. There
is also a lot of work being put in to joint events between the Learner Development SIG and the Miyazaki
Chapter, the CALL SIG and a number of chapters andother groups.
However, for the main Four Corners Events around conference time the schedule looks like this:
From Mary Burkitt the Northern Coordinator ....
“The 2005 Four Corners Tour in Eastern Japan will feature the Asian Scholar presenting at this year’s
JALT Conference, Mr. Chamroeun Koun of Cambodia. He is expected to visit Toyohashi, Hamamatsu, and
Omiya JALT chapters before returning to Cambodia.
In northern Japan’s Tohoku area, Martha Clark Cummings, sponsored by Teachers College, Columbia
University, will be presenting at Yamagata, Akita, and Iwate Chapters. Martha is currently at the University
of Aizu in Aizu-Wakamatsu.”
From Caroline Lloyd the Southern Coordinator ...
“MacMillan sponsored Clyde Fowle will be traveling down from Shikoku to Fukuoka on his way out
of Japan. Chapters in Okayama, Hiroshima, and Kitakyushu are looking forward to welcoming him and
taking part in his presentations. Clyde leaves for KoTesol on the Friday.”
So, there we have it—a great line up for the upcoming conference leg of the Four Corners Tour, and many
other interesting SIG and Chapter-sponsored events coming your way.
For more information on times and presentations, please keep an eye on the JALT Event Calendar <jalt.org/
calendar/>, or contact Mary Burkitt at <[email protected]> or Caroline Lloyd at <[email protected]>.

Childcare at JALT2005
Due to the prohibitive cost of providing professional childcare services, we have made alternative
arrangements for those participants planning to come with children. A playroom has been reserved where
children can get away from the noise of the convention and relax. This will be an unsupervised room that is
all set up with things the kids can do. There will be lots of videos, board games, toys and art supplies that the
kids will be free to use. It is recommended that parents who are bringing very little children find someone
who can take care of their children while mom and dad goes to the presentations. We are sorry that the
previously announced service could not be arranged but we hope this alternative will be welcomed. For more
information contact Mary Virgil at <[email protected]>.
NOTE: Conference participants accompanied by children are expected to be fully responsible for their
children at all times. Regretfully, the Conference Committee, NPO JALT, and Granship can accept no
responsibility whatsoever for children at JALT2005.
Social Events at JALT2005
There’s a lot more to do at JALT2005 than sitting in on sessions all day. This year we also have more social
events than before, so give yourself some time to unwind and have a good time. Who knows what prizes you
may win or who you’ll meet. Here’s a look at some of our events:
President’s Reception (Friday 6:30 PM – 8:00 PM)
Is it Friday evening? Are you still on site? Then you had better follow the signs and make your way up to this
first social event of the conference. JALT’s President, Steve Brown, the Conference Chairs, Marc Helgesen and
Rob Waring, and the JALT Board of Directors invite all early registrants to join them for drinks and snacks
from 6:30 p.m. Meet this year’s Plenary Speakers and Featured Speakers and make a personal connection with
this year’s key people.
If you missed the party, we hope you to see you at next year’s reception in Kitakyushu. In the meantime enjoy
the other events.
ELT News Think Tank and JALT Conference Party (Saturday 6:30 PM – 8:00 PM)
Time to unwind and enjoy yourself. ELT News, Oxford University Press, Cambridge University Press,
Longman, Thomson and IFG Asia welcome all JALT2005 participants to enjoy the refreshments and live
entertainment. Don't forget to visit the sponsor's booths to collect drink tickets and a chance to win some
outstanding prizes. This is THE social event of the year for foreign language education in Japan, so make sure
to make your way to the back of the Educational Materials Exhibit area for an unforgettable evening.
Stories, Jazz, Wine and Cheese (Sunday 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM)
This wine and cheese party will feature storytelling by a variety of JALT teachers, authors and others. There
will be live music. The event has free entry and a cash bar. It is being sponsored in part by Oxford University
Press. We’ll be looking for you on the 1st floor exhibition hall, at the south end.
International Food Fair
Once again the International Food Fair will provide great world cuisine for the conference just outside the Dai
hall (west side of the EME). This year will feature foods from Korea, Australia, Mexico, Thialand, and serve
the conference from morning until late in the evening. Draft beer & wine will be served from the afternoon
and coffee from the morning. There’s plenty of tented and indoor seating to relax, network, or take a break
to plan out your conference schedule. No smoking inside the Granship, so we have provided a covered
smoker’s section outside at the IFF for your convenience. Be sure to include the IFF as part of your conference
experience!

“Sharing Stories From Abroad”
One of the reasons why our annual international language teaching and learning conference actually is
international is because of the many partnerships that JALT has formed with overseas language teaching
associations. Representatives from all our partners have been invited to share their stories with you in
Shizuoka.
You can hear some of the best stories our international partners have to tell at the International Forum
on Sunday from 17:30 in room 910. In addition to hearing from panelists visiting from Korea, Singapore,
Thailand, Russia, Britain, Canada and the US, this annual event attracts audience participants from the UAE,
India, Australia, New Zealand, the Philippines, Ireland, and a host of other countries. When our foreign guests
meet up with colleagues here in Japan, the discussion sparks creative ideas for EFL classrooms.
JALT members travel abroad to many places, so when they meet up at the JALT International Conference there
are many stories to learn from. To date, TESOL International only recognizes JALT as its official affiliate in
Japan. Our vice-president Steven Nishida traveled to this year’s TESOL conference to maintain this important
relationship. President Steve Brown brought back news and anecdotes from the Thailand TESOL conference.
Suchada Niminit, a past-president of Thailand TESOL is the affiliate director at TESOL, meaning our relations
with the world’s largest language teaching association have never been closer.
Last year, many JALT members and several directors including our Director of Records Mary Christianson
went to the Pan-Asian Conference (PAC) hosted by the Far Eastern English Language Teachers Association
(FEELTA) conference in Vladivostok. PAC brings together teachers from Korea, Thailand, Singapore, Russia and
Japan. The next PAC conference will be held in Thailand, so a PAC partners meeting will be held on Sunday
from 10:15 to 11:15 in Room 1001-2. Our National Public Relations Director visited the English Language
and Literature Teaching Association (ELLTAS) conference in Singapore, to solidify relations with our newest
partner.
In addition to Asia, many of our JALT members are interested in what is happening in EFL classrooms in
Europe, Africa, and South America so Hugh Nichol our National Membership Chair went to this year’s IATEFL
conference, which maintains nearly 100 partnerships with foreign affiliates. National Treasurer Peter Wanner
went to the annual conference of the English Teachers Association in the Republic of China that is held in
Taiwan, and for the first time he also went to the TESL Canada conference in Ottawa this year.
I’d appreciate hearing from you if you know of a language association who would like to become a JALT
partner. And if you have been abroad this year, or if you have in inkling to do so soon, we look forward to
hearing your story at this year’s international conference.

Special Thanks To Tokai University
Once again we find ourselves indebted to the generosity of Tokai University. They are very supportive of JALT
conferences in numerous ways: from the tents we use for the International Food Fair to the financial support
of conference publications such as this handbook. Of course, we cannot forget the hardworking staff that
has been so instrumental in making our conferences in Shizuoka a success. A heartfelt thank you to Tokai
University from JALT and the conference committee.

Children’s Literature For Oral Language Activities
Lado, Ana - Marymount University
11:10 AM — 12:10 PM (60
min.)
Rehearsal Room
Workshop
English
When teachers use literature that is above the
comprehension level of a beginner, instruction is frustrating
and inefficient. The student is dependent on the teacher
to understand and use the text. However, some children’s
literature can empower students to talk and practice
independently. Attendees will become familiar with
exemplary children’s literature for oral activities such as
TPR, Drama, and Chanting, and learn a system for selecting
literature for teaching beginners.

The purpose of this workshop is to introduce the fluencybuilding English-Please! Correction Method (EPCM), to
demonstrate it working, and to discuss how it can be
integrated into classes in colleges, schools or conversation
schools. It relies on the premise that story telling motivates
the learner more than textbooks, role-plays or open

This presentation is a report on how teaching songs can
promote a positive environment for language and culture
learning. Participants will learn activities and techniques
of using songs to improve learner’s language abilities, to
increase motivation, and to familiarize students with a
target culture. Learning and singing songs can be useful as

In this paper, I report on an ethnographic study of HS EFL

education, not doing yakudoku inevitably involves discourses
of resistance, generating strategic and sometimes subversive
teaching practices. I discuss how teachers establish authority
without using Japanese as a medium of instruction, and
deal with pressures generated by expectations to prepare for
entrance exams in traditional yakudoku style.

In curriculum change there is often a gap between a Ministry

We therefore need an intermediary between the Ministry
and the classroom. A candidate for that intermediary is the
institution where the curriculum change is taking place, the
school or the college. But for the institution to be a successful
intermediary it needs to be led by motivated people who
themselves can motivate others. The talk looks at the
characteristics of successful leaders and the role they have to
play in institutions if successful change is to take place.

consider this music’s original goal to emotionally transform
its audience and through it try to convey something to their

Imori, Kazue - Scholastic
10:15 AM — 11:15 AM (60 min.) Rehearsal Rm
Workshop
English
A reader reads some of the same words in almost every text.
These words are sight, or high-frequency, words. For an
emergent reader, these are need-to-know words. These highfrequency words control the flow and coherence of text,
and learning them is essential to becoming a fluent reader.
However, many sight words do not follow common rules of
spelling and are therefore not readily decodable. One way to
address this is through repeated exposure.

One aspect of pragmatic theory is Grice’s (1975) co-operative
principle. It is believed that knowledge of this principle is
necessary for learners of English to communicate effectively,
and the presenter will suggest ways in which such knowledge
can be taught. Many students have problems with making
the correct inferences in their conversations in English.
Knowledge of Grice’s maxims and associated pragmatics will

Used appropriately, before, during, and after reading
strategies will increase student learning, improve reading

the way that readers negotiate challenging text. Often our
students have not learned to internalize these strategies and
require explicit instruction when faced with demanding
reading selections. Reading assigned as homework may
be less challenging text. However, when our students face
unfamiliar or complex concepts and vocabulary, they need
guidance through the reading.

This presentation will reflect on the experiences of a group
of bilingual multi-ethnic Japanese teenagers in relation to
their school’s English Only policy. Using document analysis,
narrative interviews and focus group sessions, the study
highlights the constraints placed on the school’s policy with
regard to socio-pragmatic maxims of ambiguity, obscurity

Storytelling Technique for Language Teachers
Kowalski, Charles - Tokai University

oral storytelling, but had doubts about their own ability to
tell stories. However, academy award-level drama training
is not necessary in order to tell a good story. This workshop
will be an introduction to storytelling technique for language
teachers, focusing on developing participants’ natural talent
in voice, expression, gesture, memory, and other tools of the
storyteller.

Many classroom language games, relying on bald yes/no
answers, teach bad habits to language learners. They may
even conclude that this is how the foreign language is: more
direct or less sensitive than their own. Participants will have
a chance to invent and reflect on their own games. The
workshop will conclude with an account of the development

Multimedia and the Internet provide powerful and
motivating ways for learners to practice both inside and
outside the classroom. In addition, interactive white boards
allow us to integrate audio, video and the textbook, and to
customize and create our own material. In this presentation,
we will explore multimedia components from recently
published materials, demonstrate features of the interactive
white board, and show how this new technology can be
integrated with traditional classroom materials.

Workshop
English
The usual way of assessing speaking ability is for students to
perform various interviewer led tasks. An alternative method
is putting students into small groups of four students, have
them discuss a prompt amongst themselves, and rate them
based on their performance with no intervention from
the rater. This workshop will discuss the advantages of this
form of testing and then go on to demonstrate how it is
administered at Kanda University of International Studies.

English
This paper will report on research into reading strategies.
Ten university students were interviewed face-to-face and
asked to describe how they go about the task of reading.

Although the value of infomercials on late night television
may be debatable, they are fertile grounds for second
language development. This presentation will show why
infomercials are a must in any class focusing on oral
presentation skills. A good infomercial requires students
to attend to numerous aspects of the English language.
Moreover, the examples of students’ work will demonstrate
how enjoyable the whole process of writing and presenting
an infomercial can be.

Short paper
English
Literature is rich in meaning, and FL work with literature is
supposed to be valuable because of this: Interpretative work
is necessary to uncover literature’s rich meanings, and by
doing such work students can become better at interpreting
meaning in context. But what do students feel about
interpretative work? The research with short fiction discussed
in this presentation suggests that they value literature and
that interpretation plays an important role in their value
judgments.
Using Storytelling to Develop Thinking Skills

Forum
English
Teacher educator Parker Palmer holds spirituality to be
“the eternal human yearning to connect with something
that is larger than our own egos.” This inclusive definition
of spirituality defies the notion that spirituality is akin to
slavish devotion to a given religious doctrine. Panelists of
various faith persuasions will share stories of how their
spirituality has helped them forge meaningful connections
amongst learners, fellow educators, and classroom material
related to global education.
Using Learner Corpora to Teach Authentic English
Shirato, Junko - Hokusei Gakuin University
9:05 AM — 9:30 AM (25 min.)
907
Short paper
English
The presenters will describe how they compared a NNS
corpus with an established NS corpus. Results revealed that
the Japanese NNS differed markedly in many areas, especially
in their use of certain single word items and multiword
items, such as those marking vagueness (sort of/kind of) and
hedging. We suggest that learner corpora has important
pedagogical implications which include giving higher
priority to certain classes of vocabulary that appear to be
underused among Japanese learners.

On the Use of the Recall to Measure L2 Reading
Chang, Yuh-Fang - National Chung Hsing University
9:05 AM — 9:30 AM (25 min.)
1101
Short paper
English
One of the major criticisms concerning recall protocols is
that they require memory. While the recall protocols has
been criticized as requiring memory, how the requirement
of memory in recall protocols biases our understanding of
learners’ reading comprehension ability and then limits its
validity as a measure of reading comprehension remains
unexplored. This study attempts to fill this gap.

give literal senses before metaphorical senses, but the
connection is not always clear. This workshop will look at
metaphors in a range of texts and teaching materials, and
discuss ways in which learners can be helped to understand
metaphors and to use them.

Workshop
English
Learning how to appropriately disagree, refuse, complain and
make requests is an important part of communicating in a

between teachers and students means that students are
unwilling to participate in negative interactions. No student
wants to offend his teacher. How then can learners practice
these elements of communication? This workshop presents
teaching strategies and classroom activities that circumvent
the imbalance, enabling students to rehearse negativelyoriented interaction.

Poster Session
English
This study analyzes Japanese EFL students’ self-awareness
in English learning areas. About 30% of 146 students in a
Japanese university felt that listening was the strongest skill:
however, their self-judgment and listening test performance
were negatively correlated. Still, this relationship in reading
showed a positive correlation. This indicates great difficulty
of self-analysis in aural skills. This poster will schematically
and graphically discuss this issue in educational psychology.

The presenter has conducted research into the question
of links between student motivation whether intrinsic or
extrinsic - and a preference for certain pedagogical activities.
For example, if a student is intrinsically motivated to study
English for the purpose of making English-speaking friends,
does this student prefer listening activities to reading
activities in the classroom? The results demonstrate that
motivational types may in fact influence preference(s) for
specific pedagogical activities.

Education
Cultural awareness as an essential component of language
teaching has been well established; however, there is
some contention as to how and what to teach. Typically
teachers and texts introduce only biased, out-of-context
and irrelevant examples or tourist or target culture rather
than the deeper understanding students need to improve
communication skills. This presentation will model and
describe several activities, incorporating ethnographic
research methods to empower students, raise awareness and
develop intercultural communicative competence.

One formidable challenge in the classroom today is finding
a way for students to show you what they have learned. The
museum piece uses material that has been covered in class
as a starting point for the students to begin a pair-based
research project. This presentation shows examples of how
students have used this inquiry-based strategy to find and
prepare a topic both of interest to them and related to the
readings from class.
Can Japanese College Students Speak English?
Sonda, Nozomu - One World International
1:05 PM — 3:15 PM (120 min.)
Tenji Hall
Poster Session
English
Can Japanese students speak English? The presenter’s answer
is Yes! Eighty high-beginning students participated in the
researcher’s English Speaking class and demonstrated their
fluency in speaking English. The rationale was that college
students have learned basic rules of English (in books) but
never really acquired them by using them (i.e., speaking). We
will discuss implications of Japanese English in classrooms
and share participants experiences.
Teaching English Using One-Act Plays
Takizawa, Karen - Hosei University
1:05 PM — 3:15 PM (120 min.)
Tenji Hall
Poster Session
English
Studying and performing a play can be a rewarding
classroom experience that involves all four language skills
(reading, writing, speaking, and listening) plus culture study.
For the teacher, one of the main problems in using plays in
foreign language classes is finding material that is suitable.
Discussion at this session will include everything from
casting a play without hurting anyone’s feelings to adapting
inappropriate/embarrassing/objectionable language and
scenes in plays written for native speakers.
An ice-breaking activity can help to create a positive learning
environment, therefore making the class successful. The
presenters will introduce several ice-breaking activities which
are designed from the core ideas of Social Skill Training and
Structured Group Encounter. The activities introduced aim
both to promote learner’s language performance. Suggestions
will be given in how the activities may be adapted for
language classes and how the teachers may give comments
or feedback to the learner’s possible reactions.

Junior/Senior High School: Global Issues in Education
Even in the context of the growing adaptation of global
issues related to peace education, students often remain
indifferent to topics mainly due to the lack of content

of regalia and teacher designed handouts, it was observed
that students became aware of the issues. In this presentation
teaching methodology focusing on such global issues as
child labor, the Kyoto Protocol will be described.

What can we learn from indigenous language maintenance
and language revitalization? Globalization, colonization,
and commercialization are common vehicles of exploitation.
Little attention has been paid to the battle that indigenous
cultures must fight in order to exist. Survival is the name
of the game. How can indigenous cultures maintain their
own language use when foreign languages are encountered?
What models of language maintenance or of language
revitalization exist? It is hoped that participants will share
their experience, expertise and stories.

Can We Talk?
You have all probably had the frustrating experience
of getting to the end of presentation, knowing there
was more to say and many more questions to ask...
but time just ran out and the next presenter is eager
to set-up. This year, we are offering presenters and
attendees a “Can We Talk” space on the 6th floor
of Granship outside Koryu Hall. Look for the signs!
If that space is full, try the lobby areas on the 10th,
11th, and 12th floors, or the lobby of Chu Hall
on the 1st floor. Alternatively, why not relax over
good food and drinks at the International Food Fair
outside Granship.
