PanSIG2025 will be held May 16-18 2025 at Kanda University of International Studies in Mihama Ward, Chiba City, Chiba Prefecture.
The Teacher Development SIG is inviting researchers, instructors, and practitioners to submit proposals for our forum at PanSIG focused on autonomy and agency in language education.
The forum will highlight approaches and experiences with fostering learner autonomy and agency in educational settings. This topic is especially timely as we recognise that our learners often demonstrate a strong sense of both individual and collective engagement in their learning, while also expressing a desire for greater freedom in their learning journey.
Possible themes for the forum include:
- Blended learning
- Collaborative learning and peer-to-peer interactions
- Critical pedagogy and critical thinking
- Formative assessment and feedback practices
- Learner autonomy and learner-centered approaches
- Metacognitive skills and reflective practices
- Self-regulated and self-directed learning
- Teacher autonomy and teacher agency
We welcome a wide range of perspectives on these themes and encourage submissions from both new and experienced presenters.
Presentation Format:
- Presentations will be either 20 or 30 minutes in length (depending on number of presenters) followed by 10-15 minutes of discussion time.
- Forum discussions are interactive by design, and we encourage presenters to incorporate engaging elements such as scaffolded rounds, collaborative tasks, or other creative formats to encourage participant involvement.
Submission Process:
After submitting your proposal through the Google Form, you can expect feedback within 1 week of your submission. If your proposal is accepted, we will support you throughout the presentation process to ensure you have everything you need for a successful session.
You can submit your proposal via the Google Form until March 10th. Please email jalt.td.sig@gmail.com if you have any questions.
