JALT Research Grants: How to Succeed in Applying

In this forum, participants will learn about the JALT Research Grants and other grant opportunities available through JALT. Presenters will describe the goals, requirements, and schedules of the JALT Research Grants, which are limited to JALT members who have no other outside research funding. Information will be provided about other grants from JALT SIGs and chapters. Participants will be able to ask questions, discuss requirements, share individual research ideas, and receive guidance about application procedures.

An Approach to Large-Scale Quantitative Research

Conducting large-scale classroom-based research poses numerous practical challenges. The goal of this presentation is to introduce a mutually-beneficial collaborative approach to doing such studies in which a main researcher organizes and guides a group of teachers as they each “replicate” the same provided study design. The presenter will explain the goals, strategies, and issues relating to implementing this approach with supportive examples from an extensive reading project conducted in 2018.
