In this forum, three presenters will share their findings on current college level Japanese as a Second Language (JSL) issues. The topics include: JSL teachers’ teaching techniques of using L1, the pros and cons of evaluating JSL student-teachers, and JSL learners’ motivation and identity issues. We will have discussion sessions after each presentation. Please come and join us to share your thoughts on current JSL issues!

In this meeting, we will look back on our previous activities, discuss plans for future Japanese as a Second Language (JSL) SIG activities, publications, and elect officers for 2021. SIG members and interested people are encouraged to join.
