https://www.nankyujalt.org/events/sutlf/sutlf-2023Taking Reflections and Reconfigurations as a theme, the 7th SUTLF conference will explore what teaching and learning means in 2023. It is a chance to examine what we have learned – about education, about our students, and about ourselves – from teaching, studying, and living through a pandemic. It is a chance to contemplate the changes we can expect as classrooms and campuses fill with students and restrictions begin to lift. Students get in free and we do have a special student presentation category! - JALTCALL 2023: CALLing the Future
