  • A Message From Kris at the Learner Development SIG on Grants

    The following is a message from Kris at the LD SIG at JALT.

    Do topics like learner and teacher autonomy, identity, self-regulated learning, and motivation spike your interest? Do you believe in the importance of learner development, and your own development as a teacher, and want the chance to explore this with like-minded colleagues for a year at no cost?

As a subscriber or member you will receive copies of our newsletter Learning Learning, invitations to take part in LD SIG Forums and Get Togethers, and become part of a community of well over 200 educators across Japan and the world.
