Presenters may choose either Japanese or English as the presentation language.For this event, we are honored to welcome Dr. Yueh-Nu Hung, Dean of the College of Education at National Taichung University of Education, and Dr. Shuichiro Oki from the Melbourne Graduate School of Education. They will give a keynote lecture and a workshop on CLIL practice and master’s thesis development.We invite submissions from in-service teachers, graduate students, and undergraduate students from Japan, Taiwan, Australia, and other international research fields.
