▶︎Conference Overview
The J-CLIL Chugoku Chapter is pleased to announce the 5th Chapter Conference, to be held at the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa in the United States, with the aim of further advancing CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) education and expanding its international perspective.
Hawaii is a region where multiple cultures and languages coexist. Its educational practices embody the principles of Communication and Culture, two of the four Cs central to CLIL. By holding the conference in such an environment, we expect to gain deeper insights into the role of language use and the importance of cultural understanding in CLIL education.
Through interaction and dialogue with researchers and educators in Hawaii, this conference aims to provide an opportunity to share and reconsider the challenges and potential of CLIL from the perspective of international intercultural communication, and to exchange knowledge that can be applied in practice.

By engaging with educators
from diverse cultural backgrounds, participants will be able to explore a variety of approaches to CLIL and gain new perspectives that can inform their future teaching.
We hope that this conference will serve as an opportunity for researchers and practitioners from Japan and the United States to connect and collaboratively shape the future of CLIL education.
