Abstract

In this presentation, participants will learn about annual research grant opportunities offered through JALT to promote research on language teaching in Japan. The first presenter will introduce the JALT Research Grants program which offers up to three grants each year for a maximum of 100,000 yen each for JALT members with no outside sources of research funding. The goal of the grants is to support language teachers in their professional development and to encourage teachers to engage in classroom-based research. After hearing about the goals, requirements, and schedule of the JALT Research Grants, the second presenter will provide an overview of different grants offered by JALT SIGs and chapters and discuss the differences among the different grants. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions about the grants and application procedures, share and discuss potential research project ideas, and receive guidance from the presenters.
