Dear Sensei-gata,

We are pleased to announce that the 27th Princeton Japanese Pedagogy Forum (PJPF) will be held remotely (online) on Saturday, May 8, 2021. The theme of the 27th Princeton Japanese Language Education Forum is “Rethinking Assessment for Learning.” The keynote speakers will be Professor Kimi Kondo Brown of the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa and Professor Seiichi Makino of Princeton University.

The Forum invites papers related to the main theme for both pre-college and college level as well as heritage Japanese language and culture education. In addition, we welcome any paper related to Japanese language education in general, including second language acquisition, linguistics, and technology in language learning and teaching, among others.

In 2021, we are planning two types of presentations: (1) a live presentation (20 minutes and 10 minutes of discussion), and (2) a non-live, pre-recorded video presentation (20 minutes of presentation) that will be open to the registrants for a certain period of time. Please let us know which presentation format you prefer when you submit your abstract. We would appreciate it if you could submit the abstracts by clicking the link below by January 15, 2021. We will send you the results by January 31, 2021.

If you are selected, you will be asked to submit your proceedings in either of the presentation formats. The deadline for the proceedings is Friday, May 7, 2021. Please note that the proceedings will be posted on the Forum’s website after the conference. Please use the same language for your abstract and proceedings as you will use for the presentation. If you have any questions about the forum, please email us at PJPF@princeton.edu.

We look forward to seeing you online in May next year.

Regards,

The Princeton Japanese Pedagogy Forum Organizing Committee
