JALT2010 Proposal Submission FAQs

How many papers can I submit?
There is no limit to the number of submission a single person may make. However presenters with multiple submissions will be limited to a maximum of one vetted presentation as main presenter so that as many people as possible may present at JALT2010. Participation in multiple presentations is permissible, as long as a single individual is not the main presenter in more than one presentation.
How many individuals from a single institution can present in a 25 minute short paper presentation or 60 minute long paper presentation?
In proposing paper presentations, you are asked to include no more than two individuals from any single institution.
At the moment, due to various circumstances, I’m not sure if I’ll be able to attend the conference or not. Should I submit a proposal regardless?
We ask that you submit proposals only if you plan to attend the conference. We suggest that if your research is as yet unfinished, or you are unsure if you will have the funding or time to attend, it may be more suitable to wait and submit again next year.
How do I register for the conference?
All presenters must pre-register for the conference. Failure of any presenter or co-presenter to pre-register will result in cancellation of the presentation. Pre-registration information is automatically sent to all presenters and JALT members. Nonmembers can request pre-registration materials in writing by post (JALT Central Office, Urban Edge Bldg 5F, 1-37-9 Taito, Taito-ku, Tokyo, 110-0016, Japan), (email), or fax (03-3837-1631) from the JALT Central Office. We regret that financial assistance cannot be provided to presenters.Deadline for Presenter Pre-registration is Friday 1 October, 2010.
Are there opportunities to submit manuscripts to JALT publications?
Presenters are encouraged to submit revisions of their presentation for possible publication in the JALT Journal or The Language Teacher, and articles based upon their presentations to the JALT2010 Conference Proceedings (see the JALT2010 Conference Handbook for details).
