CUE hosted a number of activities at the JALT International Conference in Tsukuba, including the SIG Forum, “Conversations with the self: Reflective practice and teacher development,” the CUE SIG AGM and Claire Kramsch’s talk for the joint CUE-TED SIG forum: “Why conversation needs borders.” CUE is preparing to launch a monthly newsletter to complement the OnCUE Journal with regular news and updates. CUE members are invited to contribute news and other items. It is our hope that the newsletter will better help us to communicate with our members and add to the benefit of membership.
