PSG’s Online Professional Development Series

Calling all JALT members! Get ready to take your writing skills to the next level with an exciting professional development workshop presented by the one and only Daniel J. Mills. Hosted by the JALT Writer’s Peer Support Group (PSG) and sponsored by Shizuoka JALT, the SPINS Committee, and JALT CALL, this workshop promises to equip you with the essential Author Nuts and Bolts that every academic writer needs to know.
Join us on Zoom on June 14 for an engaging and informative session where you’ll learn practical strategies and techniques to improve your writing, no matter how experienced you are as an academic writer. Daniel, an associate professor at Ritsumeikan University and the co-editor for CALL-EJ, will guide you through the essentials of great writing and provide you with tips and tricks to enhance your writing skills.
“This presentation will offer valuable guidance for authors seeking to publish their work in academic journals. It will provide insights into the submission process, editorial policies, and review criteria applicable to most academic journals. Interactive activities such as brainstorming exercises, peer review simulations, or case studies to help you apply the knowledge and skills learned in the presentation. By the end of the session, attendees will have the knowledge and tools to submit their work to academic journals with confidence.”
