Each year, JALT awards up to three grants for a maximum of 100,000 yen each for research on language teaching in Japan. Only JALT members who have no outside funding sources to conduct research are eligible to apply. The goal of the grants is to support language teachers in their professional development and to encourage teachers to engage in classroom-based research. Grant funds are transferred before the start of the following academic year during which grant recipients conduct their studies, provide quarterly reports, and receive guidance from the committee. Following the completion of the research, grant recipients are invited to give presentations on their projects at the JALT national conference. The deadline for proposals for projects starting in the 2024 school year is November 12, 2023.
