Osaka

Osaka JALT is one of about thirty regional chapters throughout Japan that aims to provide opportunities for language teachers and others interested in language education to share ideas at local face-to-face and online events, in writing in our Osaka JALT Journal, and via our Facebook group. We are directly descended from the Kansai Association of Language Teachers, founded in 1975, which was the precursor of JALT. We hold or co-sponsor several events throughout the year, with our largest event being our spring Back to School conference, which typically draws about a hundred participants or so. Everyone is welcome to participate regardless of employment status or JALT membership. Please visit our chapter website for more details and to join our email list for periodic updates, and feel free to contact us with any questions or suggestions anytime.
