Our Goal: We’ll read a book together, chapter by chapter, reflect on the insights, and discuss how they may apply to our actual teaching practice.
Our Commitment: Just one hour, once a month. We’ll tackle one chapter at a time, so no pressure, or homework pileup!
Our Space: Beyond our monthly Zoom meetups, we’ll have an optional online space to keep the conversation going at your own pace.
The Book for 2026: Engaging Language Learners in Contemporary Classrooms by Sarah Mercer and Zoltán Dörnyei 
Priority will be given to any JALT member in a Chugoku+ JALT chapter (Hiroshima, Okayama, Matsuyama, Tottori, and East Shikoku). To keep the discussions meaningful and inclusive, we are limiting the initial group to 10–12 members.
