Next ZPD: Tuesday, May 26th, 2026, 8 PM – 9 PM

Our next ZPD session is taking place on Tuesday, May 26th, at 8pm.  The Literature in Language Teaching (LiLT)  will host this month’s session. LiLT is a JALT SIG (Special Interest Group), formed in 2011 to encourage and promote the use of literature in the language classroom. They believe that appropriately chosen literature provides authentic content to engage and motivate our language students, providing a ready-made context for learning that is so often lacking in our EFL teaching situation. They are a relatively small but remarkably busy group. They work hard to do our very best for members, keeping people informed and sharing ideas and opportunities through social media, conferences and events, newsletters, and our annual peer-reviewed Journal.

JALT’s ZPD (Zoom for Professional Development) is a monthly, 1-hour networking event with several themed breakout rooms, including orientation for new and potential JALT members, getting published, teaching online, and more. Please join us for networking, informal chat, and in building a community of practice with JALT members and prospective members.  We’ll break up into smaller groups to discuss those topics and, as usual, we will also have an orientation for new officers and new members, tips and best practices in teaching, getting published, Eikawa & ALT Issues, Online teaching, Hybrid teaching, PhDs and more. 

This event is free and open to all.
