Next ZPD: Tuesday, March 31st, 2025, 8 PM – 9 PM

Our next ZPD session is taking place on Tuesday, March 31st, at 8pm.  The Lifelong Language Learning (LLL)  will host this month’s session. The Lifelong Language Learning (LLL) SIG focuses on language learning beyond compulsory education, particularly among adult learners. In Japan, increasing numbers of young, middle-aged, and older adults are studying languages as part of their lifelong learning journeys. Language learning supports personal growth, cultural understanding, and an enriched quality of life, while also contributing to active and healthy aging. The SIG provides a space for educators to share resources, research, and experiences related to teaching languages to adult learners. Get more information on  https://living4now.org/  or https://hosted.jalt.org/lifelong/index.html
