Japanese Literature and Culture; a PhD is preferred. Familiarity with new technologies in teaching and methods of
assessment is desirable; the ability to teach courses in Japanese culture would also be an asset.
Applications should include a cover letter, full CV, 2 sample course syllabi (1 introductory, 1 advanced), and evidence of
teaching excellence (course evaluations, awards). Though not required, a link to a teaching demo video may optionally be
included. Applicants should also arrange for three confidential letters of reference. All application materials, including
letters of reference, should be submitted via email to paasapp@uvic.ca

Dear Japanese Language Professionals,
We are conducting a survey to learn about Japanese language educators’ perspectives on the issue of diversity, inclusion, and professionalism as it pertains to their professional field. We will summarize the information collected from this survey and use it in a panel discussion we are organizing at AAS (Association for Asian Studies) next March. We hope that this panel session will serve as a valuable forum where many Japanese language professionals come together and share their perspectives and experiences on this issue. We also plan to write a report based on the panel discussion and disseminate it in a publicly available format. We would be grateful if you could take a few minutes to answer this online questionnaire.
Please be assured that your responses are anonymous and only the project team will have access to your individual responses. We will tally the collected information as numerical data or narratives without any personal information to ensure that no individuals will be identifiable upon presentation. We truly appreciate your forthright responses as well as your time and support for this project.
Access the survey HERE. Please complete by November 30, 2018.

講演概要
｢なにを教えるか」というところから始まった、戦後の日本語教育は、数十年の経緯を経て、｢なぜ教えるのか｣というところまでたどり着いた。この過程は、言語への関心から人間への関心というように、教育観の大きな変容を示している。そして、このことは、日本語教育が、コミュニケーション能力向上という幻想を超えて、どのような人をつくり、どのような社会をつくるのかという大きな課題に直面していることを示唆するものである。

カナダ日本語教育振興会（CAJLE）
国際交流基金トロント日本文化センター
トロント及びトロント近郊ではさまざまな年齢とレベルの学習者を対象に日本語教育が行われていますが、実際に教えている教師たちはほかの教育機関で行われていること、時には同じプログラム内であっても、自分以外の先生がしていることをあまりよく知らないのが現状だと思います。今、自分の目の前にいる学習者がどのような環境で何を学んできたのかを知り、そして今後彼らが日本語学習を継続するにあたりどのような選択肢があるのかを知ることは、教師にとって大変意味のあることだと考えます。また、教師間のネットワークを活性化させることにより、さまざまなレベルでの意見交換が頻繁に行われることにもなるでしょう。カナダ日本語教育振興会（CAJLE）と国際交流基金トロント日本文化センターでは、2009年12月より、日本語教育機関やプログラム間の“アーティキュレーション（連携、継続性）”のための素地を築くことを目指した集まりを企画してまいりました。
第27回目となる今回はオンタリオ州各地での「継承語としての日本語教育」への取り組みのご紹介を予定しております。それぞれの学校における新しい教材や独自の活動について、実際の生徒達の成果物なども紹介しながらご案内する予定です。

Canadian Association for Japanese Language Education (CAJLE)
The Japan Foundation, Toronto
Japanese is taught at several secondary schools in Toronto and its surrounding areas. Yet, it appears that teachers do not know much about the other institutions, courses or programmes. This lack of understanding can sometimes be found even within the same institution. We believe that it is very important and necessary for teachers to know what their current students have previously studied and in what type of environment that education took place. Similarly, it is important to be informed of the available learning opportunities for students who wish to continue studying Japanese. We believe it is essential for teachers to build a strong and active network that enables them to communicate with one another. Since December 2009, the Canadian Association for Japanese Language Education (CAJLE) and the Japan Foundation, Toronto have been co-organizing events to build a good foundation for the articulation of Japanese language education.
For the 27th event of the series, we will introduce initiatives in “Japanese as a heritage language education” in various places in Ontario. The education institutions will introduce their programs while showcasing new teaching materials and unique activities along with actual samples of students’ school work.
For those who cannot come to JFT, online participation will also be available. Please confirm the details of how to participate online below.
We ask that those who participate both in person and online please register at the website listed below.

カナダ日本語教育振興会（CAJLE）
国際交流基金トロント日本文化センター
トロント及びトロント近郊ではさまざまな年齢とレベルの学習者を対象に日本語教育が行われていますが、実際に教えている教師たちはほかの教育機関で行われていること、時には同じプログラム内であっても、自分以外の先生がしていることをあまりよく知らないのが現状だと思います。今、自分の目の前にいる学習者がどのような環境で何を学んできたのかを知り、そして今後彼らが日本語学習を継続するにあたりどのような選択肢があるのかを知ることは、教師にとって大変意味のあることだと考えます。また、教師間のネットワークを活性化させることにより、さまざまなレベルでの意見交換が頻繁に行われることにもなるでしょう。カナダ日本語教育振興会（CAJLE）と国際交流基金トロント日本文化センターでは、2009年12月より、日本語教育機関やプログラム間の“アーティキュレーション（連携、継続性）”のための素地を築くことを目指した集まりを企画してまいりました。

Canadian Association for Japanese Language Education (CAJLE)
The Japan Foundation, Toronto
Japanese is taught at several secondary schools in Toronto and its surrounding areas. Yet, it appears that teachers do not know much about the other institutions, courses or programmes. This lack of understanding can sometimes be found even within the same institution. We believe that it is very important and necessary for teachers to know what their current students have previously studied and in what type of environment that education took place. Similarly, it is important to be informed of the available learning opportunities for students who wish to continue studying Japanese. We believe it is essential for teachers to build a strong and active network that enables them to communicate with one another. Since December 2009, the Canadian Association for Japanese Language Education (CAJLE) and the Japan Foundation, Toronto have been co-organizing events to build a good foundation for the articulation of Japanese language education.
For the 26th event of the series, we will introduce various Japanese language courses in London. Please register at the website listed below.
Speakers:
Date: Saturday, October 14th, 2017
Time: 2:30 pm to 5:00 pm (The doors open at 2pm)

カナダ日本語教育振興会（CAJLE）
国際交流基金トロント日本文化センター
トロント及びトロント近郊ではさまざまな年齢とレベルの学習者を対象に日本語教育が行われていますが、実際に教えている教師たちはほかの教育機関で行われていること、時には同じプログラム内であっても、自分以外の先生がしていることをあまりよく知らないのが現状だと思います。今、自分の目の前にいる学習者がどのような環境で何を学んできたのかを知り、そして今後彼らが日本語学習を継続するにあたりどのような選択肢があるのかを知ることは、教師にとって大変意味のあることだと考えます。また、教師間のネットワークを活性化させることにより、さまざまなレベルでの意見交換が頻繁に行われることにもなるでしょう。カナダ日本語教育振興会（CAJLE）と国際交流基金トロント日本文化センターでは、2009年12月より、日本語教育機関やプログラム間の“アーティキュレーション（連携、継続性）”のための素地を築くことを目指した集まりを企画してまいりました。
第25回目となる今回は、「日本語教育とジェンダー」というトピックで、多様な背景や価値観を持つ学習者が増える中、現場の教師にはどのような対応が求められているのだろうかということについて、皆さんと一緒に考えてみたいと思います。まず、前半は、講師に有森丈太郎先生をお迎えし、日本語（言語）教育の観点でジェンダーについてお話しいただきます。昼休みをはさんだあと、後半は、具体的な教材や指導の際の留意点、学習者への対応の仕方などについてディスカッションを行いながら、参加者の一人一人がこの問題に関して多様な角度から考える場を提供したいと思っています。
参加ご希望の方は以下をご確認の上、ウェブサイトからお申し込みください。
日時：2017年7月22日（土） 午前10時～午後2時30分 （開場：午前9時30分）
前半：午前10時～午後12時：ジェンダーと日本語教育についての先行研究

Information Exchange Meeting for Japanese Language Teachers:
Continuing Learning Japanese 25
Japanese Language Education and Gender
Canadian Association for Japanese Language Education (CAJLE)
The Japan Foundation, Toronto
Japanese is taught at several secondary schools in Toronto and its surrounding areas. Yet, it appears that teachers do not know much about the other institutions, courses or programmes. This lack of understanding can sometimes be found even within the same institution. We believe that it is very important and necessary for teachers to know what their current students have previously studied and in what type of environment that education took place. Similarly, it is important to be informed of the available learning opportunities for students who wish to continue studying Japanese. We believe it is essential for teachers to build a strong and active network that enables them to communicate with one another. Since December 2009, the Canadian Association for Japanese Language Education (CAJLE) and the Japan Foundation, Toronto have been co-organizing events to build a good foundation for the articulation of Japanese language education.
In the 25th event of the series, we would like to share ideas within the topic of “Japanese language education and gender;” namely, how we are expected torespond in an educational environment where we are met with an increasing variety of students with different backgrounds and values. In the first part of the workshop, Mr. Jotaro Arimori will introduce studies on the topic and talk about gender within the context of Japanese language education. After a lunch break, we hope to think about the topic from different viewpoints as we discuss the important points to remember when dealing with classroom instruction and materials, how to interact with our students, etc.
Please join us!
Date: Saturday, July 22, 2017
Time: 10:00 pm to 2:30 pm (Doors open at 9:30 am)
Part 1 – 10:00 am to 12:00 pm: Overview of studies on Japanese language education and gender
Lunch: Please bring your own lunch.
