You are able to apply for one 30-minute presentation (either a research-based presentation or skills workshop) AND/OR a poster presentation (If you want to do both, you will need to do two separate applications on the site). Poster presentations will be given their own distinct time slot this year so there is no chance of a clash.
This year we are revamping the Conference Proceedings and making it easier for you to submit. You will notice when you submit your proposal (posters included) that there is a box for you to write a slightly longer abstract of 250-500 words for the conference proceedings, alongside your original proposal. We would like to strongly encourage you to do this. The conference proceedings are an opportunity for you to get another publication under your belt for not a whole lot of additional work, and an opportunity for the conference to reach a wider audience and boost our overall publications output. Please do consider submitting an extended abstract with your proposal - it will likely only take a few extra minutes. (TIP: Save your draft abstracts before you start cutting them down to 150 words!) The deadline for proposals for the conference is Sunday September 8th 2024. To make it easier for everyone to plan and make arrangements, we are going to try and appraise submissions this year on a rolling basis, rather than waiting until all submissions are in and then going through them. This means that we should (hopefully) be able to get back to you within 14 days of your submission with a decision. That's all for now. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out via email, Facebook or Discord. We are really looking forward to your conference proposals! Best wishes, Your Study Abroad SIG Officers PS: Those of you who attended last year may notice that the presentation slots are a little shorter this year - feedback from last year's conference told us that you wanted to be able to attend more different presentations during the day, so this is a way for us to achieve that. Dear Study Abroad SIG Members,

Simon Humphries is a professor of intercultural communication and the director of study abroad partner negotiations for the Faculty of Foreign Language Studies (FFLS), Kansai University. His research focuses on fluctuations in students’ capacity to speak (CTS) before, during and after SA (see Humphries, S., Aubrey, S., & King, J. (2023). Fluctuations in Japanese English majors’ capacity to speak before, during and after studying abroad. System, 113, 103001. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.system.2023.103001) In line with the theme of this conference, Changing Trends in Study Abroad - The Past, The Present, And The Future, Simon drew upon his experience—and feedback from students, colleagues and partner universities—to explore the changing landscape of study abroad by answering the following questions:
His first taste of study abroad was in the mid-90s studying business in France at ESC Bordeaux. He negotiated his first overseas partnership for Kindai University Technical College with a British college in 2003, and then advised students for SA in Doshisha University’s English Department, before joining the FFLS negotiation team at Kansai University in 2014.

We are really looking forward to welcoming Simon, and all of you, to our conference on November 4th. A reminder that more information (including, as of today, an outline schedule!) can be found on the conference pages on our website. Best wishes, Your Study Abroad SIG Officers Dear esteemed SIG members, it’s been a while! Following the sudden departure of our Coordinator and Program Chair back in April, we’ve been working behind the scenes to get things in the SIG back up and running. Part of that has involved recruiting a new Coordinator and Program Chair and we’re pleased to announce that we have now filled these roles. Our new Coordinator is Thomas (Tom) Legge and our new Program Chair is Delano Cannegieter. We would like to host a Zoom Meeting to introduce the new (and not-so-new!) officers, discuss our plans for this year’s Study Abroad SIG conference (which we are planning to hold in person this year!), the JALT International Conference, and finally some of our plans for the SIG moving forwards. We’d be really keen to talk with you guys, answer questions and gather feedback about what you would like to see the SIG doing in the future as well. We would therefore like to ask all of you to join us for a Zoom Meeting on Tuesday 18th July at 20:00 JST. The meeting information is as follows:
Any questions or queries whatsoever, please do get in touch via Facebook, email, or carrier pigeon. We hope so see everyone on the 18th!
Best wishes Your Study Abroad SIG Dear Study Abroad SIG Member, We would like to inform you about the change to the Study Abroad SIG Conference scheduled to be held at Mejiro University on September 10, 2022. Due to the current spread of COVID-19 in Tokyo, we have made the difficult decision to switch from the face to face format to online via Zoom. There is no change to the originally scheduled date and time. On conference day, presentations and our Annual General Meeting will be accessible in Zoom breakout rooms. The conference program and other information can be found at the bottom of this post. Here are the conference details:
