Events

The Performance In Education SIG of the Japan Association for Language Teaching (JALT) sponsors several conferences a year, usually in convenient and interesting locations, with workshops, presentations, and performances. Families are always welcome.

“We are always trying to grow and spread our message through collaboration with YOU.”

What draws many people to the PIE SIG are the amazing and effective activities described by SIG members, the creative talents of the teachers/performers, and most of all, the warm, friendly atmosphere that we work hard to create. We are useful and FUN.

Want to collaborate with us? Contact us at jaltpiesig@gmail.com if you are in the collaborative mood or come and see for yourself what we are about at our annual Performance in Education Research & Practice Conference.
