Dear all,
We are now accepting proposals for presenters at the CT SIG Forum being held face-to-face at JALT 2024 in Shizuoka. This year, we are seeking proposals on either research or classroom practice related topics covering any aspect of critical thinking. Some possible topics are higher-order thinking skills, thinking dispositions, evidence-based thinking, problem solving, logical thinking, source evaluation, viewpoint-taking, debate and argumentation, and academic writing. Perhaps you even have a novel approach to critical thinking in your English courses to share. If you have something you would like to share, we would like to hear about your experiences.
Depending on the number of submissions, speakers will have approximately 15-20 minutes each to share their ideas and/or research. If you are interested in presenting, send the following to <program@jaltcriticalthinking.org>:
A title of 10 words or less
- An abstract of 200 words or less
- Your name, position, affiliation, and email address
- A short bio of no more than 40 words
The deadline for submitting a proposal is March 31st. We will notify speakers of acceptance in April once the vetting process has been completed. Please note that these presentations are vetted by the CT SIG independently of the JALT conference proper. That means that you could submit one presentation for our Forum by emailing your submission to program@jaltcriticalthinking.org, and another through the main JALT Conference call for submissions.
If you have any questions, you can contact Todd Hooper, the CT SIG Program Chair, at the email address above.
We look forward to seeing you as a speaker at JALT 2024 in Shizuoka.
The CT SIG Executive Board
