Vocabulary SIG Forum and Annual General Meeting #299 Tue, Nov 17, 20:00-21:30 JST <https://jalt2020.eventzil.la/session/299> This event will showcase presentations which were originally intended for SIG events cancelled due to Typhoon Hagibis and the novel coronavirus. Imogen Custance and Clint Denison will discuss student-created, field-specific word lists. Louis Lafleur will discuss the indirect spaced repetition concept. Finally, Tomoko Ishii will discuss learners’ knowledge of parts of speech and the relationship to vocabulary knowledge. Presentations will be followed by the SIG's annual general meeting at 9PM. NOTICE: THE 2019 SYMPOSIUM HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO TYPHOON HAGIBIS It is with heavy hearts that we announce the cancellation of the JALT Vocab SIG 2019 Symposium, which was scheduled for Saturday, October 12. Although Typhoon Hagibis is projected to become less powerful by the time it reaches Japan, there is still a high likelihood it could cause major disturbances, potentially stranding our speakers from the west in Tokyo, unable to return home afterward. It would also leave our discussant Irina Elgort flying to Japan not far from a major storm system. If possible, we may reschedule the event for another time when all the scheduled speakers are available. We hope to see you another time in the coming months. Session 1: Vocabulary and CALL Discussant: Tatsuya Nakata (Hosei University) Speakers:
Session 2: Vocabulary Learning and Assessment Discussant: Irina Elgort (Victoria University of Wellington) Speakers:
Poster session In addition to the invited speakers, vetted poster presentations will also be included at the symposium with the themes of "tested vocabulary teaching and learning strategies" and "ongoing vocabulary empirical research".
