Martin,
Thanks for sounding in. I really appreciate it. It was no trouble at all mentioning Teachers Learning with Children–I know how hard you’re working to keep teachers of children in Japan informed during these times of change in educational policy here. Keep up the good work!

Theron,

As current editor of the JALT TC-SIG newsletter Teachers Learning with Children, I’d like to thank you for mentioning us as a publication that is engaged in broadening the dialogue among language educators in Japan. I’d also like to invite readers to consider contributing to our newsletter, especially as the teaching of English to young children is becoming increasingly important in light of the government’s plans to introduce English/Foreign Language Activities nationwide from grade 5 next year. We would like to hear from educators, both Japanese and foreign, who are on the front lines of this initiative.

Interested parties can contact me at publications@tcsig.jalt.org, editor@tcsig.jalt.org or via the link to our website in your post above.

Thanks for the comment, Clarissa. I would recommend you consider volunteering for a journal if you know of an appropriate one looking for people; it’s a good way to differentiate your resume from the resumes of less active teachers. Good luck with your job hunt!

Great post! I’ve been mostly working for myself doing one-on-one language instruction since I graduated from my MATESOL program, and I’ve been wondering how I would ever be able to get published. I’d love to collaborate with someone in the San Francisco Bay Area on some kind of research someday soon, but right now I’m in the middle of a more traditional job hunt and couldn’t necessarily commit to anything. I hadn’t thought about trying to get involved at the publication level, though.

Thanks!
