The 15th Princeton Japanese Pedagogy Forum will take place on the campus of Princeton University on Saturday, May 3 - Sunday May 4, 2008. The PJPF will feature two-day sessions with a focus on various issues related to Japanese language education. The special focus will be on "Corpus Linguistics: its Applications to Japanese Pedagogy." We will invite papers on any aspect of Corpus Linguistics itself or its applications to pre-college and college level Japanese language education. In addition, we will welcome any paper related to Japanese language education in general, including second language acquisition, linguistics, heritage learning, among others.
The keynote speaker will be Professor Atsushi Fukada of Purdue University. His topic will be "Corpus-based Japanese Linguistics and Its Application to Teaching: コーパス言語学の日本語研究・日本語教育への応用."
Individual papers should be 20 minutes long with an additional 10 minutes for discussion. An abstract for an individual paper should be no more than 300 words in English or 700 characters in Japanese. Your name should not appear on the abstract. Please submit a separate sheet on which you have typed your name in romaji alone or in both romaji and kanji (if you are Japanese), the title of your paper, affiliation and e-mail address.
