Call for Papers and Panels, 2004 ATJ Seminar

The 2004 ATJ Seminar will take place at The San Diego Town & Country Resort, in San Diego, in conjunction with the annual meeting of the Association for Asian Studies, on Thursday, March 4, 2004. The Seminar will feature a full day of concurrent sessions with presentations by ATJ members on linguistics, literature,
second-language acquisition and pedagogy.

Proposals for presentation and panels are welcomed in the areas of Japanese Linguistics, Japanese Literature, Second Language Acquisition in Japanese, and Japanese Language Pedagogy. ATJ also welcomes session proposals from the Association's Specia
l Interest Groups (SIGs). Individual papers are 20 minutes long with an additional 5 minutes for discussion. Organized panels are 100 minutes long in total and should be limited to four active participants (four paper presenters, or three presenters and one discussant). An abstract for an individual paper should be no more than 300 words in English (or 700 characters in Japanese). For organized panels, a maximum 300-word (or 700 characters in Japanese) abstract is required from each participant, in addition to a maximum 300-word (or 700 characters in Japanese) abstract for the panel itself.

Sessions will be held concurrently beginning at 10:00 a.m. Admission is free for members of ATJ and our sister organization, the National Council of Japanese Language Teachers (NCJLT). There will be a registration fee of $35 for non-members.
