In addition to news, updates, and information for members, CUE Circular aims to publish concise, well-written articles of practical and professional interest to English language teachers in Japan’s tertiary sector.
CUE SIG is a collection of teachers with common concerns, motivations, and challenges. In the spirit of Reflective Practice, CUE Circular will be a forum for discussing what really matters to us in a practical sense. We’re more concerned with publishing short, accessible, interesting articles concerned with the day-to-day realities of teaching and learning in our sector, than with the kind of rigorous, formal, investigative research that might be more at home in a scholarly peer-reviewed journal.
Share your success stories (and failures!), teaching ideas, opinions, reflections, responses, and reports of less-formal action research projects either completed or in progress.
NOTE: Previously, CUE SIG published similar pedagogically related articles under the journal section of From The Chalkface. These are listed now at the bottom of this link.
Articles written by students or by students and their teachers. These should be pedagogical reflections about the students' language learning or their research related to language learning or experiences as a teaching assistant.
Veteran Teacher Voices (VTV). Interviews with retiring teachers who have valuable knowledge to share. This section aims to draw out the wisdom gained from years of experience that long-term teachers in Japan have, reflect on their journeys, and elicit their advice on current and future teaching situations before their insight disappears with them into retirement.
All articles: Submit short articles of around 1,000 words: Submissions should be .doc , .docx , or .pages files, with as little formatting as possible.
Attach figures in color or grayscale. Use JPG or PNG files. Do not embed these into your submission.
References, if any are included, should follow APA formatting guidelines.
