Ian Isemonger (Kumamoto University, JALT Journal Editor)

The lecture is primarily concerned with issues which pose a threat to the integrity of research in the area.
2:00-2:30 Featured Speakers (concurrent)
(6F) **Masahiro Nagasaki (Kochi University of Technology)**
**Title**: Changing EFL reading classrooms into “Reading Workshops”
Reading workshops can change students to effective and lifelong readers (Rountas and Pinnell, 2001). In reading workshops, students read because they find it fun and meaningful. However, in EFL classrooms, students read because they are required to read. Research on integrating reading workshops into EFL is being implemented and results are positive. The students read more, for joy and
with purpose.
(2F) **Harry Carley (Matsuyama University)**
**Title**: Team Teaching: The Total Team
Team teaching is most commonly understood as two instructors sharing a class. The presenter will explain how TT actually stands for the ‘total team’. Who the members are on this total team will be examined and explained. Hopefully upon completion the listener will come away with a broader understanding of their position in the classroom and how they fit on the ‘total team’.
