JALT National Conference 2026

🎯 JALT2026 Nagoya - Okinawa JALT Will Be There!

The biggest language teaching conference in Asia is coming up in November, and Okinawa JALT will have a presence. Here is what you need to know about JALT2026 and our special participation this year.

JALT2026, the annual JALT International Conference, takes place November 20-22, 2026 at WINC AICHI in Nagoya. This flagship event draws 1,500+ educators from Japan and around the world for three days of presentations, workshops, a publishers exhibition with 55+ publishers, and of course the Annual General Meeting.

Meet the Chapters - Okinawa JALT Showcased!

This year JALT is introducing a special dedicated session called Meet the Chapters - a poster session where local chapters get to showcase their activities to the broader JALT community. Think of it as our chapter's shop window to the world.

Okinawa JALT has secured a spot in this session. It is a fantastic opportunity to advertise our 2026 and 2027 events, attract new members, and connect with other chapter presidents and educators from across Japan.

📅 JALT2026

Our Chapter Representative

David Kluge, our Membership Chair and Performance in Education SIG Founding President, represented Okinawa JALT at the Executive Board Meeting (EBM) in Fukuoka. We are proud to have someone of David's experience and dedication in that role.
