Joseph Shaules: Brain Guide to Interculture in Language Classrooms (JALT2018)
JALT 2018 Featured Speaker Series Video: Joseph Shaules, Brain Guide to Interculture in Language Classrooms.
Joseph Shaules was one of the featured speakers at the 2018JALT International Conference. His title was, Brain Guide to Interculture in Language Classrooms, and the session took place on Saturday, November 24, 4:40 PM - 5:40 PM. His talk was sponsored by the Mind, Brain, and Education (BRAIN) SIG.
Featured Session Abstract:
Although language and culture are closely related, adding an intercultural dimension to language classes can be challenging. This presentation will present a deep learning approach to doing so. We will learn about four levels of learning that help us include cultural elements into foreign language classes, drawing on insights in cognitive neuroscience and unconscious cognition. This presentation is intended for teachers who see language learning as an opportunity for increased intercultural understanding.

Momoko Nakamura: Gender Construction in Japanese Translation (JALT2018)
Momoko Nakamura was one of the plenary speakers at the 2018JALT International Conference. Her title was, Gender Construction in Japanese Translation, and the session took place on Sunday, Nov. 25, 3:25 PM - 4:25 PM.
Plenary Session Abstract:
This paper explores the inter-lingual process of gender construction by analyzing the employment of gendered styles in Japanese translation. In globalization, more studies are required to examine intersections of gender beyond language boundaries (Bloomaert 2010; Bucholtz & Hall 2004; Cameron 2000). Drawing on a set of linguistic features associated with femininity and masculinity in Japanese, I investigate how Japanese translators use the gendered features in translating the speech of non-Japanese women and men (Inoue 2003; Shibamoto Smith 2004). The data consists of the translated speech in English and Russian literary works, TV dramas, films and newspaper interview articles. Based on the methodology of discourse analysis, I examine the occurrences of feminine and masculine features in the wide range of media discourse (Nakamura 2013). The analysis shows: 1) Japanese translators overwhelmingly use feminine features in translating non-Japanese women's speech, and 2) while they also employ masculine features in translating non-Japanese men's speech, with respect to the casual, laid-back speech of non-Japanese men, they have created a specific Japanese style used only in the translation of the speech. The findings suggest: 1) the predominant use of feminine features for the speech of non-Japanese women works to naturalize Japanese femininity beyond linguistic and ethnic boundaries, and 2) the invention of the style for non-Japanese men serves to enregister the Japanese stereotype of non-Japanese casual masculinity, depending on which Japanese masculinity maintains its idealized status. In sum, this paper contributes to elucidating the inter-lingual intersections of gender construction.

Diane Larsen-Freeman: Including all Students: A Complex Systems Perspective (JALT2018)
Diane Larsen-Freeman was one of the plenary speakers at the 2018JALT International Conference. Her title was, Including all Students: A Complex Systems Perspective, and the session took place on Saturday Nov. 24, 9:45 AM - 10:45 AM.
Plenary Session Abstract:
The world seems to be an increasingly diverse place. Whether this is true or whether it is just that we are more aware of the diversity that has always existed is an open question. However, what is not at issue is the fact that we have responsibility as teachers for the education of all our students. There are already many demands on our time, so how are we to cope with the varied needs of our students in order to include them?
I will use the frame of Complex Dynamic Systems Theory (CDST) to suggest several ways that their inclusion can be addressed, if not accomplished. First, we need to cultivate a systems perspective. It is not enough for teachers to face the challenge on their own. Second, we need to recognize the reciprocity that exists between teachers and students. We are, after all, partners in the teaching-learning process. Third, we need to think in terms of universal design principles. Among these, I include CDST-informed principles of iteration and adaptation. Fourth, we need to appreciate the rewards that can be gained if we practice inclusion; it is not simply about doing good deeds. Finally, it is often the fear of diversity that fuels many of the conflicts in our world today. This realization invites us to reflect on what our role can be to defuse some of the tensions that lead to the conflicts in the first place.
