National Symposium on Japanese Language Education (NSJLE)

The 6th National Symposium on Japanese Language Education (NSJLE) in 2024 will be held on November 15-16, 2024 (Fri-Sat). 

2024 theme is Unleashing Potential, Expanding Boundaries

The theme of the 2024 National Symposium on Japanese Language Education, Unleashing Potential, Expanding Boundaries reflects a pivotal position for Japanese language education in Australia. In an environment of curriculum development and expansion, introduction of new technology tools, we need to unleash the potential of educators, students, teaching and learning to expand the boundaries of language education making links and connections with one another, subsequent levels of education and other curriculum areas. The 6th NSJLE will focus on the programs and opportunities available when we embrace the unlimited potential of language education and expand our borders into as yet untapped areas.

The National Symposium on Japanese Language Education (NSJLE) is a biennial two-day conference for Japanese language educators at all levels and sectors from all Australian states and territories. It is organised by The Japan Foundation, Sydney, and the Melbourne Centre for Japanese Language Education.

NSJLE aims to provide a platform for teachers and stakeholders to discuss issues of national interest and network with their peers from around the country to encourage a stronger national network of Japanese language educators.

This symposium is a direct response to a recommendation in the 2010 report, The Current State of Japanese Language in Australian Schools and to the need for Japanese language educators to engage with important developments in language education policy under way at national and state levels, including the development of the Australian Curriculum – Languages.

NSJLE covers a wide range of topics related to Japanese language education, including sharing best practice, advances in classroom ICT, articulation, the Australian Curriculum and leadership and advocacy.
