What forms of international academic collaboration are possible for JACET affiliates to develop across borders? We have been discussing this issue for a long time annually at the business meeting among JACET affiliates. As one of the events at the 60th commemorative convention, we would like to make this opportunity open to the public for the first time.
JACET is affiliated with seven overseas associations, ALAK, KATE, CELEA, ETA-ROC, MELTA, RELC, Thailand TESOL and one domestic association, JALT. Every year, we exchange a delegate presenter and give an individual paper-presentation, which doesn’t involve regular members actively and deeply. Some collaboration has been implemented for the last couple of years. For example, we have exchanged a journal reviewer between MELTA & RELC and JACET. What else could we do to connect our regular members to our affiliates’ members?
At this symposium, the presidents from each JACET affiliate will give us a brief introduction of each association and present some proposals for possible collaboration among us. Due to COVID-19 pandemic, we have realized that we are able to have a meeting without flying overseas. Possible ideas might be something we could do via online synchronous tools like Zoom and Microsoft Teams such as having an online SIG (Special Interest Groups) meeting, which could lead to publishing SIG journals. Creative proposals for new forms of international academic collaboration will be encouraged at the symposium.

2. JAAL in JACETシンポジウム:言語と分野の垣根を越える新たな応用言語学―日本における応用言語学研究の将来に向けて―

JACETは小池生夫名誉会長の尽力によって、1984年8月からAILA(Association Internationale de Linguistique Appliquée、英語名International Association of Applied Linguistics)における日本の提携学会(Affiliate Association)となっている。2018年12月1日に約30年ぶりとなる「JAAL-in-JACET学術交流集会」が復活し、これを嚆矢としてこれまでJACETでは英語教育学と応用言語学についての様々な企画を行ってきた。2019年に開催された大学英語教育学会(JACET)第58回国際大会(名古屋、2019)の全体シンポジウムでは、これからの応用言語学のあり方について議論が行われ、応用言語学が「英語」と「教育」から脱却する必要があるという指摘がなされた。これは裏を返せば、応用言語学の対象となる言語が英語に集中していたということ、また言語学の知見が活かされる先が言語教育に限られてきたことを意味する。すなわち、「応用言語学=英語教育」という認識は未だ強固なのである。今回、第60回記念国際大会(オンライン、2021)での「JAAL in JACETシンポジウム」では、これまでの日本における応用言語学の経緯と現状を踏まえ、新しい応用言語学のあり方について議論する。応用言語学が、「英語教育」から「言語教育」へ、さらに「言語教育」を越えて「言語の理解を通じた人間社会への貢献」を果たすためには何が必要かを考えていく場としたい。そのために鍵となる概念が、言語や分野の垣根を越えた視点をもたらすTranslingual(言語横断)とTransdisciplinary(分野横断)である。本シンポジウムでは、JACETから小田 眞幸氏(玉川大学)が参加し、英語以外の言語を対象とした言語教育研究の立場から境 一三氏(慶應義塾大学)を、教育とは異なる第二言語習得研究の立場から若林 茂則氏(中央大学)をそれぞれお招きし、これまでの応用言語学の問題点と新しい応用言語学に必要とされる視点について検討する。さらに、応用言語学の解決すべき問題を「言語とコミュニケーション」と捉え直し、言語学のみに囚われない新たな応用言語学の可能性について広く意見を交わし、新たな研究連携の可能性や研究領域の創造に向けた提言を目指す。

3. AILA East Asia Symposium: The Role of Languages in the Internationalization of Higher Education

Coordinator: Chitose Asaoka (Dokkyo University)
Panelists:
Azirah Hashim (University of Malaya, AILA)
Eunsook Shim (Sangji University, ALAK)
Zhang Xin (Guangdong University of Foreign Studies, CELEA)
Naoko Ozeki (Meiji University, JAAL in JACET)

The outbreak of COVID-19 has posed a major challenge to higher education institutions across the globe, ranging from the cancelation of in-person classes and the shift to remote education to the decrease in international mobility of students, academics and scholars. Despite differences in the degree and scale of its impact across regions, it is certainly likely that the pandemic will change the role of language teaching and learning as well as the future of internationalization of higher education institutions.
Therefore, in this symposium, panelists will first reflect on the latest changes and challenges regarding the impacts of COVID-19 on universities in each region and explore future directions of language teaching and learning considering the role of languages. Then they will discuss how local affiliates of AILA in East Asia, ALAK, CELEA and JAAL in JACET, can collaborate addressing both the immediate and long-term challenges associated with the outbreak and what they can do to turn these unprecedented challenges into opportunities to develop the higher education in East Asia.
Keeping up to date with key changes and trends in higher education and predictions about what the future holds will help us create more successful strategies that will make the role of languages in higher education become more relevant in the post COVID-19 world.

1962年11月、JACET(Japan Association of College English Teachers)は120人の大学英語教員の有志が集まって誕生した。その志は「本学会は英語教育および関連分野の理論と実践に関する研究を行い、大学における英語教育の改善と進歩、発展に寄与することを目的とする」である。その後、JACETは、会員数が1998年には3,003人を超え、活動も本部(東京)だけでなく、7支部(1972年関西、1981年東北、1983年中部、1984年中国四国、九州・沖縄、1986年北海道、2006年関東)を持つ全国組織となった。海外への活動に目を向けると、1984年にJACETはAILA(国際応用言語学会)の日本における下部組織として承認されたことを契機にして応用言語学の研究活動を推進し、1999年に国際応用言語学会世界大会に早稲田大学で開催した。そして、海外の言語教育学会との提携をさらに進め、2021年現在の提携学会は以下の通りである(AILA, ALAK, CELEA, ETA-ROC, KATE, MELTA, PKETA, RELC, and Thailand TESOL, JALT(国内))。また、先述の世界大会を契機に学会としての大きな柱となる研究会活動が始まったのである。今では48の研究会が活動を行っている。設立以来60周年を迎えるにあたり、小池生夫名誉会長(慶應義塾大学・明海大学名誉教授)がその設立から国内外の発展していくJACETの状況を、野口ジュディー元副会長・関西支部長(神戸学院大学名誉教授)は支部活動と研究会活動を、卯城祐司元全国英語教育学会会長(筑波大学教授)には同じ英語教育系の学術団体の長として、JACETの60年に外部のご意見をいただく。その後、JACETの次の60年に向けて行うべきミッションをひとりずついただき、将来に向けての提言を行うこととする。

日本の英語教育における教授方法や教授内容については、時代の要請に応じて変遷を遂げてきている。海外の文献を読むことに主眼を置いた「文法・訳読式教授法」からスタートした英語教育は、高度経済成長により国際化が加速する中で、実用英語のニーズが高まった。英語スキルの評価・測定が求められるようになり、多種多様な教材や教授法が開発され、英語検定試験も広く普及した。2000年前後に起きたIT革命以降は、インターネット上で英語を使用する機会が飛躍的に伸び、中小企業もアジアを中心に海外進出するようになった。これらを背景として、2003年には「英語が使える日本人」の育成のための行動計画が策定されるなど産官学を巻き込んだ動きが加速し始めた。グローバル化はアニメ、ゲーム、音楽などエンターテイメントにも及び、AIの発達によって機械翻訳技術にブレイクスルーが起きた現在、英語教育はもはや一つの分野で解決できるほど単純ではない。入試での英語検定試験活用が行われる、2020年度からは小学校に教科としての英語が導入されるなど、産官学が連携して時代の要請に応えなければいけない現状がある。本シンポジウムでは、産、官、学のそれぞれの立場からパネリストを招聘し、英語教育の施策、連携の事例、具体的な事業内容を取り上げ、産官学が一体となった取り組みの核心が何であるかを議論する。その中で、本学会が果たす役割についても議論し、このシンポジウムを契機として産官学連携の英語教育の取り組みを一層推進したい。

2020年度はコロナ禍の影響もあり、高等教育の現場に本格的な遠隔授業の導入が始まった年となった。2020年12月5日に開催された第3回JAAL in JACET(日本応用言語学会)学術交流集会・研究促進企画シンポジウムでは「遠隔元年―『繋ぐ』」と題したシンポジウムを行い、ネットワークと教育工学・授業デザインの専門家を招き、産学の広い観点からこの遠隔教育を振り返り、その課題について議論した。その議論を受けて、2021年1月からはマンスリー研究会「繋ぐ」を開催し、新たな視点で英語教育のあり方について幅広い議論を行っている。現状では、英語教育に携わる教員は多様化しており、専門教員との連携、アウトソーシングとどのように向き合うか、教室内のデジタル化は加速する中で学習者の動機付けをどのように図るか、自律した学習者をどのように育成するか、また、その言語活動やタスクをどのように定めていくのか、などのように課題は多岐に渡る。また、グローバル化が進む中で、多様な背景を持つ人たちとどのように議論し、協働していくのか、言語そのもののスキル以上のメタ知識が不可欠な状況である。本シンポジウムでは、そのマンスリー研究会での成果を発表するとともに、テクノロジーの発達によりデジタル化が加速する中、大学英語教員のアイデンティティを問いつつ、その置かれている立場や状況を俯瞰し、クラスルームのあり方、言語活動の意義、また、根源的な問いとして言語教育とは何かの議論を行う。そして、JAAL in JACETで登壇いただいたネットワークと教育工学・授業デザインの専門家に再び登壇いただき、コメントをいただく中で未来の英語教育を展望する。
