Theme: Teacher and Learner Perspectives on Reflection, Metacognition, and Assessment: Exploring Quality of Learning and Development

Deadline: February 23rd 2025

Email: ldj.issue10@gmail.com 

Editors: Amber Kay & James Underwood

We are both language teachers and practitioner researchers who share a common interest in reflection, metacognition, and assessment. For Issue 10 of the Learner Development Journal (LDJ10) we hope to collaboratively explore interconnections between these themes and learner development by encouraging inquiries and writing that gather perspectives from practitioners and/or learners themselves.

We warmly encourage contributions from a diverse range of language learning and teaching settings related to Japan and abroad, primary through to tertiary, and/or in other relevant contexts. Contributors should focus on practitioners’ and learners’ perspectives, both individual and collective, generated in practice and explored through inquiry, reflection, and practitioner research. 

We are also hoping that one or two other practitioner researchers will join us as editors for LDJ10. If that sounds appealing to you, please let us know by email at <ldj.issue10@gmail.com> so that we can discuss such possibilities further.
