Research Highlights
Vol. 16, November 2016 Research Highlights Fishy approach reveals how things taste sweet or umami Okayama University have identified the protein conformational changes associated with sweet and umami taste recognition. Taste recognition occurs as specific protein receptors in the mouth interact with molecules in eaten food. The proteins responsible for tasting sweet and umami molecules are described as taste receptor type 1 (T1r) and are common to vertebrates in general, including fish, birds and mammals. It is known that the T1r family of variants interact with food molecules in paired up structures - “heterodimers” – Yamashita and colleagues identified the structure and to allow the distinction between umami, sweet, and other conformational changes in type 1 taste receptor proteins tastes. However, difficulties in producing and purifying these during the recognition of sweet and umami tastes proteins have inhibited attempts to directly investigate what interactions occur during sweet and umami taste recognition. Atsuko Yamashita and a team of researchers at RIKEN SPring-8 Center, the National Institute of Natural Science, the Graduate University for Advanced Studies (SOKENDAI), the Food Research Institute, Osaka University, Okazaki Institute for Integrative Biosciences, and Okayama University have now successfully demonstrated a way around these difficulties. They identified a fish known as medaka or “Japanese rice fish” as a suitable vertebrate model for investigating umami and sweet tastes. The researchers found they could produce – “express” – the ligand binding domain of the T1r2 and T1r3 proteins in medaka fish as functional heterodimeric proteins. They express the proteins in a glycosylated form, which is closer to the physiological state. The study identifies the conformational changes the proteins undergo during sweet and umami taste recognition for the first time.

Development and Practice of Training Program in Japanese Higher Education
Development and Practice of Training Program in Japanese Higher Education - Benefits of Professional Development Across Institutions - Eiko Shimizu, Otemon Gakuin University Natsuko Kishioka, Ritsumeikan University Mariko Mikuriya, Meisei University Megumi Yamasaki, Soka University Objectives of this presentation • To understand the characteristics and issues of higher education in Japan in regards to Academic Advising • To understand the staff development program without professional staff • To understand the benefits of professional development across institutions Characteristics of Higher Education in Japan 1. Lack of Professional Staff ➠ “multiple roles” assigned to an individual staff e.g. Learning Support + Academic Advising 2. ”Job Rotation” ➠ Staff will be assigned to a new unit every 3 to 5 years 3. Lack of systemic professional development opportunities ➠Professional development = OJT Professional Staff (Ministry of Education, 2015) Issues in Higher Education in Japan 1. No systemic approach in academic advising ➡ Depend on an individual faculty/staff 2. No continuity in supporting system 3. No clear competencies and assessment base 4. No sharing information within institution Professional Development Trials Trial 1 Academic Advising Salon: Informational Session X6 ○ Issues presented by practitionars Trial 2 Academic Advising Workshop: Analysing own institution ○ Understanding NACADA’s Competencies and CAS Self Assessment Guide ○ Developing a competency framework based on “senior” practitionars Trial 1: Academic Advising Salon Goal: Share information on Academic Advising and develop a network across higher education ・Share histories and theories on Academic Advising internationally ・Share information on professional dvelopment practices ・Identify skills shared among institutions ・Develop a network among practitionars Academic Advising Salon Date/Place Content Participa nts# October 21, 2017/Osaka Academic Advising in the U.S.

VOL. 5 AATJNEWSLETTER NO. 3 President’s Message Yoshiko Saito-Abbott 齋藤アボット佳子新学期が始まり皆々様にはお忙しい日々をお過ごしの事と思います。さてAATJは2016年の1月から日本語教育のさらなる普及・奨励に力をいれるためJ−CAN（Japanese, Core Practices, Articulation/Advocacy, and Network) イニシャ September 2016 ティブを推進しております。その一環として７月8日から１０日にバージニアのオールド・ドミニオン大学でAATJとJapan Foundationの共催で4つの教師会の代表が集い、J-CANのワークショップが行われました。ワークショップに参加した皆さんはコア・ププラクティスとは何か、そしてそれをどのように授業に反映するかについて学び、それぞれの地域の日本語教育の課題と目標を明確化し、実現可能な短期的、長期的な活動計画アクションプランを作成、教師会間でのネットワークが活発に行われました。その報告がこの号に掲載されていますのでどうぞご覧ください。また１１月に行われるAATJ/ACTFLの学会の後でJapan Foundationとの共催でMITを会場に、全米における「最新のペダゴジーとは」というテーマでJ−CAN (Japanese Core Practices, Articulation/Advocacy , and Network)の新しい試みについてのワークショップが行われます。又、来春にも同じようなJ-CANのワークショップを計画しておりますのでご期待ください。１１月に開催されるAATJ/ACTFLの学会の準備も順調に進んでおります。ふるってご参加ください。また同期間中にJapan Foundationとこれからの日本語教育を担うリーダーシップトレーニングも行われます。たくさんのご応募ありがとうございました。さらに現在トロントで開催される春学会のプロポーザルを募集しております。たくさんの応募を期待します。それではAATJ/ACTFL開催地のボストンでお会いできますことを楽しみにしております。 Greetings! I hope you are doing well in the new academic year. AATJ launched our “J-CAN initiative” at the beginning of this year. J-CAN stands for Japanese-Core Practices, Articulation/Advocacy and Network. In addition to articulation, advocacy, and networking activities, AATJ is now promoting ACTFL’s Core Practices* – that is, high-leverage teaching practices – to promote Japanese language and cultural education. As part of our efforts, AATJ and the Japan Foundation, Los Angeles, sponsored a “J-CAN Workshop at Old Dominion College in Virginia in July. Representatives of four of AATJ’s affiliate organizations gathered and explored what core practices mean, and each organization planned short-term and long-term action plans for each organization and their J-CAN activities. Please see a more detailed report of the workshop in this newsletter. In addition, AATJ and the Japan Foundation are co-organizing and planning a J-CAN workshop in November in Boston. The theme of the workshop is “New Pedagogy Across the US,” and it will be held at MIT on November 20, right after the ACTFL Convention/AATJ Fall Conference in Boston.

At Okayama University, we have the answer. It is imperative that we build up our knowledge in order to advance education and research. As a public institution of higher learning, we are committed to contributing to this advancement by providing a positive environment for the creation of higher knowledge through research and the passing on of wisdom to younger generations through education and community service. Our Purpose “Building up a new paradigm for a sustainable world” As one of the leading universities in Japan, we aim to create and establish a new paradigm for the 2 sustainable development of the world. We are being confronted with problems of global proportions in terms of the environment, energy issues, food supplies, economics, health, security and education. Thus, we are constantly seeking ways for humans to co-exist in harmony with nature. With this in mind, our university offers a wide range of academic fields, which are the basis of our integrated graduate schools. This not only allows us to conduct the most advanced and up-to-date research, but also provides an enriching educational experience.
