Conference Spaces on Sojiji Campus 1F Registration Plenary Poster Session Student Forum Sunday Presentations Family Area To JR Sojiji Station 4th Floor Saturday Presentations 2nd Floor Sunday Presentations 3 Plenary Talk 10:00-11:00 Presentation Studio Stepping Back, Stepping Out and Moving Forward: SALCs as drivers of future focused education Dr. Luke Carson, Hiroshima City University In line with the conference theme of ‘New Beginnings’, this plenary takes the start of a new era, the Reiwa era in Japan, as its inspiration. Rather than focusing on a specific aspect of SALCs themselves, this discussion takes a step back from the day-to-day realities of working within and developing learning spaces, and focuses rather on larger movements happening in society, with a view to what these mean for what SALCs could or should be. Exponential change and globalisation are powerful aspects of our present and future existence that arguably require significant adjustments to educational models. My talk will make the case for a transdisciplinary approach to understanding and tackling this situation from the perspective of learner development and future needs. This discussion will be situated in the cultural context of Japan and its education systems. In their short history in Japan, SALCs have been a driver for educational change. Although no two SALC are the same, this plenary makes the argument that they can play a central role in promoting and developing future-focused education within their institutions. I will then share with you what I have learned from these studies and the implications for the development, management and day-to-day operation of self-access learning facilities. Bio Dr. Luke Carson is an Associate Professor in the International Studies Faculty at Hiroshima City University. He also serves as a PhD and doctoral supervisor in the area of learning for a number of universities. Dr. Carson has been involved in Self-Access language learning for the past two decades, working across a variety of SALCs as a Learning Advisor, a SALC coordinator, and a SALC consultant. These experiences have involved developing new SALCs, designing and delivering the educational programmes and opportunities available, the training of staff and the administration of the centres themselves.
