Learning Learning is the SIG newsletter and is published online (ISSN 1882-1103) by the JALT Learner Development SIG in Tokyo, Japan. To view the PDF files requires at least version 5 of Adobe Acrobat Reader.
We would like to encourage new writing and new writers and are also very happy to work with you in developing your writing. We would be delighted to hear from you about your ideas, reflections, experiences, and interests to do with learner development, learner autonomy and teacher autonomy.
We hope to publish the next issue of Learning Learning in April, 2012. Ideally, we would like to hear from you well before February 28, 2012 – in reality, the door is always open, so feel free to contact one of the editors when you are ready: Jackie Suginaga and Mike Mondejar.

Past issues of Learning Learning
Issues of Learning Learning going all the way back to 1994 are now available in PDF format, with some exceptions. Many thanks to founding co-coordinator Richard Smith for scanning archival copies, many of which were originally printed on an old Risograph, collated by hand, and mailed in hard copy. We will try to get our full archive uploaded during 2012.
