TAIP Partners with English Language Teaching Conventions for Exciting Opportunities

TAIP is thrilled to announce a new partnership with the English Language Teaching Conventions, expanding professional development and networking opportunities for our members. This collaboration offers two key benefits:

  1. A Fantastic Learning Opportunity
    Attend a dynamic conference focused on young learners, featuring insightful workshops and the chance to connect with fellow educators from across Japan.
  2. A Chance to Present
    Are you passionate about early childhood education? Whether you’re an experienced presenter or a first-timer, this is your opportunity to share your knowledge with a supportive audience. Presentations can cover any topic related to early years education—so get involved and let your voice be heard!

About the Conference
Each year, Japan hosts four English Language Teaching Conventions, drawing 300–400 attendees, primarily educators of young children. The upcoming conference in Tokyo, scheduled for February 9th, will feature 12 presentation rooms and 72 engaging sessions throughout the day.

TAIP has been generously provided a dedicated presentation room for six sessions, and we’re inviting teachers from our member schools to join as presenters. The entrance fee is ¥1,000 per person, granting access to all sessions throughout the event.

How to Participate
We’re currently seeking teachers from our member schools to present on any topic related to early childhood education. Please note that presenters should not have strong commercial affiliations, such as being textbook publishers or authors.

Don’t miss this chance to contribute to the early years community! Contact us now to learn more or express your interest.
