This is a short report where I reflect on my experience of attending the JASAL 2018 x SUTLF 5 conference. I joined the conference as a presenter and also a recipient of the student grant provided by the conference organizers. At the end of the paper, I will discuss a potential issue based on my experience which I personally consider important to explore.

This is a short report where I reflect on my experience of attending the Japan Association for Self-Access Learning (JASAL) 2018 x Sojo University Teaching & Learning Forum (SUTLF) 5 conference
The presentation by Lucius Von Joo, Robert Werner and Teruya Oikawa from Ryutsu Keizai University entitled “Connecting students and teachers through a student ambassador exchange program” was interesting in that a university which does not specialize in language studies attempted to get students motivated and involved in language learning through student ambassador exchange program
