Title
JACET (The Japan Association of College English Teachers)
Description
The Japan Association of College English Teachers (JACET), originally a subsidiary of the Institute for Research in Language Teaching, was founded as an independent organization in 1962. JACET was established in a time of educational reform, in order to improve the state of English language education. Those involved were strongly convinced of the need to solve college-level problems relating to English language education so as to improve the teaching of the subject at all levels of the educational system.
In the early years, the primary activities of the organization were the sponsorship of an annual convention, held in the autumn, and the publication of JACET Reports, a newsletter containing the proceedings of the conventions. One hundred and forty people attended the first convention, which was held at the Tokyo University of Foreign Studies.
In 1967, with the financial support of the Fulbright Commission, the first JACET Summer Seminar was held. This was a turning point for the organization because in its wake JACET began to experience a rapid growth in both membership and influence. The membership, 140 at the time of founding in 1962, jumped to 1,350 in 1980, and has now reached 3,000. District-based activities grew with the rising membership, and, consequently, local chapters were formed (Kansai, 1972; Tohoku, 1981; Chubu, 1983; Chugoku-Shikoku, 1984; Kyushu-Okinawa, 1984; Hokkaido, 1986).
