There will be a ‘relaunch’ of the Tokyo JALT Journal, with the first issue of the new format planned for 2023. While the original journal featured peer-reviewed research articles, the new format of the journal will focus less on primary research, and operate more as a forum for chapter members to share their voices and collaborate as a professional and research community. The journal will focus on the following types of paper: Perspective pieces, practitioner responses, research 'work-in-progress' reports, 'research workshop' pieces.
