Joining JALT is easy!
PAGE LINKS:
Your membership in JALT has other tangible benefits besides a nice entry on your resume under "Professional Activities". You get:
- A 12-issue subscription to The Language Teacher magazine. This includes feature articles, teaching tips and lesson plans that work, book reviews, meeting and conference announcements, and job advertisements. This magazine is also available in bookstores such as Kinokuniya for 950 yen per issue.
- A 2-issue subscription to the JALT Journal, containing practical and theoretical articles, as well as research reports. The JALT Journal is also available through Kinokuniya for 950 yen per issue.
- You will receive discounts on registration fees for the Annual JALT International Conference, as well as advance conference information.
- Substantial discounts on local chapter meeting fees. Nearly all local meetings are free to JALT members.
This means you save 3,300 even if you never come to a meeting! That's right. You get 13,300 yen worth of useful publications for 10,000 yen.
That's not all. Every meeting you attend for free saves you an additional 500 to 1000 yen. Add in the discounts on the national conference, and you're way ahead.
Save more!
If you share the same address with another person who's also interested in JALT, you can both join as joint members for only 8,500 yen each.
Save even more!
Why not receive the same benefits, yet save even more money? You can if you get at least four other people to join with you. Group memberships (five people or more) are 6,500 yen for each person.
There are two easy ways to join. One is to come to a JALT meeting and join on that day. But why wait? The faster way is to contact a chapter membership chair to request a membership application postal money order form. You can bring the postal money order form to any Japanese post office.
