Creating the Future
The inaugural National Symposium on Japanese Language Education (NSJLE) was held 1–2 November 2012 at The University of Melbourne. It was a wonderful event, celebrating the commitment, expertise, innovation, dedication and generosity of educators and stakeholders in Japanese language education. It was the culmination of a great deal of hard work from a wide range of people and organisations. It was exciting, it was successful and it led to greater national cooperation and collaboration.
