J-CAN Project Report
by Yasuo Uotate, President of Association of Florida Teachers of Japanese
It has been seven months since the summer J-CAN Workshop on July 8-10, 2016. The J-CAN Project has been moving forward and clearly making a positive impact in the four regions represented by the Association of Florida Teachers of Japanese (AFTJ), the Mid-Atlantic Association of Teachers of Japanese (MAATJ), the Ohio Association of Teachers of Japanese (OATJ), and the Southeastern Association of Teachers of Japanese (SEATJ).
The regional associations have several ongoing articulation projects based on the Core Practices as a common language, and we have further strengthened our networks within and among organizations through follow-up online meetings and conference participations.
More than ten J-CAN Project members participated in the SEATJ 2017 conference and gave four presentations to share their articulation efforts. Their presentations with practical project ideas with concrete examples were inspiring and well received.

At the ACTFL 2016 conference, the J-CAN Project leadership group and several participating members gave two presentations. Their J-CAN Project presentation engaged the audience in discussing the significance of expanding and sustaining articulation projects that started with the Japanese Global Articulation Project (J-GAP) in 2011. Furthermore, a large number of native- and non-native-speaking Japanese teachers enjoyed the presentation about Six Core Practices.
