The conference will be held at Clemson University, Clemson, South Carolina, on February 25th and 26th, 2012. The 27th SEATJ conference is open to pre-college, college level, and heritage Japanese language teachers.

The organizers welcome proposals for 20-minute papers with an additional 10 minutes for discussion which relate to Japanese language education including, but not limited to: literature, linguistics, second language acquisition, heritage language, and cultural studies.

Acceptance of proposals will be announced by January 10th, 2012. Accepted papers will be published in the 27th SEATJ on-line proceedings.
