Self-access language learning is a new term that I learned in the past couple of years, despite having been participating actively in two self-access facilities for years. When the current JASAL President, Clair Taylor invited me to join the association and take part in the annual conference, the academic world of self-access suddenly opened up to me, and it felt fresh yet familiar. Since I receive no research funding from my non-researching position, the generous support of the Newcomer Grant from JASAL allowed me to be a part of the JASAL 2019 national conference as both an attendee and a presenter.

日本自主学习协会 (JASAL) 2019 年全国会议回顾：新起点

自主语言学习是我在过去几年中学到的一个新术语，尽管多年来我一直积极参与两个自主学习设施。当现任 JASAL 主席 Clair Taylor 邀请我加入协会并参加年会时，自我访问的学术世界突然向我敞开了大门，感觉既新鲜又熟悉。由于我的非研究职位没有获得任何研究资金，因此 JASAL 新人资助的慷慨支持使我能够以与会者和演讲者的身份参加 JASAL 2019 全国会议。
