Dear JALT Sponsor,
The Computer Assisted Language Learning Special Interest Group of the Japan Association for Language Teaching (JALT) will be hosting JALTCALL 2025, our annual conference, at Tokyo University of Science (Katsushika Campus) from Friday, July 18 to Sunday, July 20. The theme of this year’s conference is “CALL for All”, reflecting our view that the use of technology in language learning has progressed beyond special interests and is now an essential part of all language teaching and learning.
JALTCALL 2025: “CALL for All”
July 18–20, 2025
Tokyo University of Science (Katsushika Campus)

On behalf of the organizing committee, I would like to extend an invitation for you to join us as sponsors for the upcoming conference. The event will be an excellent opportunity to share information about your latest products and projects with an enthusiastic audience of technology-focused language education professionals.
Last year in Nagoya we held the most successful JALTCALL conference ever, with over 150 presentations and more than 260 attendees. The call for abstracts for the 2025 conference in Tokyo has recently closed with over 220 submissions. We are very confident that this upcoming conference will show improvement on every key metric—it will be bigger, more international, smoother, and a more satisfying experience for all of our presenters, partners, and attendees. JALTCALL is on an upward trend and we look forward to making you a part of it.
One of our goals for 2025 is to make a strong return to tangible conference materials. In particular, we plan to provide branded conference bags, which will be an excellent opportunity for sponsors to distribute materials to the conference attendees. Sponsors interested in including material in the conference bags should discuss this with the JALTCALL Sponsor Liaison. We are particularly interested in materials that will have some utility to our attendees, such as branded pens, folders, and notebooks.
