New publication: "Interview with Steve McCarty" [on his professorial accomplishments in Japan].
The College and University Educators research group of the Japan Association for Language Teaching has honored me with their second annual Veteran Teacher Voices interview on my teaching career in Japan. I critique the foreign language teaching profession, discuss future trends of increasing foreigners in Japan, the need for English, and long-term effects of AI on language acquisition.
I believe educationalists will find this article interesting: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/386424805

Late in my last semester teaching, here are three photos of autumn colors on campus in Ōsaka.
Soon I will be honored by the College and University Educators research group of the Japan Association for Language Teaching with an interview article about my teaching career. This is after the 2022 book chapter on my relationship with Japan and my research discoveries. The forthcoming interview is mostly about my professorial accomplishments, but it also includes personal happenings. My summation of how the foreign language teaching profession took a wrong turn around the 1990s in Japan will be controversial.
Soon I will post a link to the article or preprint when it is available online.

Just saw a job title Spanish language demonstrator (at university level) on LinkedIn as a connection suggestion.
Is that not a teacher or tutor?
It's a bit like Translators who are now calling themselves Language Flow Architects when there is nothing wrong with sticking with good old #Translator (or Interpreter).
Trying to get a job in AI maybe.
'language demonstrator' though? Anyone else seen this? Curious.
