An IATEFL Learning Technologies SIG event hosted by the NUCB Graduate School (Fushimi Campus) at Nagoya University of Commerce and Business, Japan.

Since 2007 the Wireless Ready Symposium has grown considerably and it is now recognized as a regular feature of the events calendar for language educators with an interest in learning technologies. Hosted by the NUCB Graduate School in downtown Nagoya, the event is situated in the centre of the business and shopping district, only one subway stop from Nagoya Central Station. As in previous years we hope to offer the event in Second Life with live or recorded presentations at the Edunation II Amphitheatre.

The event is aimed at providing professional development for language educators, teachers and learning technologists in the areas of digital technologies and computer assisted language learning.
