Bi-annual Journal

JLL coverAATJ’s main venue for intellectual discourse among its members is the Association’s official journal, Japanese Language and Literature. (Before 2001 [Volume 35] the journal was entitled Journal of the Association of Teachers of Japanese.)

In existence since 1966, JLL provides a scholarly forum for its members and the larger academic world in the area of Japanese literature, Japanese linguistics, teaching Japanese as a second or foreign language, and Japanese culture. Two issues are published each year.
