We are pleased to present Volume 3, Issue 1 of Relay Journal. This journal’s purpose is to promote and disseminate research as well as practices related to learner and teacher autonomy, in various learning contexts around the world. The theme of this issue is research and learner autonomy, which corresponds with the general mission of RILAE (the Research Institute for Learner Autonomy Education). In late 2019, researchers affiliated with RILAE participated in a forum (Mynard et al., 2020) on this same theme at the 2019 JALT International Conference and subsequently discussed their work in an online LAb session. The enthusiastic response by participants at those events demonstrates the high level of interest in the topic, and the variety of the articles contained in this issue illustrates the diversity of potential research in our field. It is our hope that these articles inspire readers as examples of replicable research or by sparking new ideas for areas of investigation.

Background/Aim: The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way of traditional conference and meeting. Since social distancing rule was important issue, many conferences across the world were cancelled or postponed indefinitely. In 2020, International Conference of the Korean Pancreatobiliary Association (IC-KPBA) was held as a hybrid online and offline conference. Here, we report the result of a national survey about online and offline medical conference in Korea.Methods: The survey was performed for both online and offline participants after IC-KPBA. The contents of survey included their way to access the hybrid online-offline conference and satisfaction with the conference format.Results: Total of 78 participants answered the survey and there was no technical problem. Most offline participants were satisfied the prevention measures at conference hall as follows; very satisfied-56%; satisfied-34%. The quality of video and audio were generally satisfactory in both conference hall and virtual conference. ‘Live online lectures’ is the most preferred method of lecture delivery and personal computer with LAN network is preferred to access online conference. Eighty seven percent of offline participants and 91% of online participants answered satisfied and very satisfied, respectively.Conclusions: Participants of IC-KPBA 2020 with hybrid online-offline conference showed a high level of satisfaction.

"Give me a fish and I eat for a day. Teach me to fish and I eat for a lifetime." This proverb taken from Chinese culture is associated with learner autonomy. Once learning used to be the matter of receiving the body of knowledge which could then be used for the rest of life. But such view has been nonsense in this fast-paced world. Therefore, the learners should be provided with the skills necessary for the lifelong pursuit for knowledge. This article begins with the general concept of autonomy and goes on to consider different aspects of autonomy. It insists that learner autonomy does work in any culture provided that the teacher also has autonomy to some extent and curriculum is designed accordingly. While it highlights that total autonomy is neither feasible nor desirable in formal language learning contexts, it argues that learner autonomy is necessary for making someone lifelong learner.Key words: Learner autonomy; Teacher autonomy; Curriculum; Culture; ActivitiesJournal of NELTAVol. 15 No. 1-2 December 2010Page: 114-120Uploaded date: 4 May, 2011DOI: 10.3126/nelta.v15i1-2.4617

Insight Into

The recent European Society of International Law Research Forum – only the Society's second conference following the inaugural event in Florence last year – took place from the 24-26th May 2005 in stunning surroundings on the shores of Lac Lemain in the buildings of the Graduate Institute of International Studies in Geneva. Quite apart from the obvious importance of a high-level international conference under the auspices of one of the most important international law societies in the world, and the attendant quality of the speakers and other participants, the event was of real significance in that it allowed for an insight into how the new Society itself is developing, and the manner in which it will go about the task of fulfilling the objectives that it has set itself.

Shed Light

The notion that the mind approximates rational (Bayesian) inference has had a strong influence on thinking in psychology since the 1950s. In constrained scenarios, typical of psychology experiments, people often behave in ways that approximate the dictates of probability theory. However, natural learning contexts are typically much more open-ended --- there are often no clear limits on what is possible, and initial proposals often prove inadequate. This means that coming up with the right hypotheses and theories in the first place is often much harder than ruling among them. How do people, and how can machines, expand their hypothesis spaces to generate wholly new ideas, plans and solutions?Recent work has begun to shed light on this problem via the idea that many aspects of learning can be better understood through the mathematics of program induction.People are demonstrably able to compose hypotheses from parts and incrementally grow and adapt their models of the world. A number of recent studies has formalized these abilities as program induction, using algorithms that mix stochastic recombination of primitives with memoization and compression to explain data, ask informative questions [8], and support one- and few-shot-inferences. Program induction is also proving to be an important notion for understanding development and learning through play and the formation of geometric understanding about the physical world.The aim of this workshop is thus to bring together scientists who have a joint interest in how intelligent systems (humans or machines) can learn rich representations and action plans (expressable as programs) though observing and interacting with the world.

The following speech was given by the President of the International Committee of the Red Cross, Peter Maurer, on 2 October 2014 at the Maison de la Paix in Geneva during a conference organized by the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies. Maurer recalled the continued relevance and importance of the humanitarian principles and warned that a lack of common understanding, as well as politicized uses of the principles, jeopardizes the scope and scale of humanitarian action. The speech launched the ICRC's Second Research and Debate Cycle on Principles Guiding Humanitarian Action. Throughout 2015 – the year of the 50th anniversary of the adoption of the Fundamental Principles of the Red Cross and Red Movement (the Movement) and of the 32nd International Conference of the Movement, and leading to the World Humanitarian Summit in 2016 – the Research and Debate Cycyle has gathered key actors in the humanitarian field during public events and high-level conferences.1These events have encouraged substantive discussions on the principles among experts from the Movement, the humanitarian, governmental and academic fields, and other informed participants.

Linguistic intelligence is one of eight multiple intelligences that currently attracts attention in the world of education. Linguistic intelligence is a person's ability to speak both verbally and in writing, besides that people who have linguistic intelligence also master the components of linguistic intelligence which consists of phonology, syntax, semantics and pragmatics. The type of research used is research and development (R & D) with a 4D model. The subjects in this study were experts as validators, fifth grade students for trials and homeroom teachers in elementary schools. Data collection is done by giving a questionnaire to the validator. In this study the researchers concluded that the product of the developed linguistic intelligence assessment instrument was declared feasible to be used based on the results of validation of 86% with very feasible categories. The obstacle in developing the product of this instrument of linguistic intelligence assessment is the lack of knowledge of the school about the importance of linguistic intelligence for students in elementary schools.
