NanKyu JALT's main publication is Selected Papers from SUTLF, which contains proceedings from the Sojo University Teaching & Learning Forum. For questions regarding this publication contact Larry Xethakis at sutlfproceedings@nankyujalt.org.
Since 2023, the SUTLF proceedings have been combined with the SILC Journal, which can be accessed here 崇城大学リポジトリ
With a focus on making connections outside, as well as inside, the classroom, the papers in the journal represent research papers relevant to both self-access learning in self-access centers and beyond, practice reports offering a detailed description of practice in a particular setting, and three short, reflective pieces written by three of the recipients of the JASAL student grants.
