My colleagues and I had a group presentation at a confrence held in Nagano, Japan on 11 February called
"A weekend with Tim Murphey (with optional skiing)" 
The content of our talk was about Self-Access Centre in a university where we work. It is a place where students learn foreign languages autonomasly.
The title of our presentation was "Student Voices from Self-Access: Informing Language Policy".

I always think that we can learn a lot through presenting our research in front of people. In addition, listening to other researchers' presentation is inspiring. 
Actually, I was very impressed by one of the guest speakers talk. She works at a university in Nagano.
Last year, the researcher received her doctoral degree in education from a British university. Believe it or not, she is in her 50s. 
Everybody celebrated her academic achievement saying, "Congratulations
" "Congratulations"
I could not complete my doctoral study in Leicester University, but since I am in my 40s, I thought that I could try again in a different university someday.
