Don't Look Back - Genesis 45:21-28

In this September studio talk episode of the JALTCALL podcast, "AI, Publications, and Conferences," the team discusses new AI developments and upcoming events as well as announcing the inaugural edition of the JALTCALL Trends journal is now live, with all 30 articles individually linked and openly accessible. The podcast also covers recent AI research in working papers, especially one from the NBER Working Paper Series, How People Use ChatGPT by Chatterji et al. (2025, Sep) Working Paper 34255

We mention Sesame AI's Miles and Maya from the interview with Gordon Wilson earlier this month.  We discuss researching the most commonly used verbs in prompt engineering, focusing on custom commands for LLMs like Gemini and ChatGPT. The discussion highlights that many non-English, LLMs, particularly from China, are non-English models which are also gaining traction, raising questions about data bias and language accessibility. We end the episode with mention of the upcoming JALTCALL Forum and Podcast Workshop at the JALT 2025 International conference in Tokyo, as well as the JALTCALL Symposium in March 2026.
Enjoy the show.

Focusing on presence, not absence – flipping the script on attendance

What does a literal "obedience training" sign at a doggy daycare have to do with spiritual awakening? Discover a journey from being a perfectionist Ivy League student who always felt "second place" to learning that true obedience isn't about performing for approval—it's about trust. Why would someone walk away from a prestigious university after sensing God's quiet voice telling them to leave, and how does this connect to the way we train our pets? Through six powerful commands that mirror how we train dogs—sit, stay, come, heal, know, and leave it—explore how God's "no" might actually be His kindest possible answer. Could the very thing you're resisting be exactly what will set you free from the endless cycle of trying to prove your worth?

Making Words Stick: 
A Four-Step Instructional Routine to Power Up Orthographic Mapping			
Written by Molly Ness and Katie Pace Miles
Narrated by AhDream Smith									

The average reader instantly recognizes 30,000 to 70,000 words-with no need to sound them out. How does that happen? Through a process called orthographic mapping. This audiobook explains the process by which readers embed words into their long-term memories, and the instruction necessary to help K-5 students do just that. Teachers will learn how to connect decoding, encoding, and meaning through a four-step, research-based, classroom-tested routine that accelerates students' abilities to lift words off the page and capture them in reading and writing.
