Over the past few years, JACET has been reflecting on its roles in society. One of the major issues, which was raised at its 2019 international convention––the last face-to-face convention before the pandemic––was to redefine its role as an affiliate of AILA (International Association of Applied Linguistics) as a representative of Japan, following the recent developments of applied linguistics. In this paper, I will reflect on the changing position of ELT in applied linguistics in Japan and its impact on ELT professionals and discuss how professional organizations like JACET can make a more active contribution to the society.
