An English Nagasaki Reader - John Ford / Return to Nagasaki

Saturday, May 15th, 2004, 1:30 PM - 4:00 PM

Speaker: Brian Burke-Gaffney, Nagasaki Institute of Applied Science, and Tim Allan, Kwassui Women's College

Nagasaki JALT's special guest presenter is a noted local teacher, translator, and writer, among his many other talents. For his first session with us in almost five years, Burke-Gaffney will discuss the general beginnings of English education, before asking us to work in groups with samples from the Crossroads journal, and with his more recent reader specially designed for Nagasaki English studies. Participants will receive free sample inspection copies. In the second session, Allan will use a CBC Canada video made with Burke-Gaffney's assistance about a Canadian POW's return to Nagasaki to show some ways to use it in a peace studies-related college class. Please note that for this month only the meeting location has been changed from the usual site.
