How is CLT viewed and implemented by high school teachers of English?

Sunday, February 27th, 2005, 2:00 PM - 4:30 PM

Speaker: Rieko Nakajima

Since Monbu-kagakusho introduced the idea of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) in the Course of Study, nurturing practical "communicative competence" has been emphasized in the Japanese secondary English education. However, literature poses some questions to the overvaluation of CLT in Japanese educational system. This workshop presents the results of the research based on interviews with 19 junior and senior high school teachers regarding how they reacted to CLT, before inviting participants into discussion on CLT in Japan.
