Introducing Public Elementary School English and the Monbusho Handbook

Saturday, October 20th, 2001, 2:30 PM - 5:00 PM

Speaker: Tom Merner, Japan College of Foreign Languages

English instruction is about to become an option for the new "Period for Integrated Studies" in the Japanese public schools. Monbusho has published a Handbook for Elementary School English Teaching Activities to provide support to teachers. Merner, a member of the authoring committee, will introduce the handbook, share views about the direction public elementary school English seems to be heading, and introduce results of a survey about the current situation in schools which have already implemented English.
