HomeThe Song of Myself: Haiku in the EFL Classroom
Sunday, October 15th, 2006, 2:00 PM - 4:30 PM
Speaker: Trudie Heiman
Come and experience a creative, fun, hands-on workshop on how and why Haiku in the EFL Classroom can teach your students much about English, how English works in relationship to hiragana/ katakana, and how to boost their pride and understanding of this unique Japanese art form that has spread world-wide. You will learn ways to present this to your students, write some of your own haiku on the spot, and also learn how to produce beautiful hand-bound editions for each of your students with very little cash outlay.
