Practical Classroom Ideas for Teaching Japanese

Sunday, December 23rd, 2007, 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM

Speaker: Takame Ueki-Sabine (University of Tasmania)

Takame sensei will give a 30-minute workshop on concrete teaching ideas for the Japanese language classroom. This presentation will have participants taking an active (and sometimes physical!) role as she guides teachers through her teaching methods. She will discuss approaches/methods for different levels of Japanese teaching. She requests that participants wear loose and comfortable clothing.

Takame will then spend some time to discuss the JATS (Japanese Assistant Teaching Scheme), a ten-month Japanese teaching internship she coordinates for Tasmanian schools. Prospective Japanese teachers will be interested in this unique Australian programme.
