Speaker: Samantha Kawakami (APRICOT Publishing, Sam's English School)

This is the first meeting of the San-in English Teacher's Group. There will be some time devoted to self-introductions and discussion of future meetings. The main content will be a 45-minute presentation on listening activities followed by Idea Sharing done in smaller groups. Everyone is asked to come with either an idea to share: a listening activity that went well, or a problem they had with a listening activity.
