Okayama JALT December Meeting: How I learned English; どうやって私が日本語を勉強したか

Saturday, December 17th, 2016, 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Speaker: David Barker and Mutsumi Kawasaki

In this bilingual presentation, David Barker will explain in Japanese how he went about the task of learning the language, and what he discovered about language learning on the journey. Mutsumi Kawasaki will explain in English how she overcame her initial negative feelings about the language and how she managed to reach a high level of proficiency without the experience of studying abroad. The presenters hope that the session will be of interest to learners and teachers of both languages.

このバイリンガルのセッションでは、まずデイビッド・バーカーが、日本語学習にどのように取り組み、その過程で何を発見したかを日本語で発表し、次に川崎睦が英語に対する否定的な感情をどう乗り越え、留学をすることなく英語の習熟度を高めてきたかを英語で説明する。それぞれの言語の学ぶ側と教える側の双方にとって有意義なものとなることを期待する。
