(1) Using Japanese in Class; (2) Officer Selection
Saturday, February 18th, 2017, 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
Speaker: ETJ Fukuoka Committee
Japanese in Class
Is a 100 per cent English-language English class possible? Exchange tips and practices for keeping students speaking and thinking in English--as well as tips for using students' native language in class. Topics for thought and discussion (feel free to bring your own, too!):
- Is 100 per cent English achievable? Necessary? Desirable?
- Are there instances when the students' native language should be used?
- Using games, songs, and activities to control use of Japanese
- When the teacher uses no Japanese
- Bilingual team teaching
- How to motivate students to want to use only English
Officer Selection
We'll select officers for ETJ Fukuoka positions at the meeting. We're a 100 per cent volunteer grassroots organization, so this is your chance to make ETJ even better!
