For all of us, professional development (PD) means improving as a teacher and learner. You can choose to do it alone by self-study or you can do it through collaboration and shared experiences in a community of like-minded professionals. It used to be costly and time-consuming to join PD courses but not anymore with the ongoing proliferation of online learning opportunities.
This is an opportunity for JALT Kobe Chapter members and other local teachers to share language teaching activities and ideas. Each participant is asked to bring one successful lesson plan, activity, or other material. Participants will go away with several ready to use activities for the new semester. Please come and share your creativity.
This presentation will look at extensive reading (ER) under two themes: a) ER-related classroom activities and b) ER and autonomy. The presenters will use highlights from their research findings into Reading Circles and peer evaluations as well as "interest" and "choice" to outline various practical implications.
Once again, the Kobe Chapter will join its neighboring chapters--Kyoto, Nara and Osaka-otherwise known as the Kansai JALT, for a year-end event of PechaKucha presentations. This year, we will be combined with the PechaKucha Night Nishinomiya #11 at the Konan University’s Hirao School of Management (CUBE) in Nishinomiya.

For many foreign and international families living in Japan, there is both a need and a desire to raise their children in both Japanese and another language. Sometimes it is because the parents speak and use two languages in their daily lives. Other times it is a conscious decision to expose the children to a certain language from an early age.
The lecture is divided in two parts, theory and practice.
The first part introduces some theoretical aspects showing relations between rhythm in language and rhythm in music. This part may introduce linguistic concepts that may be of interest to all EFL teaching, beyond singing in class.
This is our First Brain-day event that we hope will turn into a significant annual conference for EFL in Japan. We are therefore looking to gather teachers and researchers, from novice to expert, who are interested in helping make a pivotal connection between neuroscience and EFL. http://www.fab-efl.com/ For promo posters, flyers and postcards go to http://www.fab-efl.com/21690.html
