Co-hosted by JALT Sendai, MY English School, and St. Ursula Eichi Elementary – Middle – High School, the Tohoku ELT Expo is a one day mini-conference that offers quality presentations and materials displays for language teachers in any context: college, jr. & sr. high, elementary, kindergarten and private language school. Presentations will be given by speakers from around Japan and the Sendai/Tohoku region. Sessions are generally 45 minutes (30-40 minute presentation with 5-15 minutes for questions & discussion). The aim is to provide top-class presentations and publishers’ material displays for every kind of English teacher.
