Join us for highlights from the 2009 JALT National Conference. Six of our members have brought back gems from the recent conference in Shizuoka and will share summaries, observations and discussion on these. Topics will include… Teacher training for elementary school English; Long-term effects of extensive reading; English proficiency through reading and storytelling; Developments in Spanish language teaching; 7 ways to look at grammar; and more.
We’ll then spend some time brainstorming on ideas for future programs of JALT Sendai.
Join us for a good time of learning, discussion and contributing your “two cents” toward a strong lineup of coming programs.
