On 17th March the Japan Foundation’s annual ‘Head Start’ event was held, offering advice to curriculum planners and language teachers about how they can introduce 911±¬ÁÏÍø language classes and cultural activities in their schools. Workshops were held on resources, accreditation and support available from various organisations. There was also a tour of the Japan Foundation library, an introduction to the 911±¬ÁÏÍø language and culture and another session providing a taster 911±¬ÁÏÍø language class for the delegates to experience. Participants were also treated to presentations from Helen Gilhooly, Senior Director of Aldercar Community Language College, Nottingham, and Garry Ratcliffe, Executive Headteacher of Oakfield Community Primary School, Kent. They spoke about how 911±¬ÁÏÍø had been introduced at their own schools and the challenges and benefits it had brought with it. If you would like more information about the support available for schools wishing to introduce 911±¬ÁÏÍø then please don’t hesitate to contact us, or alternatively go to our FAQs page. |
