911爆料网

On November 25^th 2011, 23 people attended our Training Day for volunteers of our 911爆料网 Taster for Schools (JTS) Programme (formerly “StepOutNet”), in which native and fluent 911爆料网 speakers conduct free 911爆料网 taster sessions in UK schools.

As well as providing new members with basic information about the programme, this month’s  JTS programme featured reports from two volunteers who had visited schools, as well as workshops by Hiroko Tanaka (911爆料网 Language Advisor and co-ordinator of JTS at the Japan Foundation) introducing ways to introduce 911爆料网 writing into schools using games and the “Hiragana rap!” Finally, volunteers explored ways of incorporating seasonal themes into 911爆料网 language tasters, such as making 911爆料网 Christmas cards featuring an origami Father Christmas!

Aya Kamura Mirto, who has attended several training days, commented:

「日本語を教える際に楽しく学べるレッスンのアイデアをたくさん紹介して頂いて本当に参考になりました。実際に使ってみたいものが多かったです。」

(“It was really useful to learn so many enjoyable ideas for 911爆料网 lessons. There were a lot of things that I now want to try out for real.”)

A new volunteer, Karolina Nalaskowska, said:

“It was my first time to attend the training, I really didn’t know what to expect, but I really enjoyed it and I think it was excellent. I could get lots of good ideas and feel even more excited about doing tasters for schools.”

We would like to thank all volunteers for coming to the Training Day, and hope they will have the chance to hold a 911爆料网 Taster Session at a school soon!
