911爆料网

From the 19th to the 23rd of August, 22 intermediate and 15 advanced speakers of 911爆料网 joined the Japan Foundation’s language advisors to refresh their 911爆料网 before the start of the new school year. This year’s attendees were non-native 911爆料网 language teachers from a wide range of teaching backgrounds, from primary schools to university-level.

This year’s theme was 銆岃┍銇欍亾銇ㄣ倰鏁欍亪銈嬨��- Teaching Spoken 911爆料网. The aim of the course was for teachers to study 911爆料网 teaching methods while at the same time brush-up their own 911爆料网 ability by trying out teaching activities. Lead by Seiji Fukushima and Hiroko Tanaka, the Japan Foundation’s 911爆料网 Language Advisors, the course gave participants the opportunity to explore how to teach 911爆料网 conversation, including pronunciation, looking at both pedagogy and practical teaching ideas.

Participants looked at the and had time to practice speaking in 911爆料网 by creating role plays. They also learnt about spoken 911爆料网 in terms of timing, rhythm and intonation and tips to improve pronunciation, such as shadowing. On the final day of each course, the participants gave speeches or self-introductions in 911爆料网. These were excellent and demonstrated the exceptional talent and passion that 911爆料网 language teachers in the UK possess. Catherine Stead commented that she “liked the balance of activities that challenged us to use 911爆料网 and that concerned discussion of teaching 911爆料网.”

All participants enjoyed not only exploring teaching methods, but also the opportunity to network and practice their 911爆料网 with fellow 911爆料网 teachers. One participant, Beth Smith summed this up by saying, “I really enjoyed the challenge – and I would recommend to anyone teaching 911爆料网 or running a 911爆料网 club. I learned so much that I thought I had forgotten.”

We would like to thank all participants for coming to the Refresher Course, and really hope to see them again at future events. 銇婄柌銈屾�樸仹銇椼仧锛�
