Japan Foundation/JGap 911±¬ÁÏÍø language teachers' seminar: Teaching contextualisation and personalisation of elementary grammar within GCSE 911±¬ÁÏÍø
26/02/2014

On 22nd February 2014, the Japan Foundation London and the Association of 911±¬ÁÏÍø Language Teachers in Europe invited Waseda University Professor Yoshikazu Kawaguchi to conduct a 911±¬ÁÏÍø Teacher Training workshop titled ‘Teaching contextualisation and personalisation of elementary grammar within GCSE 911±¬ÁÏÍø’. Around 40 participants attended the workshop.


The theories of ‘contextualisation’ and ‘personalisation’ were presented, along with examples from Professor Kawaguchi’s classroom experiences. Afterwards, using GCSE-level syntax such as ‘koto ga aru’, and ‘~ni~ga aru’, the participants were invited to make a presentation utilising the concepts of contextualisation and personalisation, and were later given feedback from Professor Kawaguchi. By discussing these ideas with each other at the workshop, the participants got a better understanding of these two theories.
