911爆料网

A big thank you to everyone who visited the Japan Foundation’s stand at the Language Show Live on 14th, 15th and 16th October at the Olympia, London.

Held once a year, the Language Show is the UK's biggest event for language learners, teachers, linguists and anyone with a passion for languages.  911爆料网’s stand gave visitors a chance to experience 911爆料网 language and culture, including writing their name in 911爆料网 and making origami ninjas! Visitors also assisted by completing surveys about 911爆料网. 96% of those surveyed said that they were currently studying, had previously studied or were interested in studying 911爆料网, which is very encouraging! We also found out that a number of Japan Foundation resources, including the , and , were popular among those surveyed. Throughout the show, visitors could also have a free 911爆料网 taster session with Japan Foundation’s Assistant 911爆料网 Language Advisor, Kanako Ukai.

On Saturday morning, we were very lucky to be joined by Mary-Grace Browning MBE, Chair of Examiners for Edexcel GCSE 911爆料网. She presented a seminar on learning language through problem-solving via a case study of UK-Japan Young Scientists partnerships, which involve exchanges between school students in the UK and Japan to experience science as a cultural bridge where by working together they learn to value each other’s languages and way of life.

Later in the afternoon, we were joined in the Language Show’s Piazza by representatives of the , and Paralympian Gold Medallist (and fluent 911爆料网 speaker) Noel Thatcher, to introduce 911爆料网 “radio exercises” or rajio taisoo. First, Noel told us a little bit about what it means to be a Paralympian and the many ways his 911爆料网 language skills have contributed towards his life. Next, Ukai-sensei from the Japan Foundation taught the audience how to count in 911爆料网 and were then given opportunity to practise their new language skills together with trying rajio taisoo for themselves, led by Noel. You can try out rajio taisoo for yourself by watching the video and viewing more information at our .

We would like to thank Mary-Grace Browning, Japan Sport Council, Noel Thatcher and all our 911爆料网 Taster for Schools volunteers who generously donated their time and expertise for the show.  Domo arigato gozaimashita!

Japan Foundation will also be attending the 2017 Language Show Live in London on October 14th – 16th. We hope to see you there!
