Sensei no Wa – January 26, 2019 (Sat.)

先生の輪は、日本語教師の交流の場です。もっと楽しく、もっとおもしろく一緒に日本語教育を勉強しましょう！

“Sensei no Wa” is open to both experienced and neophyte Japanese-language teachers, and offers a platform for information exchange with one’s peers. It is for the further encouragement of Japanese Language Education and aims to support professional enrichment and network expansion through interactive learning.

Theme: Roudoku: Reading aloud in Japanese! 朗読をやってみましょう！

Topic:

Roudoku means “reading out loud” and it can offer various learnings and techniques in teaching and learning of the Japanese Language. It is also fun and interesting for the students to learn several cultures of the Japanese people since each story has plenty of customs and traditions with it. It can appeal both to beginners and advance learners. One of the good things about reading out loud is that it forces you to think about how you pronounce the words.

講師【MS. LANIE VILLEGAS GARCIA】

  • Studied Japanese Language at Greenlife and Forest Foundation (2004)
  • Worked as Trainee in Nitto Denko, Kameyama, Mie- Ken, Japan (2005 – 2008)
