Sensei no Wa – Sept. 13, 2019 (Fri.)

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:   Improvisation Game （即興ゲーム）

Topic:
Improvisation Game started originally as one of the methods of training for improvisational theater. Making judgements based on your surroundings, deciding on what your role should be, and acting it out according to a storyline without a script is very similar to real life.
I’m thinking we can have fun while doing a game where Japanese is used naturally. Leave your desks, chairs, and textbooks behind and let’s do a game using just our mind and body.

Theme: PCPP –flow of communication-based classes–
ーコミュニケーションを重視した授業の流れー

Topic:
PCPP stands for Presentation-Comprehension-Practice-Production. It is a 4-step process that can be used as a guide to increase the effectivity of communication-based classes. It is structured in a way in which students can progress together through active participation. With the help of different activities, the learning becomes meaningful and more fun for the students.

Let’s discover the difference between these 4 steps, and how it can help improve how we conduct our Nihongo classes.

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.
