Toyohashi JALT:

Using short stories and poems in Japanese University English classes

Date: Sunday, April 17th, 2005 Time: 1:30 PM - 4:00 PM

Speaker: Hillel Wright

Description:
Using selections from the 2002 anthology Faces in the Crowds; a Tokyo international anthology, we will explore the ways university English teachers can employ literature, in short forms, to inspire class discussion, provide topics for speech or presentation and present examples for writing assignments - either critical essays or creative works. The text chosen is recently published (2002) and includes much material about current Japan and/or written by current residents of Japan.
