Speaker: Hideki Sakai, Shinshu University

Description:
Hideki Sakai shows how to make learning English more effective among young learners by engaging them in meaningful activitites. These activities should be arranged so that students become aware of the meanings of English while performing a practical task. During this presentation, Sakai illustrates how learning English can become thought-provoking and stimulating, in contrast to the mechanical and boring style many young students are used to.
