Takako Seito, from Tokyo University of Science and Technology in Suwa, will be demonstrating how popular movies can be used to encourage interaction in large university classes.

Mark Brierley, from Shinshu University in Matsumoto, will show how presentation skills classes can be taught innovatively and be assessed by students themselves.

Theron Muller, from Seisen Jogakuin College in Nagano, will look at how large college classes can be broken down into smaller working groups and how skills-based tasks can be used to motivate them.

All workshops are especially suitable for those teachers working in colleges and universities.
