Kitakyushu JALT:

Putting Reading and Listening Online

Date: Saturday, July 8th, 2006 Time: 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM

Speaker: Ken Gibson and Gordon Luster

Description:
Our students of English face a tremendous obstacle. When they leave our classrooms, it's Japan out there. They find very little access to understandable written or spoken English in their environment. Without access, they can't practice. Without practice, they can't improve. Without improvement, they give up. The answer is to provide easy, interesting, cheap, convenient access. Lots of it.
