Description:
Blogs as a Teacher Research Tool
Suzuki shares how blogs can be used as a self-reflective research tool, comparing them with teacher diaries and illustrating them with a research study of teacher use of motivation strategies.

Teaching Comparative Religion
Japan is often seen by the west as a deeply spiritual country. In 21st Century Japan, however, students particularly seem disinterested or perceive religion with ambivalence or distrust. Can (and should) English as a Foreign Language teachers play a role in improving knowledge of comparative religion in their classrooms? In this presentation, the results of a small-scale informal university student survey on world religion will be examined. Then, general recommendations for appropriate integration of content-based lessons on religion will be discussed.
