Kitakyushu JALT:

Writing Class: A great fun part of senior high school

Date: Saturday, April 14th, 2007 Time: 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM

Speaker: Takashi Inomori

Description:
When Oral Communication was introduced to Japanese senior high schools in the 90s, a great number of seminars and workshops took place to give ideas on how and what to teach in the new subject. On the other hand, when the subject of Writing replaced English 2C, not many high school teachers realized that they were supposed to teach a new subject. Even now, in 2007, the basic practice of translating Japanese sentences into English seems to occupy most writing lessons, just as it did in the 2C days.

Inomori Takashi and his colleagues at Meiji Gakuen High School in Kitakyushu have been able to encourage their students to express their thoughts in writing classes, as can be seen on the Meiji website.

In this workshop, Inomori will offer some ideas and strategies to make writing classes fun, and show how to help teenagers grow, not only as writers, but also as good learning partners. Each participant will be asked to write on a topic, let it be read by others, and have fun.
